The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement Blog

Archive for June, 2018

In the year 1900, when the Urdu book Sīrat Masīḥ Mau‛ūd (Character and example of the Promised Messiah) by Maulvi Abdul Karim of Sialkot was published, after covering the topic of the title, the book included the text of a public lecture given by the author in 1898 on the subject: 'What reform work has been carried out by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad'.

This section of almost 70 pages is well worth reading. Therefore I have made it available at this link.

A feature appeared in The Times (London), 2 June 2018, in its magazine section, carrying an interview with a Danish Muslim woman convert to Islam who runs an all-female mosque. She has written a book, Women are the Future of Islam, in which she "outlines her vision of a modern, gentle, flexible faith bridging the ever widening gulf between western society and orthodox teaching".
