Qadiani Problem is a book written by Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi. It was first published in 1953. The term "Qadiani" is a derogatory term which refers to members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.[1]

The book deals with some of the interpretations of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. It discusses the finality of prophethood, the prophethood of Ahmad, and its consequences in Muslim society. It also mentions the status of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and its political plans.
In one of the appendices of the book, a discussion between Allama Iqbal and Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru is reproduced, in which Allama Iqbal has expressed his views regarding followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and have rationalized his view that followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad be given a status of a different religious community in India.
Within the mainstream Muslim community, the book is seen as containing nothing which could be labelled as inciting hatred or causing violence. To them the book is a history of the Ahmadis, and a critique of the views of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani. To adherents of Ahmadiyya, however, sees the book as inciting hatred against community members.
Maududi was given a death sentence by a military court under martial law for writing this book and preaching hatred and persecution of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Members in Pakistan.[2] This sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. He was later pardoned, without any request from himself.[3]
The Allah always sent / chosen prophets from the cities not from the villages. In Quran Allah says about the villigers living around meca that mostly they accepted islam from their lips and have nothing inside their heart. except a little numbers. when ever Allah sent a prophet the super power / occupying force is always against that prophet but in the case of Mirza ghulam ahmad things are entirely different. wordly greed has forced people to create new groups in religion but with Allahs might they destroy both their wordly life and life for ever after death.
