And of men there are some who say, ‘Our Lord, grant us good things in this world;’ and such a one shall have no share in the Hereafter. And of them there are some who say: ‘Our Lord, grant us good in this world as well as good in the world to come, and protect us from the torment of the Fire.’ (2 [Al-Baqarah] : 201-202. Translation by Maulawi Sher Ali) Commentary by Ḥaḍrat Mirza Bashirud-Din Mahmud Ahmad, Muṣliḥ Mau‘ūd, Khalīfatul- Masīḥ II, may Allah be pleased with him: When you have completed the rites of pilgrimage in compliance with the procedure revealed by Allah, recall God Almighty as you recall the memories of your fathers and grandfathers. Arabs used to relate the accomplishments of their forefathers and recite poetry containing the stories of the bravery and generosity of their tribes in gatherings at Mina for three days after the completion of their pilgrimage. Almighty Allah directs to mention Almighty God after the rites of pilgrimage as you mention your ancestors. As a young child separated from her mother cries and wails seeking the closeness of her mother so should you mention Almighty God again and again so that His love may saturate every pore of your body. Allah is a hidden existence, His beauty does not appear before man directly, rather it appears through numerous means. If His beauty is mentioned in words and then we ponder over them then slowly His being appears before us meaningfully. When you mention Master then bring the concept of His being master into your thoughts. When you name Him Holy, then gather His Holiness in your mind, when you think about the Coverer, ponder over His Covering. When you think of His Forgiving, and then bring to your mind His forgiveness. It is imminent that eventually a complete picture of the Almighty God will take shape before you. The Promised Messiah, may peace be upon him, expresses this reality in one of his couplets: If it is not possible to see then at least let there be His mention, or let there at least be some -443۔ signs of the evidence of His existence. (Translated from Tafsīr-i-Kabīr (Urdu), Vol. 2, Pp 444) 2 The Ahmadiyya Gazette, USA August-September-October 2015 Selected Sayings of the Holy Prophet َع ْن َأ يِب ُھ َ رْيرَۃ قَا َل قَا َل َر ُسو ُل ا ہٰ يّلل َص َّل ا ہٰ ُّلل عَلَْیہي َو َس ََّل " َﻻ َ َْت َعلُوا بُ ُیوتَ ُ ُْك ُق ُبوًرا َو َﻻ َ َْت َعلُوا قَ ْ يِع بي يعی ً ا َو َصلُّوا عَ َ َّل فَيا َن َص َﻻتَ ُ ْ ُك تَْبلُ ُغين َح ْي ُث ُك ْن ُ ْت " )اوبدا داتکب واانملکس ابب زایرۃ اوبقلر( Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Do not make my grave a place of festivity but invoke blessings upon me for your blessing will reach me, wherever you may be (Abu Daud).

The Movement he started is an embodiment of the benevolent message of Islam – peace, universal brotherhood, and submission to the Will of God – in its pristine purity. Hadhrat Ahmadas proclaimed Islam as the religion of man: “The religion of the people of the right path” (98:6).The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was created under divine guidance with the objective to rejuvenate Islamic moral and spiritual values. It encourages interfaith dialogue, diligently defends Islam and tries to correct misunderstandings about Islam in the West. It advocates peace, tolerance, love and understanding among followers of different faiths. It firmly believes in and acts upon the Qur’anic teaching: “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:257). It strongly rejects violence and terrorism in any form and for any reason.

    Cultural Dakwah and Muslim Movements in the United States in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries

    JURNAL AQLAM – Journal of Islam and Plurality –Volume 5, Nomor 2, Juli – Desember 2020 CULTURAL DAKWAH AND MUSLIM MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE TWENTIETH AND TWENTY-FIRST CENTURIES Mark Woodward Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict Arizona State University [email protected] Abstract: There have been Muslims in what is now the United States since tens of thousands were brought as slaves in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Very few maintained their Muslim identities because the harsh conditions of slavery. Revitalization movements relying on Muslim symbolism emerged in the early 20th century. They were primarily concerned with the struggle against racism and oppression. The Moorish Science Temple of American and the Nation of Islam are the two most important of these movement. The haj was a transformative experience for Nation of Islam leaders Malcom X and Muhammad Ali. Realization that Islam is an inclusive faith that does not condone racism led both of them towards mainstream Sunni Islam and for Muhammad Ali to Sufi religious pluralism.1 Keywords: Nation of Islam, Moorish Science Temple, Revitalization Movement, Malcom X, Muhammad Ali Abstract: Sejarah Islam di Amerika sudah berakar sejak abad ke 18 dan awal 19, ketika belasan ribu budak dari Afrika dibawa ke wilayah yang sekarang bernama Amerika Serikat. Sangat sedikit di antara mereka yang mempertahankan identitasnya sebagai Muslim mengingat kondisi perbudakan yang sangat kejam dan tidak memungkinkan. Di awal abad 20, muncul-lah gerakan revitalisasi Islam. Utamanya, mereka berkonsentrasi pada gerakan perlawanan terhadap rasisme dan penindasan. The Moorish Science Temple of American dan the Nation of Islam adalah dua kelompok terpenting gerakan perlawanan tersebut.
