Two of Allah’s attributes are Rab or master or owner of the worlds and Malik or the judge. This is the concept of accountability because a master or owner has the right to ask his employee to account for what he did and whether he damaged anything the master has given him.

[Series] Part Three – Attitude of the Ahmadiyya Movement towards other sects
This is the third and final part of our series on the Lahori Ahmadis’. In part two we discussed in more details what our beliefs are and we answered the most common criticisms against us.
In this final part we will be explaining the attitudes of the Ahmadiyya movement towards other sects and communities and towards Government.
This series has been taken from ‘The Ahmadiyya Doctrines’ by Maulana Muhammad Ali.
As the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha’at-i-Islam, Lahore, is carrying on its work of the defence and propagation of Islam in different countries, and its members are now met with in most of the countries where there is a Muslim population and its mission work is carried on either through such members or by establishing regular missions, and as the community and its missionaries are sometimes misrepresented and occasionally misunderstood, I have thought it necessary to add a few words to clear up our position and to explain our attitude towards other communities and sects with whom we come in contact and towards the governments under which we live.

[Video] Proof of The Holy Quran
Allah proves the teachings of the Holy Quran in many different ways. Hazrat Mirza sahib discusses a number of different ways in which the truth of the Holy Quran is proven. For example, one way is to compare the teachings of the Holy Quran with what we see in nature. We see that nature confirms what the Holy Quran says.
[Video] Allah or Priests
When faced with truth with which they disagree most people resort to saying that their elders and great men did not say these things. This is to raise them to the level of divinity. The only Being whose Commands cannot be questioned is Allah and if we say that someone else is above being questioned then you are implicitly raising them to the same status.
[Review] Introduction to Islam by Dr Zahid Aziz
The following review was published on the 22nd April 2010 by D. Brian Burghart, on the newsreview.com website.
It’s the nature of the way I do this column that it’s the things I’m most intrigued by that I spend the least time with. It’s like this: I’m most curious about the rarest of spiritual experiences, but since I generally only return to a church, temple, synagogue or mosque once, I learn the least about the experiences I’m most interested in. Since the vast majority of religious edifices are Christian, I also write the most about the doctrine I know the most about. It’s kind of a problem, really, and means I should probably rethink aspects of this column, as its third anniversary passes.
I feel that way about Islam. I know next to nothing about it, but I imagine I know far more than most of the readers of this column. For example, I attended prayers at the local mosque back in December 2007, so I have the tiniest bit of experience but even less knowledge.
That’s a long way of saying that I was quite happy to run across the little book Introduction to Islam by Zahid Aziz. It was designed to teach absolute beginners and children the basic tenets of Islam. The 66-page book took me two hours to read Read More
[Book] Introduction to Islam in French
The project to translate literature into French has started and we proudly present our first book. This is the French translation of “Introduction to Islam” by Dr Zahid Aziz.
[Series] Part Two – Our Beliefs
This is the second of our three part series on the Lahori Ahmadi’s. In part one we briefly outlined what we stand for and today we will be explaining in more detail about our beliefs.
This series has been taken from ‘The Ahmadiyya Doctrines’ by Maulana Muhammad Ali.
The Ahmadis are called kafir by some fanatical Mullas. To remove all misunderstanding on this point I give below a summary of the beliefs we hold and leave it to the reader to see for himself whether a person holding these beliefs is a Muslim or a kafir (non-Muslim).
1. We believe in the absolute unity of God. La ilaha illallah (there is no God but Allah) is the first doctrine of our faith. Read More
[Series] Part One – What We Stand For
This is a three part series being published over three days in which we will be giving a brief explanation of the beliefs and objectives of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha‘at Islam of Lahore and an invitation to all Muslims to join us in the cause of propagation of Islam.
This series has been taken from ‘The Ahmadiyya Doctrines’ by Maulana Muhammad Ali.
Part one answers the question of what we stand for, and we have neatly broken it down to the following eleven points;
1 A United Islam, in which no one is a Kafir who declares his faith in the holy Kalima. Read More
British Museum exhibition – Hajj Journey to the Heart of Islam
The British Museum located in Central London in the United Kingdom will be holding a special exhibition entitled ‘Hajj journey to the heart of Islam’. The exhibition will be showing from the 26th January 2012 until the 15th April 2012.
One of the five pillars of Islam central to Muslim belief, Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim must make at least once in their lifetime if they are able. This major exhibition charts the history of this deeply personal journey.
Examining the extraordinary travel logistics involved and how the wider operation of the event has changed over time, the exhibition compares how pilgrims over the centuries negotiated this often monumental undertaking and how it continues to be experienced by people from all corners of the globe today.
Beautiful objects, including historical and contemporary art, textiles and manuscripts, bring to life the profound spiritual significance of the sacred rituals that have remained unchanged since the Prophet Muhammad’s time in the 7th century AD.
‘This exhibition will enable a global audience to deepen their understanding of the significance and history of the Hajj. In particular, it will allow non-Muslims to explore the one aspect of Islamic practice and faith which they are not able to witness, but which plays such a major part in forming a worldwide Islamic consciousness.’
Neil MacGregor, Director, British Museum
