The Qadiani Prophet - Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib is a follower-prophet - the last prophet to walk on the earth.
Other Muslims in Guyana
The Israeli Prophet Jesus AS would be the last to walk on face of the earth though he will not be a prophet.
Distinction #2
Everyone is entitled to his own opinions
Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman – GAAIIL
Everyone is entitled to his own opinions. The Holy Quran is the final Shariah (religious code) for the world. It is a gift from Allah to Mankind and all are entitled to read and receive their own inspirations.
Qadiani / Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at
The Khalifa's word is final. He is appointed by Allah and his ruling is final for all.
Other Muslims in Guyana
The Scholars cannot be disputed. The best interpreter of the Qur'an is Muhammad PBUH, after him, his companions, then their companions up to the 4th generation. After that, then the opinions of the scholars.
Distinction #3

Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman – GAAIIL
Four levels of authority for Islamic Law. The Holy Qur'an, The Sunnah, Analogy then consensus.

Distinction #4
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib (MGA)
Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman – GAAIIL
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib (MGA) was not a prophet but a Mujaddid (Reformer) and the Promised Messiah and Mahdi in Islam. He received non-prophetic revelations.
Qadiani / Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at
MGA was a prophet as well as Promised Messiah, Mujaddid and Mahdi in Islam. He received prophetic revelation from Allah.
Other Muslims in Guyana
MGA was a false claimant to revelation. He could not have received revelation as there can be no revelation after the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
Distinction #5
MGA never changed his claim, views or definition of prophethood
Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman – GAAIIL
MGA never changed his claim, views or definition of prophethood. He was called prophet by Allah but explained the context of those non-prophetic revelations and advised those who could not understand this usage of the word prophet to replace it with Muhaddas (one spoken to by God).
Qadiani / Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at
MGA changed his claim from Mujaddid to Prophet. Allah called him a prophet from the beginning, but he did not recognize that call until later in his life. Since the word prophet can be found in his writings, he was really a prophet though he did not bring a new law.
Other Muslims in Guyana
MGA has falsely claimed to be a prophet.

Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman – GAAIIL

Final Conclusions:

Guyana Ahmadiyya Anjuman
Isha'at-I-Islam (Lahore)

Is the only Group to proudly display its belief and openly uphold the absolute finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) See our sign board at our Headquarters that clearly states-

There is no God except Allah,
Muhammad PBUH is the final Messenger of Allah.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib was a Mujaddid, Mahdi and the Promised Messiah. He was not a prophet.

Can the Qadianis put up a board saying Mirza Sahib is a prophet. Can the Sheikhs put up a board saying that Jesus AS is coming back?

Ahmadi-Muslim Jama'at

Ahmadi-Muslim Jama’at does not display to Muslims the fact that they believe Mirza Sahib is a prophet on any of their mosques or major signboards. It can only be found in fine print on their website and some publications. It is never the headline. Prophethood is the highest position a human being can be given. Why is that not presented first and on the biggest of signboards?

When one hides information specifically to create a false impression, it can become deceit.

This is often called lying by omission.

Other Muslims in Guyana

Organizations like CIOG, GIT and Darool Uloom claim Muhammad (PBUH) is the final prophet while simultaneously holding that Jesus (AS) awaits in Heaven to return bodily — a belief they use to quietly oppose GAAIIL. By avoiding public debate, they protect what we view as an un-Islamic narrative that a " Living Christian God" will return to defeat the Dajjal.

They will never put up a sign board that says Jesus is Alive in Heaven or that Jesus AS will return to save them. Their deadly whisper campaign will not work.

Allah Says: “They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, though the disbelievers may be averse.” ~ Quran 61:8
