  • Mr Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen I Deem It an Honour to Be Addressing the Jalsa Salana on a Subject That Will Give a Glimpse In
    Mr Chairman, ladies and gentlemen I deem it an honour to be addressing the Jalsa Salana on a subject that will give a glimpse into the pure character of the Imam of this age. A life modelled on the example of his master the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw). The translation of the 9th verse of Sura Maidah that I recited is; ‘O ye who believe! Be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity and let not a peoples’ enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is well aware of what you do.’ The other is from sura Yasin verse 31; ‘Alas for My servants! There comes not a Messenger but they mock at him’. History bears witness that this indeed forms part of the life of every Messenger of God The Holy Prophet (saw), was known as Al Ameen by the Meccans but as soon as he made his claim, he was met with ridicule and persecution from those very same people. The Promised Messiah (as) , prior to his claim was championed as the saviour of Islam, but no sooner under Divine command had he made his claim that he too faced bitter opposition. He always displayed patience, sympathy and kindness to those who opposed him, this is the subject I must speak on today. Today we live in a world filled with hate, violence and rancour. The incidents of the Promised Messiah (as) kindness even to his opponents are a lesson for humanity.

  • Islam's Response to Extremism
    In the Words of the Caliph His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad Caliph (Spiritual Leader) of the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Islam’s Response to EXTREMISM His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad is widely acknowledged as a man of peace, who has continuously spoken out against extremism and called for a concerted effort to promote peace based on absolute justice. In this leaflet, we present just a few extracts of his statements. THE ACTIONS OF EXTREMISTS CONTRADICT THE TEACHINGS OF ISLAM “Islam’s teachings of peace prohibit all forms of extremism, to the extent, that even in a state of legitimate war, Allah has commanded that any action or punishment should remain proportionate to the crimes committed and that it is better if patience and forgiveness is manifest. Thus, all those so‐ called Muslims who are engaged in violence, injustice and brutality are inviting God’s wrath and anger to their doorstep.” (The 13th National Peace Symposium, Baitul Futuh Mosque, London, 19 March 2016) “...under no circumstances can murder ever be justified and those who seek to justify their hateful acts in the name of Islam are serving only to defame it in the worst possible way.” (Press Release in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, 14 November 2015) “In much of the world today there is a belief or perception that Islam is a religion of extremism and force... Let me say at the outset that this is entirely wrong and the reality is the complete opposite… The truth is that there are some selfish Muslims... who seek only to serve their own personal interests.
