Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa aalihi wa Sallam)


Jazak'Allah for your question. If the 'Ahmadi' became a Sunni, then what else is more deserving than turning a non-Muslim into a Muslim. Since the 'Ahmadis' do not believe in Our Master, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), to be the Final Prophet, the scholars had declared them to be misbelievers, and out of the fold of Islam.


Now to bring someone into the fold of Islam, carries great rewards, as you are making them believe, that there is only one God, and the Final Messenger is the Most Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam).


Had the 'Ahmadi' not turned into a Muslim, then although they still believe in the Qur'an al kareem, and call themselves the 'People of the Book', then the duty of executing what is correct Islam to them, would be your primary duty. The Qur'an al kareem, has stated that the Beloved Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), is The Final Messenger, when Allah the Almighty said:

'Wa lakir rasul Allahi wa khatam an nabiyyin.'

'And He is a Messenger of Allah, and a seal of the Prophets.'

This verse shows that we must all have the correct belief of knowing that the Beloved Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) is The Final Messenger.


May Allah Almighty give us all the tawfiq, to say the truth when we speak, and to hear the truth when we listen.
