[Video] The most honourable work

April 14, 2012

• Leave a comment

In this extract Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ali says that the most honourable or esteemed task is the propagation of Islam and although we pay lip service to this, in fact, we hold other things such as business or jobs and positions to be things which bring us honour. If we truly thought that propagation was the most honourable task we would seek to train our children to carry it out but where our children our concerned we train them for worldly success.

[Picture] Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ali

February 5, 2012
inNews
• Leave a comment


This was the first photograph taken of Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ali. He describes the events leading up to the photo being taken in his Friday Khutbah on 14th January, 1944, as follows:

“It was perhaps 1901 or 1902. I was living in Qadian and probably The Review of Religions had already started. The Promised Messiah called a photographer to have his photograph taken for inclusion in his books. … I cannot remember if any other group photo was taken but what I do recall is that by his bidding my photograph was also taken…. This is an ordinary event, but the strange thing, or what we can call God’s work, is that in the photo on the left side there is a hand holding a book, upon which is written, Quran Sharif. Where did it come from? At that time no one had in mind translating the Holy Qur’an. Hazrat Miza Sahib had entertained this desire for long …”

The photo and quote are courtesy of ‘The Hope Bulletin’ (Vol. 6:7), edited by Akbar Ibn Abdullah.

[Series] Part Two – Our Beliefs

December 30, 2011
inNews
• Leave a comment

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. Continue reading…

[Video] Messengers

Any one who carries a message is a messenger but when it is a messenger from Allah he has this irresistible urge to help humanity. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) was the one who had most sympathy for people in his heart even when compared to other prophets.

[Video] Unity of Godhead

December 11, 2011
inOur Videos
• Leave a comment

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (a.s.) explains that the Unity of Godhead and the ‘messengership’ of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) are inseparable. Prophets of Allah have it in their nature to worry about the spiritual nourishment of people just like it is in a mother’s nature to provide physical nourishment for a child.

[Video] Heart of a Prophet

October 31, 2011
inOur Videos
• Leave a comment

The Promised Messiah speaks about the condition of the heart of a prophet. In the case of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) this is reflected in the verse : “will you kill yourself with grief because they do not believe?” The word used here is ‘mumin’ which reflects the fact that it applies as much to Muslims as to non-Muslims. It applies to non-Muslims because they do not embrace Islam and to Muslims because although they profess faith by their tongues they do not act upon it.

[Video] Muhammad – The Ideal Role Model part two

October 30, 2011
inOur Videos
• Leave a comment

In 33:21 the Holy Prophet is called the Best Role Model. Last week we looked at the example he (s) set as an individual – as a husband, father and friend etc. This week we look at him as a leader – a statesman, a general, a head of state to see if such people can draw any lessons from the way the Holy Prophet behaved.

It is shown in this khutba that whether or not people accept the Holy Prophet’s claim to be a Prophet of Allah he is still an ideal role model.

The reason is that the examples of his behaviour can be emulated by every human being, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, to live a better life. You don’t need to be a Muslim to emulate how he dealt with his wives, children, friends, neighbours or anyone else.

How and Why Prophet Muhammad Made a Difference

October 13, 2011

• Leave a comment


First, Muhammad as a prophet. Muhammad was born about 570. Forty years later, around 610, he began to receive revelations from on high. He continued to receive those revelations for something like 20 years, and collectively, those revelations constitute the Koran. The Koran was put together in the exact form in which we have it today something like 20 years after his death in 632. Some time around 650 — give or take a few years — the Koran is put together the way it is now.

What I have to do now is give you the message of the Koran. How do I do that? In a talk of this length, I have reduced the Koran to a sound bite. I feel bad about that. What authority do I have to reduce God’s message to a sound bite? Fortunately, the early Muslims come to my aid. They didn’t have the concept of a sound bite, but they did develop by the end of the seventh century a concept to which I can give the name of a “coin bite.”

Let me show you a typical coin, a completely non-Islamic coin, an American quarter. Does that look vaguely familiar? This is a classic recipe for a coin. One side is political; the other side you could call religious. On the political side, you have a guy’s head, and he’s your king, or if not, then some equivalent figure. This side, you have an eagle, because either you guys worship an eagle god, or else maybe the eagle is a national symbol.

Here is a seventh century coin, and it’s exactly the same recipe. This is typical of the design of coins minted by the Persian Empire, which is the empire the Arabs knocked down when they set out to conquer the world. This style is a little different, but it’s the same recipe. You’ve got the guy’s head there — that’s the Persian emperor. Unlike George Washington, he has a crown on his head. Over here, we have a Zoroastrian fire altar and a couple of attendants on either side. There’s the political side and the religious side — same basic design.

But the odd thing about this coin is, as some of you may have noticed, we have a bit of Arabic script. What’s that doing here? Continue reading…

[Video] Two aspects of the moral qualities of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s)

September 13, 2011

The Holy Prophet showed us how to behave in adversity – that is when he was at Makkah and in victory – when he was at Medina. No other prophet had the opportunity to show his followers how to behave under all circumstances.

    This is an excellent short commentary! More people should be aware of these things about Islam and the prophet. Thanks for making me aware of this.

  • Alli • September 16, 2011

    If only leaders had these morals now, we world would be a much better place.
