Prophethood which comes through the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and which, therefore, is glory to him.

And excellent companions are these. Chapter Al-Nisa Verse 70

The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Muslim The True Conception of Jihad Ahmadis deny and resist vehemently the view which makes it right to shed blood, to spread disorder and disloyalty, and to disrupt civil peace in the name of Islam. Ahmadis are not against Jihad. They are only against the tendency to label any kind of aggrandizement as Jihad. Among the wrongs done to the Holy Prophet is the wrong which Muslims themselves have done to him by misrepresenting the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), by holding up a wrong image of him before others.

The Difference between an Ahmadi Muslim and non-Muslim The highest Jihad is with the help of the Quran. Is it such a Jihad to which the Muslims are invited today. According to Islam, every human individual is free to believe or not to believe. He is free to follow reason. A religious war may be justified when there is interference in religion. But even when permitted, a religious war is not intended to force a people to give up their faith, nor is its purpose to desecrate or destroy places of worship, or to kill. Permission to fight is given to those against whom war is made, because they have been wronged — and Allah indeed has power to help them - Those who have been driven out from their homes unjustly only because they said, ‘Our Lord is Allah’ — And if Allah did not repel some men by means of others, there would surely have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft commemorated. And Allah will surely help one who helps Him. Allah is indeed Powerful, Mighty. Surah Al-Hajj Verse 40 -41
