British Court accept Ahmadis are Muslims
The Light (UK), August 1996 Issue (p. 1)
A British court has accepted that members of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-e-Islam are Muslims. The case centred on the division of assets between an Ahmadi petitioner and a non-Ahmadi defendant. The petitioner held that zakat [poor rate] should be deducted before calculating disposable income and savings for Hajj [pilgrimage] should not be divided as these are both primary duties of a Muslim. Defendant held that the Government of Pakistan had declared Ahmadis to be kafirs [non-Muslims] and Ahmadis should not perform these duties. Our position was that we are Muslims because we say so and no one else has the right to determine our religion. Also, that we pay zakat and perform Hajj because the Holy Quran makes it compulsory and not because the Government of Pakistan says so. The court accepted these arguments without contention.
In the final analysis, it is Allah who will decided whether we are Muslims or not. It was to protect the innocent from the cruel and unjust religious leaders that He did not devolve this authority to a human.
