Founding of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha`At Islam Lahore: Centenary Talk
www.ahmadiyya.org/cont-ahm.htm Founding of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha‘at Islam Lahore, March – May 1914 Main points from a Talk by Dr Zahid Aziz at Darus Salaam, Wembley, U.K. on 2nd March 2014 to commemorate the centenary of its establishment 1. Muslim spiritual orders founded by saints existed all over the Indian subcontinent, long before the Ahmadiyya Movement. Usually these were centred around the tomb of the saint. Three flaws had developed in previous movements and sects: a. The headship and control of the movements had passed into the hands of the descendants of the saints. These descendants were capitalising on the repute of the saint to receive homage from the public as well as donations which they used for personal ends. b. These heads of spiritual orders were revered and regarded as holy by their followers because of their descent. They took people into their discipleship and the disciples obeyed them unquestioningly, looking upon them as the gateway to God. c. Leaders of various sects denounced other sects as unbelievers. 2. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad set up a system of running the Ahmadiyya movement after him which avoided these pitfalls. 3. Two and a half years before his death he published his Will in December 1905 and laid down how the movement would be run after him. a. Instead of one spiritual leader who would have all members as his personal disciples, he wrote that after him any forty Ahmadis could choose a venerable person from among them as being fit and suitable to bring newcomers into the Movement by taking bai’at from them in the name of Hazrat Mirza sahib. -

The Role of Islamic Organisations in the Growth of Islam in Bayelsa State, 1996-2015
International Journal of Humanitatis Theoreticus. Vol. 3. (Issue: 1); May, 2020 The Role of Islamic Organisations in the Growth of Islam in Bayelsa State, 1996-2015. By Professor T. A. Varvar Department of History GSM: 07030559633. S. I. Ugbegili, PhD Nathaniel B. Gimba Luka Department of History, Benue State Department of History, Adamawa State University, Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria. University, Mubi Adamawa State, Nigeria. E-mail: [email protected]. E-mail: [email protected] GSM: 08035098734. GSM: 08037462359. Abstract This paper examines the role of Islamic organisations in the growth of Islam in Bayelsa from 1996- 2015. By this period, many indigenes of Bayelsa area had peacefully accepted Islam and made frantic efforts particularly through the establishment of Islamic organisations to ensure that the religion gained more adherents in the state. It is important to note that unlike in the Northern part of Nigeria where there was a recorded incessant religious motivated violence, Muslims in Bayelsa have enjoyed moderate harmonious relations with their Christian counterpart. The paper argues that while it is evident that there was never a time both Christians and Muslims got entangled in a religious motivated conflict in Bayelsa, the age long struggle for doctrinal dominance among the Muslims was inevitable in the area. The paper, however, discovered a growing but salient rivalry among the Izalah group in Nigeria that had snowballed into the Bayelsa state chapter. The study relies on primary evidences from interviews and also sourced information from secondary sources of data. The paper finally argues that, though ideological difference are inevitable among a group or more or among religious faithful, it should not be allowed to take a center stage else observed growth of Islam in Bayelsa could be hampered. -
Pakistan Response Towards Terrorism: a Case Study of Musharraf Regime
PAKISTAN RESPONSE TOWARDS TERRORISM: A CASE STUDY OF MUSHARRAF REGIME By: SHABANA FAYYAZ A thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham May 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The ranging course of terrorism banishing peace and security prospects of today’s Pakistan is seen as a domestic effluent of its own flawed policies, bad governance, and lack of social justice and rule of law in society and widening gulf of trust between the rulers and the ruled. The study focused on policies and performance of the Musharraf government since assuming the mantle of front ranking ally of the United States in its so called ‘war on terror’. The causes of reversal of pre nine-eleven position on Afghanistan and support of its Taliban’s rulers are examined in the light of the geo-strategic compulsions of that crucial time and the structural weakness of military rule that needed external props for legitimacy. The flaws of the response to the terrorist challenges are traced to its total dependence on the hard option to the total neglect of the human factor from which the thesis develops its argument for a holistic approach to security in which the people occupy a central position. -

Foundations of Modern Muslim Education in Nigeria: Reflections on the Legacies of a Muslim Leader
World Journal of Islamic History and Civilization, 4 (3): 75-81, 2014 ISSN 2225-0883 © IDOSI Publications, 2014 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.wjihc.2014.4.3.431 Foundations of Modern Muslim Education in Nigeria: Reflections on the Legacies of a Muslim Leader Ismail A. Musa Department of Arts and Social Sciences Education University of Lagos Akoka-Lagos Nigeria Abstract: The essence of man’s progress is hinged on the resources of his history which he utilises in combating diverse challenges. The search for credible strategies for addressing existing threats to Muslim education in Nigeria requires revisiting the historical milieu and significant factors that produced legacies in Muslim education in the 20th century. This critical review should assist in determining the extent of the relevance of such legacies and their application within the contemporary education framework. This paper surveys the history of Nigerian Muslims’ acquisition of Western education focusing on the crucial roles of Jibril Martin (1888-1959) especially the various dimensions of his prioritisation of Muslim education. The paper explores the possibilities of a re-enactment of the precedent interventions against the backdrop of the current problems of disequilibrium in the range of content offered to Muslims, the commercialisation of Muslim education and the concomitant limited access to a standard-based Islamic education. Key words: Muslim Education Education in Nigeria Modern Education Muslim Leaders Jibril Martin INTRODUCTION characteristics and functions of creatures in existence [1]. The divine command of reading and engaging in Education in its broadest conception incorporates educational activities heralded the prophethood of all the efforts made by society to accomplish desirable Mu ammad as clearly enunciated in the first six verses of objectives at personal and social levels. -

The Islamic Review- December ;January 1987 the ISLAMIC REVIEW
Ihe ISLAMIC REVIEW FEBRUARY /MARCH 1987 PRICE: $2.25 www.alahmadiyya.org Published by the Ahmadiyya Anjuman lshaat Islam, Lahore, Inc., 36911 Walnut Street, Newark, CA 94560, U.S.A. PROMISED MESSIAH SPEAKS Life After Death by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Founder of the Ahmadiyyah Movement in Islam ((And We have made man's actions to cling to his neck, and We shall bring forth to him on the day of Resurrection a book which he will find wide open.... " (17:13) What is the teaching of the Qur' -an as to the state of man in his life after death, is the next question which offers itself for solution. Representaton by Images The state after death is not altogether a new state; it is in fact a complete representation, a full image of our spiritual state in the present life. Here the good or bad conditions of the deeds or beliefs of a man are latent within him and their poison or panacea casts its influence upon him secretly, but in the life to come they shall become manifest and clear as daylight. An idea of it, although a very imperfect one, may be had from the manner in which a person sees in a dream the embodiment of whatever is predominent in his temperament. When he is due for an attack of fever, he may see in a dream flames of burning fire, whereas he may find himself in floods of water when he is about to catch cold. When the body is prepared for a particular disease, a dream may often disclose the embodiment of the conditions giving rise to it.
