September 7, 1974, stands as a
historic day in the history of Pakistan, when the National Assembly unanimously
declared Ahmadis (Qadianis) a non-Muslim minority under the Constitution of
Pakistan. This landmark decision fulfilled a long-standing demand of the Muslim
community and marked a significant milestone in safeguarding the Islamic belief
in the Finality of Prophethood.
The
distinguished leaders of the Muslim Ummah, particularly Hazrat Maulana Mufti
Mahmood (رحمہ اللہ), Hazrat Maulana
Ghulam Ghaus Hazarvi (رحمہ اللہ), and the senior
scholars and leaders of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, played a pivotal role in this
historic achievement. Their principled struggle, steadfast commitment, and
compelling arguments on the floor of Parliament helped unite the Muslim
community on a common platform.
For
Muslims, this day is remembered as a moment of great historic significance and
triumph. It serves as a lasting reminder that unity, sacrifice, courage, and
steadfastness are essential for the preservation of the belief in the Finality
of Prophethood.
