THEMATISCHERessource Titel/Title: Urdu books and pamphlets in the Ahmadiyya Mosque, Berlin Jahr/Year: 2021 Erstellt von/ Razak Khan Compiled by: Quellen/ Landesarchiv Berlin Sources: Beschreibung The list contains the Urdu books and pamphlets found in the library and /Description: storage room of the historic Ahmadiyya mosque, Berlin, during spring of 2019. There exist various writings on the history of the mosque and its famous converts to Islam. However, these writings rely on German sources without considering the rich vernacular Urdu archives of books published and circulated by South Asian Ahmadis. Apart from the mosque’s own German journal Muslimsche Revue started in 1929, there are also copies of Islamic Review published in English from London and Review of Religions started by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in 1902. The English magazine was printed in Lahore and also published from Qadian, Punjab, alongside an Urdu edition. Many of these publications in Urdu were also sent to the Mosque in Berlin. Thus, connection across national and language boundaries appears an essential aspect of these Urdu books and pamphlets. While attention has been paid to German archives, this list documents and highlights the value of Urdu materials found in the mosque collection. Although in vernacular language, these writings represent a global History of Ahmadiyya Islam between South Asia, Africa and Europe. A study of these pamphlet titles and contents reveals the archives of Annual reports published by Ahmadiyya Anjuman-e-Isha’at-e-Islam, Lahore documenting the association's activities. There is also an Urdu translation of the landmark Ahmadiyya Are Muslims. The Verdict of the Supreme Court of South Africa, 9.8.1986. Srinagar Kashmir: Nagina Printing Press, 1986. This judgment was widely discussed and popularized through the Urdu print culture in Lahore, Delhi, Bombay, Kashmir, Dushanbe, Newark, and California. Many of the texts listed here are about clarifying misconceptions about Ahmadiyya, introducing Ghulam Ahmad and other beliefs and writings by Ahmadiyya missionaries including Muhammad Ali. Others include texts and publications of various missions including the Berlin mosque. There is also a translation of writings of converts to Ahmadi Islam. The connecting thread in these publications is not just religion, theological and sectarian concerns but also interaction, circulation and exchange of information among various Ahmadi missions globally. Thus, a small vernacular Urdu archive provides insights into the global intellectual history of Ahmadiyya Islam in Berlin mosque library.
