Islam is: *Peaceful *Rational *Tolerant *Inspiring *Non-sectarian *International
Welcome to the Official Website of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement for the Propagation of Islam (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at-e-Islam Lahore -- A.A.I.L.L.).
The main object of this movement is to present the true, original message of Islam to the whole world -- Islam as it is found in the Holy Quran and the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), obscured today by grave misconceptions and wrong popular notions.
Islam seeks to attract the hearts and minds of people towards the truth, by means of reasoning, good moral example, and the natural beauty of its principles. It neither aspires to gain political power, nor allows the use of force in support of the faith.
The founder of this religious movement, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (d. 1908) arose to remind the world that Islam is:
1.
International: God
raised Prophets in all nations, not only among the Israelites (as
already accepted by Muslims) but also in India, China, Persia etc. A
Muslim must believe in and respect all these prophets and their
scriptures. Islam restores the original purity of the eternal truths
taught by them, and broadens the scope of their national teachings to
provide a faith for all humanity. Goodness, good people and truth may
be found in all nations. God is equally just to all human beings,
irrespective of their race, nationality or religion.
2.
Tolerant: It gives full
freedom to everyone to hold, practise and adopt any belief and
religion. Differences of belief and interpretation, with whomsoever
these may occur, must be tolerated. Criticism against Islam must be
answered only by word, and any offence felt must be borne with
patience; responding by physical violence is alien to the teachings
of Islam. The common image of Islam as an intolerant faith is
completely false.
3.
Peaceful: It condemns
all use of force except in unavoidable self-defence. All battles of
early Islam were purely defensive. Muslims must live peacefully under
any rule which grants them freedom of religion. The impression that
Islam urges its followers to wage war or rebellion to establish its
rule is entirely wrong. The concept of Jihad is greatly
misunderstood: it primarily signifies a spiritual, intellectual and
moral struggle to reform oneself and others.
4.
Non-sectarian: Any
person professing the words "There is no
god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"
(La ilaha ill-Allah,
Muhammad-ur rasul-ullah)
must be treated as one's fellow Muslim. No inquisition is allowed
into anyone's beliefs or motives. Issuing so-called rulings, on some
pretext, to expel from Islam those who profess the Kalima is entirely
against Islamic teachings.
5.
Rational: It urges use
of reason and knowledge in all matters, including religious affairs.
Blind following and acceptance are disallowed, and independence of
thought is granted. Blind, unthinking obedience to religious leaders
is condemned.
6.
Living: Acts of worship
are not rituals to be performed without thought or feeling. They are
meant to put the human soul in living contact with a Living God. We
must know the purpose of prayer, fasting, etc. and carry them out in
their true spirit. God listens to man's supplications and answers his
prayers. In every age there arise, among Muslims, saints who have
closeness and communication with God. Their example shows others that
there is a Living God Who speaks to man.
7. Supporter of
Women: A great deal of
misunderstanding prevails on this point, mainly due to local customs
being confused with the teachings of Islam. According to Islam, a
woman is a full, responsible human being, just as a man is. She
should have the same control over determining the course of her life
(including matters of marriage and divorce) as a man has over his
life.
8. Highly
Moral: It requires
Muslims to develop the highest personal moral virtues, and display
these qualities even at the cost of personal or national interest. An
Islamic society is not created by imposing laws and regulations on
people. It is only created by reforming the character of individuals
through moral training and example, and this was what the Holy
Prophet Muhammad did.
9.
Heart-winning: It seeks
to conquer hearts and minds by showing the logic, truth and beauty of
its teachings, in a gentle, loving spirit. It condemns force or
coercion to spread the faith or make people conform to it.
10.
Complete: The Holy
Quran and the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him)
provide complete and
perfect guidance for all mankind, for all time to come. The Holy
Prophet is the perfect exemplar of the highest moral virtues, that is
why he is the Last of
the Prophets (Khatam-un Nabiyyin). After
him, no prophet (new or old) is to arise. However,
Mujaddids
(reformers) will be raised by God to revive and rekindle the light of
the faith of Islam. As Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, the
Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, wrote:
"I firmly believe that our Holy Prophet Muhammad is the Last of the Prophets, and after him no prophet shall come for this nation, neither old nor new." (Nishan Asmani, p. 28).
