Recently, in the past two weeks, I have written two essays in response to BB Sanneh’s allegations against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat. These essays, like BB Sanneh’s, were published on the Fatu Network. In the first and second articles I extended a challenge to him to produce the al Kitaab al mubeen, a book he claimed is the book of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at. In the second essay, I challenged him that if he is so sure of his statements about the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, then he should invoke the curse of Allah on the liar. I deem it necessary that I should publish these challenges separate from the essays I have written because it seems that he is deliberately ignoring that these challenges are included in the essays.
FIRST CHALLENGE
BB Sanneh stated, “They [Ahmadis] say there is no Qur’an other than what the Promised Messiah (Ghulam Ahmad) brought…. They also believe their book was revealed. Its name is al kitaab al-Mubeen and it is different from the Holy Qur’an.”
In response to BB Scanner, I wrote:
“I hereby challenge BB Sanneh to kindly show the complete text of the book the “Promised Messiah (Ghulam Ahmad) brought” which “is different from the Holy Qur’an” revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) more than 1400 years ago. I put forward a reward of twenty five thousand dalasis (D25, 000.00) if he produce this book and prove its authorship, beyond any reasonable doubt, by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at. Let him kindly exhibit this book. The onus of proof lies on the claimant. This unsubstantiated claim has been made for decades; let us now see the proof. I give you one month, starting from the date of the publication of this article, to prove your claim, if indeed you are truthful. Remember that Allah’s curse is always on the liars.
“The amount is very meager but no amount should in fact be meager for BB Sanneh as far as fulfilling his “responsibility” is concerned. In fact, even without a financial reward he should fulfill this responsibility.”
The above quotation is from my response to BB Sanneh which was published on the Fatu Network on 27 May 2017 and therefore the deadline is 27 June 2017.
In an effort to evade the challenge, BB Sanneh responded in an essay published on the Fatu Network published on 30 May 2017. He responded:
“The brother (referring to me, Tahir Ahmad Touray) is trying to put a spanner on the spoke of the wheels in order to deceive the gullible and uninformed readers. Why is he offering D25, 000 just for this point out all the so called allegations? In any case I will list down here some of their verses and writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and you the readers can judge if their Quran is different or not.”
This is an attempt to evade the challenge. However I responded to him in an essay published on the same medium published on 3 June 2017:
“I have realized that you want to run away from the challenge by saying that why did I choose to offer D25, 000 just for this point out of all the so-called allegations and also referring to it as “…trying to put a spanner on the spoke of the wheels…” This is the simple reason: The Holy Qur’an is the essence of Islam; there would have been no Islam without the Holy Qur’an. The fundamental beliefs and practices of Islam are embedded in the Holy Qur’an. By attacking the Holy Qur’an, you have attacked the very foundations of the religion which is the acceptable religion in the sight of Allah, the religion called Islam. How did you attack it? You attacked it by saying that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was able to produce a book like the Qur’an called al Kitaab al Mubeen, contrary to the Qur’anic declaration that no one can produce even a chapter like any chapter of the Holy Qur’an. I am therefore obliged to defend the very foundation of Islam which you have vehemently attacked.
“The 27th Day of June 2017 is the deadline I have given you and the challenge still stands. Instead of making unnecessary statements in order to evade the challenge, please let the world see this book al Kitaab al Mubeen. By doing that you will save the entire Ummah from the deception of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at as you called it.”
I am reiterating here that I am calling on BB Sanneh to produce the so-called al kitaab al mubeen of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at. A book that he referred to as “THEIR QURAN”. He believes that there is a Qur’an different from the Qur’an brought by Sayyednaa Muhammad Rasoolullaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Ahmadi Muslims believe that there is only one book on earth that deserves the name QURAN and is called so. That book was revealed to Muhammad Rasoolullaah (saw). However, BB Sanneh believes that there is another “Quran” and the other name of that “Quran” is al kitaab al mubeen.
No Ahmadi Muslim throughout the world has ever seen that book. BB Sanneh has possibly seen the book and most probably possesses it. It is now time for him to show it to the entire world. He must show this book to the world and prove his case or tell the entire world that he is a fabricator of the highest order and a mental slave who cannot think for himself. THE WORLD IS WAITING! THE DEADLINE IS 27 JUNE 2017!!
THE SECOND CHALLENGE
BB Sanneh throughout his two essays attributed many beliefs to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at. Despite my response to the allegations, he is still insisting that his statements are true. In my essay of 3 June 2017, I extended the following challenge to him:
“You have been trying to hail your scholars as heroes and custodians of the Islam to an extent that you believe they have the mandate and authority to declare who is or is not a Muslim, among them you specifically mentioned Abdoulie Fatty, formerly of the State House mosque. Let me put it to you that those so-called scholars in the Gambia were challenged to a Mubahala (a duel of prayers wherein the curse of Allah is invoked on the wilful liars0. Ask Abdoulie Fatty especially and his team of anti-Ahmadiyya scholars why they did not accept the challenge for a duel of prayers and invoke the curse of Allah on the wilful liars whoever those wilful liars may have been. For twenty years now, the challenge has not been accepted. I am now telling you, Bakary B Sanneh and whatever scholar you are referring to, that if you are so sure of your truthfulness and allegations that you have raised against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at; if you are so sure of the falsehood of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), then publicly announce what you think and believe about the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at and then publicly declare that you pray for the curse of Allah to descend upon the wilful liar whoever it is. …. Please do not hesitate to do this if indeed you are defending Islam. It will definitely be a great service to Islam.”
BB Sanneh is now writing obscenities on facebook. I challenged him there many times to make a public announcement that Allah’s curse should descend upon the liar but he has always evaded it. He wrote on facebook:
“For the record in 1907, Mufti Sanaullah of India took your deviant murrtad founder to the challenge of a public Mubahala that the liar should die in the lifetime of the other. Barely a year later your disgraced kaafir Mirza Ghulam Ahmad died a very disgraceful death on his bed by defecating and vomiting while the former lived for almost another 40 years afterwards preaching and spreading the word of Islam. So our scholars have already done that job for us. If fighting and continuing to expose the kuffur of your jamat is going to bring me disgrace then I look forward to that disgrace. May Allah guide you all to Islam.”
BB Sanneh, to say that your scholars have done that job for you, therefore you do not need to do it is exposing your falsehood. Your scholars have also authored for you volumes of lies and obscenities against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at. Then you should not have written the lies as an essay. Since you have written the lies that they have already written for you, you should also be able to accept the invocation of Allah’s curse on the liar. This statement shows that you are certain that you are not the least truthful.
Let me shed some light on the Sanaullah issue. This is what happened: In 1897, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, in his book Anjam-e-Atham, invited some people to a Mubahala and among them was one Maulvi Sanaullah of Amratsar. The terms of this Mubahala were left open. The Promised Messiah (as) clearly and unambiguously stated that Allah would decide according to the standard of truthfulness set by Sanaullah so that there would be no room for complaint. So, actually, the Promised Messiah (as) gave Sanaullah a blank cheque and Sanaullah filled in the terms of his own choice. In 1902, Maulvi Sanaullah filled in the blank cheque by writing that the liar should die in the lifetime of the truthful one. The Promised Messiah (as) readily accepted it. Immediately after the Promised Messiah’s acceptance, Maulvi Sanaullah changed course and retreated from his term that the liar should die in the lifetime of the truthful. Maulvi Sanaullah made many statements in order to evade the challenge. Later, in 1907, Maulvi Sanaullah filled in the blank cheque once again by writing that the truthful should die in the lifetime of the liar citing the Holy Qur’an that Allah grants respite to wrongdoers so that they would increase in their wrongdoing and eventually face the punishment of Allah. He went further to say that that was why Musailima the Liar outlived Muhammad Rasoolullaah (saw). The Promised Messiah (as) readily accepted the challenge and he the truthful (the Promised Messiah) died in the lifetime of the liar (Maulvi Sanaullah). So, the blank cheque given by the Promised Messiah (as) and filled by Maulvi Sanaullah in the terms of his own choice was honoured accordingly.
The truth is that the Promised Messiah (as) had stated clearly, as a prophecy, that Allah would decide according to the standard of truthfulness set by Sanaullah, and so He did. The true one died early and the liar lived long to tell the tale of his own falsehood.
If you still believe and insist:
- That Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed Goodhood
- That Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed superiority to Muhammad Rasoolullaah (saw)
- That Ahmadis have “their Quran” which is different from the Holy Qur’an that was revealed to Muhammad Rasoolullaah (saw)
- That Mirza Ghulam Ahmad died a disgraceful death as result of a Mubahala with Maulvi Sanaullah
- That Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is a false claimant
- That Ahmadis are kuffaar
- That Ahmadis believe that Allah forgets, makes mistakes, sleeps and even engage in carnal pleasures
(These are beliefs you attributed to Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at)
Then make a public announcement of these issues and then declare the curse of Allah on the liar. I hope that before the 27 June 2017, you will make a public announcement, and publish it on the online newspapars and our local newspapers in the Gambia, that these are Ahmadiyya Muslim beliefs and then you declare the curse of Allah on the liar.
I pray that the curse of Allah descend on the liar. The curse of Allah be upon the liar. The curse of Allah be on the liar. Aameen. Aameen. Aameen.
