Entry: "Mirza Ghulam Ahmad" is wrongly added on this page. For Muslims he is False Prophet. he is neither Prophet of Muslims nor Mujaddid.
If we see the list of Mujaddid on this page. There is no name of any Prophet. Because Mujaddid's are not Prophets.
Definition of Mujaddid:
Mujaddid means the renovator, the one who gives something a new form; and someone who strengthens something by renovating it.

I have finally found the article which states the position of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad more clear. In this article it is stated, belief of Ahmadiyya Community that he is Ahmadiyaa community's promised messiah and mahdi.
Here are details which are on Wiki Article: Saadyasir (talk) 11:07, 23 May 2016 (UTC) The distinguishing feature of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is their belief in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, as prophesied by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmadiyya

Saadyasir (talk) 11:07, 23 May 2016 (UTC) The Second Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan (Urdu: آئین پاکستان میں دوسری ترمیم) became a part of the Constitution of Pakistan on September 7, 1974.

"Mirza Ghulam Ahmad" is an odd entry to the page. It needs to be removed.
For the briefing,
Muslims are divided in to Sunni, Shia, Salafi & Modernists.
Mujaddid is a concept predominantly used by the the majority Sunni Muslims - 90% for the population (reference in link below), the idea to revive the religion.
Mujaddid has varying interpretations among Shia Muslims - 9.5% of the population (reference in link below), one among the many ideas is of 12 Imams being the Mujaddid.
Modernists and Salafi acknowledge the concept of Mujaddid as traditionally understood by the Sunni school.
The Ahmadiya Muslims, the followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad do not fall into the Muslim circles, just like the Nation of Islam, the Yazidi, the Bahai and Druze.
For proof, check the following link and refer to page number 32, 33, 34 and 35. Among the various schools and sects that are considered to be Muslims, there is no mention of Ahmadiya community (Lahori or Qadiyani) among the divisions of Muslims.
http://themuslim500.com/downloads/TheMuslim500-2017-lowres.pdf
Putting together Sunni & Shia population that is about 99.5 % of the Muslims do not accept Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in any way to be a Muslim, let alone a mujaddid.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is the odd-one out, it is analogous to include the name of Joshua Abraham Norton among the names of emperors or monarchs that ruled USA. The continuation of this entry of 'Mirza Ghulam Ahmad' is an error that needs urgent rectification from the Wikipedia community to keep its standards dependable for knowledge seekers around world.

Two points for removal of "Mirza Ghulam Ahmad" entry from the list of Mujjadid.
For the briefing,
1. It is one thing for the scholarly circles to recognize anyone a Mujaddid, compare that to someone making a claim for himself to be a Mujaddid. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is from the latter (reference in link below).
Ref:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_of_Mirza_Ghulam_Ahmad
2. Constitution of Pakistan amendment - where Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is classifed a non-Muslim and his followers also non-Muslims.
Ref:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_Constitution_of_Pakistan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinance_XX
The references used to support this claim within the article are 1. Oriental Observations by Mr.Rippin, Andrew & 2. Ahmadiyya Muslim website (AlIslam.org) - both are categorically non-Muslim sources.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad made claims upon himself of the following (references in below link)
One which clearly puts him off the Traditional Muslim sphere is the claim of "The second advent of Muhammad", this is an alien belief to Traditional Muslims - Muslims do not believe in second advent of Muhammad.
Refer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_of_Mirza_Ghulam_Ahmad
Links supporting the claim that Ahmadiyya & Mirza Ghulam Ahmad are non-Muslims, and why Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is an odd-entry to the list
1. http://www.dawn.com/news/1057427
2. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/raza-habib-raja/ahmadiyya-muslims_b_8099324.html
3. http://www.irshad.org/qadianism/differ.php
This needs to be brought to urgent attention of the respectable editors on wikipedia for speedy removal of the entry of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad from the list.

Request: Remove 'Mirza Ghulam Ahmad' name from the list of Mujaddid.
As per wikipedia.org page, [1], in Demographics section, I would like to highlight following 3 points
1. Most independent sources variously estimate the (Ahmadiyya) population to be at least 10 to 20 million worldwide
2. (Admadiyya) Representing around 1% of the world's Muslim population
3. Country with the largest Ahmadiyya population is Pakistan, with an estimated 4 million Ahmadi
So, in a nut shell Ahmadiyaa only represent 1% of the worlds Muslim population with largest population lives in Pakistan. But as per Pakistan's Constitution (Second Amendment) Act, 1974, Ahmadiyaa are not Muslims. [2] [3]
Based on above mentioned facts along with reliable sources, it is evident that Ahmadiyaa sect are not even considered as Muslims by 99% Majority and rather calling 'Mirza Ghulam Ahmad' (the founder of Admadiyaa sect) as Mujaddid which is the one of the highest status of religious scholars among Muslims is not at all justified.
There can be a difference of opinion on other names but adding a non-muslims is not at all acceptable. So kindly remove 'Mirza Ghulam Ahmad' name from the list of Mujaddid. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.68.217.94 (talk • contribs)
Not done: You haven't provided any sources that could counteract the sources in the article as it stands. I believe this would be a contentious change to the article and therefore I'm rejecting it on this basis. Although Pakistan may not consider them to be Muslims, Wikipedia doesn't abide by the Pakistan constitution and we keep to a neutral point of view. You may discuss these changes on the talk page with other editors. All the best, st170e 11:44, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Request: Remove 'Mirza Ghulam Ahmad' name from the list of Mujaddid.
Thankyou for the quick reply. This is in continuation of my previous request.
As it is mentioned in the Mujaddid article itself that
″Mujaddid tend to come from the most prominent Islamic scholars of the time (century)″
and
″there is often a popular consensus″.
Both of these criterias doesn't fit on Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as I explained in my previous comment. First of all Ahmadiyya only represent a very small percentage i.e. only 1%, so how could he become the most prominent Islamic scholars of the time.
Secondly, talking about concensus, the article or references in wikipedia doesnot mentioned any thing on this point. On the contrary, Ahmadiyya are not even considered to be part of Muslim community where they are in majority (Pakistan) and are declared non-muslims. And not to mention about rest of the world as 90% of the Muslim community dont even know about Ahmadiyya that they even exist.
I will be happy for you to leave the name of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in the list if there is any Single reference from Any Muslim community (Shia, Sunni, Naqshbandi, Barelwi, Deobandi, Ahle hadith, Salafi, and so on), apart from Ahmadiyya own created websites, that confirm that Ahmadiyya is part of Muslim community.
Simply put, 99% of Muslims either dont know about Ahmadiyya OR unanimously agreed that they are not Muslims. So for adding a name in the Mujaddid list there should be a criteria followed if you are asking for references while removing the name from the list. (I will be surprised if there is no such criteria).
My little effort to promote the authenticity and correctness of information.

Not done for now: Hi, thanks for your edit request. At the moment, I'd be inclined to leave it how it is. I would advise you to discuss this with other editors on the talk page first. If this does not prove successful (i.e. there are no replies) then I will revisit this and implement the edit you have suggested. I do appreciate your point of view but I think the edit may be contentious; discuss it with other editors first before reimplementing the edit request. Kind regards and all the best, st170e 14:27, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- This has already been extensively and repeatedly discussed. Ahmadiyya Muslims regard Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a Mujaddid. It's not up to Wikipedia to declare that they are wrong. PepperBeast (talk) 19:22, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

- See Wikipedia:Canvassing. As for the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, they have absolutely no authority or control over Wikipedia content, and are not relevant to this matter. Any similar requests received directly from them will also be similarly rejected. Contact them if you want to, but it will not change Wikipedia policies. Be very careful of the Wikipedia:No legal threats policy, as this latest threat is getting very close to the line. Murph9000 (talk) 12:13, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Murph9000: Agree that Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has no authority and control over wikipedia content. And reference of Pakistan_Telecommunication_Authority was not a threat. Am trying to save Wikipedia for being blocked in the region by Pakistan_Telecommunication_Authority (and others authorities) on account of Blasphemy.

- Correct Wikipedia is not censored and that is a good thing about wikipedia. But does that means that Wikipedia will have content that is incorrect. If someone who is seeking information about mujaddid will get the incorrect list about it. I think wikipedia should be kept un-censored, open and should provide correct information. As I already have mentioned if you have doubts then please consult any Sunni, Muslim for authenticity that Mirza Ghulam Ahmed is Ahmadi and is Non-Muslim. Again please correct the contents of article. Thanks Msjkus (talk) 05:36, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
Please stop making disruptive edits. Continuing to just repeat the same request without any significant new argument or evidence is generally considered to be disruptive. It is the responsibility of the person wanting a change to be made to provide appropriate evidence to support that change (and, in this case, the evidence would need to be quite compelling), so we will not be consulting anyone to find evidence to support your case. We need convincing, good, independent, and neutral reliable sources for a controversial change to sourced content.
- If you are going to present a properly sourced case for change, please ensure that it does not unnecessarily repeat any rejected arguments made on this talk page over the extensive history of this issue (the archives go back to 2006 on this). Sources which only demonstrate that there is opposition to this may not be sufficient to have the content removed, but might generate additional content to note any controversy or opposition to the content. If such a case is made, please be aware that it will come under heavy scrutiny due to the history of this article, and may take weeks or even months to establish a change in consensus (and the article content will not be changed until that process is complete). Please either work offline, or use your personal sandbox if you are going to work on this, to avoid disrupting this talk page; then you can present your completed case for change here.
- This change will not be made without a valid case being made, scrutinised, and accepted by community consensus. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

Wrong person in List
Why is Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani on this list, he is no Mujaddid read the conditions that one must fulfill to be a Mujaddid of the century. It is not necessary that a Mujaddid be from the Ahle-Bayt as claimed by the Shias and other sects. It is not necessary that a Mujaddid be a Mujtahid. What is absolutely necessary is that he be a Sunni with correct beliefs according to the Ahle-Sunnah wa Jamah. He be profound Aalim of Deen. He be a Master and embodiment of most of the Sciences of Knowledge. He be an outstanding Scholar of his time. His services for the Deen be purely for the pleasure of Allah and His Rasool and not for greed of wealth and other worldly gain. He be fearless of opposition and rulers of his time. He will not act or give verdicts to please any person besides Allah and His Rasool. He will not fear speaking or advocating Truth in all circumstances. He will not use Religion to gain worldly fame. He will be a very pious and Allah fearing person. He will perfect mixture of the Shari'ah and Tari'qah. He will not tolerate any opposition to the Shari'ah. And according to 'Allama Imam Isma'il Haqqee, it is necessary for a Mujaddid that both in the last portion of the century he was born in and the beginning of the century he passes away in, he be famous and be a fountain and focal authority of religion for the Ulama of his time. It is also necessary for a Mujaddid that the Scholars (Ulama) of his time observe, benefit and be convinced of his impeccable lifestyle and profound knowledge and hence acknowledge and announce in public that he is a Mujaddid. Therefore it is important that a Mujaddid be a perfect embodiment and Alim of both the external (Shari'ah) and internal (Spiritual) sciences of Knowledge promoting the protecting the Sunnah and fighting and destroying Bid'ah. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.43.151.188 (talk) 18:02, 14 July 2017 (UTC) :

Abul 'Ala Maududi Abul A'la Maududi is claimed by many to be a fourteenth century Mujaddid. Please add him to the list under "Fourteenth Century (November 21, 1979)".

As other users have stated Mirza Ghulams shouldn't be here as he represents a very small form of Islam which claims he is a prophet and not a mujaddid. First of all the last source.[1] shouldn't be there as it links to a website that has nothing to do with Mirza Ghulam being a mujadid. I couldn't say anything about the other source as I don't have the book. However I think someone should verify it.
On Mirza Ghulams real wiki page I looked at the sources on the claim that he is a mujadid and saw this source which states[2] that he claims to be a mujadid. The problem is that all these people on this list never claimed to be a mujadid. A mujadid[3], as stated in this article, is something historians determine who is after they die.
Also, this list is for Sunni scholars as term mujaddid is a Sunni term and the Shias have a similar concept which is their 12 imams. This is why there are no Shia scholars as this list as this is a Sunni concept. Mirza Ghulam Ahmed being here is factually wrong because he isn't Sunni.
Conclusion: I personally mean it should be deleted and that the claim of him being a mujadid should be on his main wiki page. However, I have seen that another admin has denied editing this entry. If these reasons cannot convince an admin, please change it to the following.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908) (Self-proclaimed and heavily disputed)
I think I have explained very thoroughly why this edit is needed at least. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamza.abd (talk • contribs)
- I think you failed to notice that the section is titled "List of claimants and POTENTIAL Mujaddids". Mirza Gulam Ahmad claims to be a mujaddid therefore fits the description. Just because he is not considered one by Sunni Islam does not mean he should be removed from the list or labeled as "self proclaimed and heavily disputed". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamzahn (talk • contribs)

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
@Pepperbeast: objects to my edits wherein I state "Note: Founder of the Ahmadiyya sect, which some scholars consider non-Muslims and heretical due to the belief in a Prophet after Muhammad." and cite "Ahmadis" from Oxford Islamic studies online and The Ahmadiyyah Movement by Yohanan Friedmann from Oxford Bibliographies. My statements are supported by reliable sources. My edit was reverted for the following reason: "Revert anti-Ahmadiyya POV-pushing by Batreeq". WP:RNPOV states: "Some adherents of a religion might object to a critical historical treatment of their own faith because in their view such analysis discriminates against their religious beliefs. Their point of view can be mentioned if it can be documented by relevant, reliable sources, yet note that there is no contradiction." I believe the solution to this is to add a footnote which is less drastic in the list format. Do you agree? – Batreeq (Talk) (Contribs) 02:50, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- No, I don't agree. The controversy surrounding Ahmadiyya Islam and the persecution of Admadis is discussed in some detail over at the Ahmadiyya page. It is tangential to the subject of *this* page. PepperBeast (talk) 03:50, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hmm, well there are those that don't recognize his sect as being Muslim (as found in the above citations). Therefore, per WP:NPOV, I believe that it is crucial for readers to be informed of that and the aforementioned viewpoint not be censored. Looking from the sheer number of above discussions pertaining to this, I believe this is a positive change as it does not violate any policies to my knowledge. – Batreeq (Talk) (Contribs) 02:16, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

- @Pepperbeast: Wikipedia:Religion is not a policy, rather, it is a failed proposal. The top of the page reads "This is a failed proposal." On the contrary, I have cited valid policies to back up my edits, including:
- The fact that it is cited by three reliable sources. WP:BALANCE states: "Neutrality assigns weight to viewpoints in proportion to their prominence. However, when reputable sources contradict one another and are relatively equal in prominence, describe both points of view and work for balance. This involves describing the opposing views clearly, drawing on secondary or tertiary sources that describe the disagreement from a disinterested viewpoint."
- Wikipedia is not censored: "Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive—even exceedingly so. Attempting to ensure that articles and images will be acceptable to all readers, or will adhere to general social or religious norms, is incompatible with the purposes of an encyclopedia."
- WP:RNPOV: "Some adherents of a religion might object to a critical historical treatment of their own faith because in their view such analysis discriminates against their religious beliefs. Their point of view can be mentioned if it can be documented by relevant, reliable sources, yet note that there is no contradiction."
- I am not pushing any point of view. I am simply summarizing reliable sources that state that the sect he founded is rejected due to a specific belief. My edits do not violate any policies to my knowledge. – Batreeq (Talk) (Contribs) 22:27, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
- If you want to make those arguments, do it over at Ahmadiyya. We don't re-hash whether Catholics think Mormons are Christians or the fact that some people want to call Islam a political ideology rather than a religion every time we mention a religious figure. And we're not using this page to re-hash arguments about which Muslims are "real" Muslims. And as far as Wikipedia is concerned, it's a done deal [[4]]. Stop it. PepperBeast (talk) 22:36, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Unlisted claimed Mujaddids and some suggestions for the article
Muhammad al-Qahtani, the proclaimed Mahdi of the grand mosque seizure. The grand mosque seizure occurred on the first day of the 1400th Islamic year, of which scholars such as Bernard Haykel, Thomas Hegghammer, and Stephane Lacroix cite as a probable deliberate attempt to link him with the tradition. Source: "Rejectionist Islamism in Saudi Arabia: The Story of Juhayman Al-ʿutaybi Revisited (https://doi.org/10.1017/S0020743807002553)
Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab has been called a mujaddid by seemingly all of his followers. Maryam Jameelah wrote in "Islam in Theory and Practice", stated "Shaikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab proved himself a Mujaddid of the first rank and a worthy successor of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ibn Taimiya." This was quoted by Jamal al Din M. Zarabozo in "The Life, Teachings, and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahaab", published by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's very own Ministry of Islamic Affairs. Simon Ross Valentine writes "A small number of tribesmen accepted him as Sheikh-ul-Islam and mujaddid, leader of Islam and a renewer of the faith" in "Force and Fanaticism Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia and Beyond". Abdulaziz bin Baz the former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, held this position as well as Shiraz Maher writes "The former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, 'Abd al-'Aziz bin Baz, described Wahhab as a mujaddid (reviver of the faith)" (Salafi-jihadism: The History of an Idea).
Abdulaziz bin Baz and Nasiruddin al Albani (the famous hadith specialist). Abdul Malik Mujahid, the owner of Dar us Salam publications wrote "There is no doubt that Sheikh Ibn Baz was the mujaddid of his age. I once asked Maulana Safi-ur-Rehman Mubarakpuri, the compiler of The Sealed Nectar, who he considered the mujaddid of the century. He replied that there could be more than one mujaddid in every century. He further said that there were two mujaddids in the century we were talking about - Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz and Allama Nasiruddin Al-Bani, the late Albanian scholar." ("Golden Stories of Accepted Prayers", Dar us Salam publications). Abdulaziz bin Baz himself declared Nasiruddin al Albani as the mujaddid of this age https://www.alalbani.info/alalbany_eng_038.php
Abdullah Azzam, Thomas Hegghammer writes in "The Caravan: Abdallah Azzam and the Rise of Global Jihad", "Some have even considered Azzam a mujaddid - renewer - a highly prestigious epithet in the Islamic tradition reserved for the person in a given century who has done the most to revive Islam."
Osama bin Laden: Gabriel Weimann writes "The severe conflict within the Saudi jihadist groups led to the online production of the Saudi scholar Abu Jandal al Azdi's 460 page book, Osama bin Laden: Mujaddid al-zaman wa-qahir al-Amrikan (Osama bin Laden: The reformer of our times and defeater of the Americans). The book attempted to raise bin Laden to a new level of a major reformer or reviver, a status bestowed on only a select few scholars." (Terrorism in Cyberspace: The Next Generation). This book was republished on the foremost Salafi-Jihadi library Minbar at Tawheed (https://www.ilmway.com/site/maqdis/MS_1632.html)
As a suggestion, perhaps the article should be divided into Sunni claimants, Shia claimants, and Other sect claimants (such as the controversial Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and other Islam-inspired traditions like Yezidi, Druze, Bahai, Nation of Islam, etc), similar to how List of messiah claimants is split into Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. On the issue of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, I think linking to [[Ahmadiyya and other faiths#Other Muslims] is probable more relevant than the persecution of Ahmadis page, because the relevant topic is not political actions by Muslims against Ahmadis but theological beliefs of Muslims.
It should probably also be noted in the article that contrary to a "great man"-ish reading of the hadith, a number of mainstream orthodox Muslim scholars, such as al Dhahabi, ibn Kathir, and ibn Hajar write that the word "someone" can be plural, indicating that a group of people can function as a mujaddid. These opinions can be read (along with agreeing views from less mainstream scholars) at https://islamqa.info/en/answers/153535/the-hadith-at-the-beginning-of-every-century-allah-will-send-to-this-ummah-someone-who-will-renew-its-religious-understanding
Information on the Shia understanding of mujaddid, as well as the hadith in their own source should be stated, as Abu Dawud is a Sunni book. I myself am not really certain if Shias have such a hadith, or if some Shias have merely "Shi'ified" the Sunni practice of ascribing great men to a 100 year timetable without a basis in their own tradition.
I find it likely that as well Ahmad bin Hanbal, Muhammad al Fatih, a number of Ottoman/Mughal leaders, Ismail I of Safawid Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, Sayyid Qutb, Muhammad Ismail Bukhari, Hassan al Banna, ibn Khaldun, have also been heralded as mujaddids, but sources will need to be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:101B:CA61:28BD:1777:CA40:6031 (talk) 17:29, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Mirza Ghulam of Qadian
He was born on 1835 so he doesn't belong to the last century. --Kapokbirdnotflying (talk) 14:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Kapokbirdnotflying: Yes he does. The last century (fourteenth) began in 1882 and ended in 1979. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be the Mujaddid precisely in 1882. Moreover, the source I provided specifically states that he claimed to be the Mujaddid "on the eve of the fourteenth century A.H." which started in November 1882, something which is confirmed by Ahmadiyya sources as well. I think the confusion may stem from the translation of the hadith as "end of every hundred years" whereas the Arabic ra's kulli miy'ati sanatin doesn't neccessarily mean "end" but simply the 'turn (literally "head") of every century' which can encompass a period comprising the final years of one century and the incipient years of another. As for Dr Isar, I didn't add that, it was just carried through within the revert. I agree it needs a source and have therefore left it out. -- Sirius86 19:36, 06 October 2016 (UTC)

Controversial messianic movement founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in Qadian, Punjab (British-controlled India), in 1889. Founder claimed to be a "nonlegislating" prophet (thus not in opposition to the mainstream belief in the finality of Muhammad 's "legislative" prophecy) with a divine mandate for the revival and renewal of Islam ... Rejected by the majority of Muslims as heretical since it believes in ongoing prophethood after the death of Muhammad.

Dear Admin, I want to make an edit about Imam Ahmad Raza Khan R.A. He was a mujadid according to several sources and it's not fair to have his name on the list. I dont know if that's due to bias or what, i'll request you to study from an unbiased source. There are several great rulings by him which you can study to judge for yourself that indeed he was a mujadid.

Add name of great mujaddid Ahmad Raza Khan.
Ahmad Raza Khan was the mujaddid of 14 century considered by majority of scholars. It's a great disappointment for Muslims that his name was removed from the list mujaddid in this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenqadri (talk • contribs) 03:25, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Why is Mirza Ghulam on this list? 99% of muslims do not consider him or his group as part of the muslim community.
This is something accepted on both sides of the sunni/shia spectrum. Please remove him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.28.199.31 (talk) 21:47, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Mulla Sadra is shia
Hi. Mujaddid is a sunni hadith and concept. Hence why is Mulla Sadra on here?

Notes
Ibn Taymiyyah is known by a large majority of Muslims as a anthropomorphist. Therefore Muslims regard him as a blasphemer(WRONG).[1]
