Mahzarnama

Submission by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at to the National Assembly of Pakistan, regarding its basic tenets.

Mahzarnama the Memorandum is an important historical document which was presented by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at in 1974, to the Special Committee of the National Assembly of Pakistan, comprising the entire house. The purpose of this document was to establish that the members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at are Muslims and to explain its basic tenets, as well as refute the baseless allegations levelled against it. It was declared at the outset that, according to Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, no Assembly or court in this world had any right to determine, or specify, the religion of any individual or a community; because this can be done only by God who knows the innermost thoughts of the our hearts.
