  • 35 Ahmadiyya
    Malaysian Journal of International Relations, Volume 6, 2018, 35-46 ISSN 2289-5043 (Print); ISSN 2600-8181 (Online) AHMADIYYA: GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF A PERSECUTED COMMUNITY Abdul Rashid Moten ABSTRACT Ahmadiyya, a group, founded in 19th century India, has suffered fierce persecution in various parts of the Muslim world where governments have declared them to be non-Muslims. Despite opposition from mainstream Muslims, the movement continued its proselytising efforts and currently boasts millions of followers worldwide. Based on the documentary sources and other scholarly writings, this paper judges the claims made by the movement's founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, analyses the consequences of the claims, and examines their proselytizing strategies. This paper found that the claims made by Mirza were not in accordance with the belief of mainstream Muslims, which led to their persecution. The reasons for their success in recruiting millions of members worldwide is to be found in their philanthropic activities, avoidance of violence and pursuit of peace inherent in their doctrine of jihad, exerting in the way of God, not by the sword but by the pen. Keywords: Ahmadiyya, jihad, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Pakistan, philanthropy INTRODUCTION The Qur’an categorically mentions that Muhammad is the last in the line of the Prophets and that no prophet will follow him. Yet, there arose several individuals who claimed prophethood in Islam. Among the first to claim Prophecy was Musailama al-Kazzab, followed by many others including Mirza Hussein Ali Nuri who took the name Bahaullah (glory of God) and formed a new religion, the Bahai faith. Many false prophets continued to raise their heads occasionally but failed to make much impact until the ascendance of the non-Muslim intellectual, economic and political forces particularly in the 19th century A.D.

  • “Made New in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-14; John 1:10-18
    A communion meditation delivered by the Rev. Timothy C. Ahrens, senior minister at the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, Columbus, Ohio, January 2, 2011, Christmas 2, dedicated to all the women, men and children of Egypt, especially the 21 murdered and the 97 injured early January 1 outside the Al-Qiddissine (The Saints) Church, to all the children of Abraham who live with God‟s grace, truth and light, and always to the glory of God! “Made New in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-14; John 1:10-18 Yesterday, the year opened in Alexandria, Egypt, with a suicide bomber attacking Christians leaving a midnight mass. Twenty-one people were blown apart and 97 sustained injuries. Those killed and those injured with mostly Christians. But Muslims, out celebrating New Year’s in this mostly Muslim neighborhood, were also killed. I saw the Church of All Saints several months ago while traveling with my friend Mohammed. We didn’t enter it. I spoke with him yesterday. He asked for prayers for all of Egypt. In an email from my friend Helbees Zahar in Cairo received early this morning, Helbees writes: Dear Tim, Thank you so much for your nice heart. My family are safe and I am well, don't worry. All this was heart breaking to everybody not only the ones who had lost family members or friends. Please keep praying for all Egyptians, not only Christians. Love, Helbees ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ May the words of my mouth and the meditations of each one of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O God, our strength and our salvation.

  • MA Field Work Report: Israel-Palestinian Conflict Shazia Noor During My Studies in the MA in Diplomacy Programme, I Had Found Th
    MA Field Work Report: Israel-Palestinian Conflict Shazia Noor During my studies in the MA in Diplomacy programme, I had found that my key interest were in the areas of crisis management, approaches to negotiation, international law and international organizations, which also happened to be the core element of my dissertation topic. Having been exposed to the peace processes, I was keen to undertake further research into to the under-workings of negotiation and dialogue to understand the crucial preliminary stages for the purpose of developing a template for future dialogue between inner-religious conflicts. The focus of my dissertation is the politics of Islam in Pakistan and the State-sanctioned discrimination against minorities, in particular, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. While the research largely looks at Pakistan’s domestic policies and international law, the detailed analysis covers the escalation in persecution not only in Pakistan but also in other parts of the Muslim world and suggests that Islamization of the law and culture is a transnational threat to human ‘Mahmood Mosque’ in Kababir, Haifa, Israel rights. It is for this reason I The only Mosque of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in the Middle East. decided that Israel was ideal for my field research to understand the plight of the Ahmadiyya sect in the Muslim world. An outsider may be oblivious to the fact that the only Ahmadi Muslim Mosque, in all of the Middle East or Arab world, is located in Haifa, Israel, not by choice, but by the continued discrimination by the Islamists in their attempts to eradicate the community from the Islamic world and elsewhere around the world.

  • HUZOOR's TOUR of GERMANY & BELGIUM 2018 Part 2 a Personal
    HUZOOR’S TOUR OF GERMANY & BELGIUM 2018 Part 2 A Personal Account By Abid Khan 1 Introduction to Part 2 In part 1 of this diary, I wrote about the first week of Huzoor’s tour of Germany in September 2018. In this part, I write about the final few days of Huzoor’s visit to Germany and then about his visit to Belgium, where Huzoor also graced the Jalsa Salana with his presence. During the final days of the tour, Huzoor met with many guests, dignitaries, media, as well as hundreds of Ahmadis. Many meetings were extremely emotional and faith inspiring. I consider a great blessing to have attended and to be able to recount some details in the coming pages. A healing hand One day, during the Germany Jalsa, I heard Mansoor (Huzoor’s grandson) had not been feeling well. When I saw him, later in the day, I asked him how he was. In response, Mansoor said: “I wasn’t feeling well at night and in the morning. I could not sleep at all until around Fajr time because I had a splitting headache. However, after Fajr, Huzoor came to see me and he gave me a glass of milk mixed with honey and also gave me paracetamol. After that, I was finally able to sleep and when I woke up I felt better.” 2 It was a beautiful and rare insight into how Huzoor continues to care for his family and loved ones and fulfils his familial duties despite being so busy. In fact, anyone who has seen Huzoor from close range will testify to the fact that the way Huzoor cares and loves for his family is an example for all mankind.

  • The Jewish Nakba
    For the forgotten victims of Hate at Israel’s Birth, a Memorial The Jewish Nakba By Jerry Klinger As the missiles of terror and death to the Jews crashed randomly into Israel without regard or concern for civilian life, a unique memorial, the first ever in the world and certainly Israel, was erected prominently sited on Jerusalem’s Haas Promenade. It is a Memorial messaged that very few in the non-Jewish world, especially the Muslim world, know about. Unfortunately, too many in the Jewish world know little about it too. The Memorial is formally titled the Departure and Expulsion Memorial. The title follows the theme of a long-overdue Knesset Law passed in 2014. The law requires the teaching of what happened to the Jews from Arab lands and Iran with the birth of Israel. In 1948, there were over 1,000,000 Jews living in Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen/Aden, and Iran. Today, in all of the Arab world and Iran, less than 10,000 remain. Jews had lived in these lands for over two thousand years. With the birth of modern Israel, Jews in Arab lands and Iran were forced, compelled, threatened, “encouraged” to leave, too frequently on pain of death. They had to abandon their homes, property, businesses, and the resting places of their families of generations and generations. They were never given the option of return, or compensation. The Jews were ethnically cleansed from Arab lands and Iran. Desperate Jewish refugees were not and are not wanted by the world.
