A Message for our Time
The western world is seeing a rise in intolerance, hate and violence. The media exacerbates this by painting inaccurate portrayals of immigrants, minorities and of Islam and Muslims in particular. As a result of this, there is a pressing need to convey the true teachings of Islam, especially with regards to fostering mutual brotherhood amongst people of all beliefs.
In four speeches published in this book His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, offers a formula for achieving peace in our communities, nations and throughout the world.
“... Islam teaches that, irrespective of di erences of religion or belief, every citizen has a duty to remain peaceful and to ensure that he or she does not take any action that threatens the well-being of society. Islam states that all people should be law-abiding and loyal citizens of the state and work towards its progress and development.” (A Message For Our Time)
