Khilafat in Islam Ahmadiyya (Faith Matters #29)

20 Apr 2011

Q1 02:50 What is Khilafat and what does it mean and where it came from?

Q2 04:34 A Pakistani scholar said “there is no concept of Khilafat in Islam and its only used for Muslim head of state”? Could you please explain the concept of Khilafat in Islam? What did Holy Prophet(sa) said about Khilafat? What did The Promised Messiah(as) said about Khilafat in Ahmadiyyat?

Q3 19:00 The Promised Messih(as) used the words “Second Manifestation” of God and not Khilafat? Can you please elaborate on that in the context of Lahore Anjuman Isha’at Islam viewpoint?

Q4 30:00 You say that your Khalifa is appointed by God but in reality he is elected by human beings, isn’t this contradictory?

Q5 39:45 How does the election of Khalifa take place in Ahmadiyya Muslim community?

Q6 48:35 Each of the Khalifa-e-Rashideen were also head of state and commander-in-chief of Islamic army. Will the Ahmadi Khulafa become political leaders and chiefs of army once you gain power?

Q7 53:00 Can a woman become Khalifa and if not what is the logic behind it?
