Ahmadiyya Muslims Knock On Doors To Spread Islam’s Message Of Peace

The Weekly Voice

Vaughn: On May 6, throughout Canada, in over 80 cities and neighborhoods, members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community did their bit to remove negative perceptions on Islam by talking to communities door-to-door. They were celebrating a day of spreading the peaceful message of Islam.  The celebration is unique, as thousands of members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community participated in a “Love for All – Hatred for None” campaign and promoting peace by distributing flyers containing the true message of Islam. Men, women, young children and seniors, were involved in the campaign.

This campaign also included offering free copies of the complete Holy Qur’an with English translations to any desired audience. Some excerpts from the writings of the Muslim Promised Messiah, who founded the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1889 to revive faith in the world, was included in the flyer, distributed Nation-wide.

  1. Alhamdolillah, this is a very right and correct way to spread the true message of Islam throughout the world, with the blessings of God Almighty. Islam means peace, yes, peace within and without, the peace in society is the first and the basic need of human race for all the time to come and on which lies the survival of all of our human race and its centuries old civilization. I congratulate the Ahmadiyya Muslim community of Canada for organizing such a door to door knocking for the spread of the message of true Islam,called as Islam-e-Ahmadiyyat. Let this-like peaceful campaigns become a regular feature and function of all Ahmadiyya Muslim community, not only in the 80 cities of Canada, but also in all the 200 countries of the world, the papulation of which must be politely informed that the Promised Massieh has come in the person of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian with lofty aim of reviving, in letter and spirit, the true message of deen-e-fitrat,the natural way of life under the true version of Islam-e-Ahmadiyyat-in-practice.
    , in the acception of which lies the ultimate victory of Islamic faith, InshaAllah. Such a happy news from Canada, reminds one , the slogan and a prayer of the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community,saying ‘let the whole world become a Canada,’ a place worthy of life, full of hope and happiness, peace, prosperity and tranquelity for all, irrespective of difference of color or creed,region, language or religion, a society in which all live and enjoy the right of freedom of conscience.Let all of us say Ameen to such a pious and noble prayer so that God Almighty fulfills this dream during the life-time of our present Head Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad Sahib, Khalifatul Masih Al-khamis, Ameen-sum-Ameen.InshaAllah.

  5. Almost all of literature of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is available free of cost on Alislam.org.

    Today, I made a book by an Italian Professor, which was out of print until recently, available on the Muslim Times.

    Prof. Laura Veccia Vaglieri contributed several articles to the Encyclopedia of Islam. She was a pioneer of Arabic and Islamic studies in Italy, Veccia Vaglieri served as professor at the Naples Eastern University and was the author of books on the historical and institutional analysis of the Arab and Muslim world. She is certainly deserving of joining an august list of Orientalists, who overcame their received biases and presented a positive picture of Islam and its Founder the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace be on him!

    The Muslim Times is making her book An Interpretation of Islam available online in PDF file and word file will soon follow. Prof. Laura Veccia Vaglieri said about the unique beauty of the Holy Quran:

    The miracle of Islam par excellence is the Quran, through which a constant and unbroken tradition transmits to us news of an absolute certainty. This is a book which cannot be imitated. Each of its expressions is a comprehensive one, and yet it is of proper size, neither too long nor too short. Its style is original. There is no model for this style in Arab literature of the times, preceding it. The effect which it produces on the human soul is obtained without any adventitious aid through its own inherent excellences. The verses are equally eloquent all through the text, even when they deal with topics, such as commandments and prohibitions, which must necessarily affect its tone. Stories of Prophets, descriptions of the beginning and the end of the world, enumerations and expositions of the divine attributes are repeated but repeated in a way which is so impressive that they do not weaken the effect. The text proceeds from one topic to another without losing its power. Depth and sweetness, qualities which generally do not go together, are found together here, where each rhetoric figure finds a perfect application. How could this marvelous book be the work of Muhammad, an illiterate Arab who in all his life composed only two or three verses, none of which reveals the least poetic quality?

    She also wrote about human equality in Islam in this book. She states:

    Islam, which has never made any distinction of race or colour among men, which considered the white and the black, the nomad and the settled farmer, the ruler and the subject as all alike, not only in theory but also in practice (and as a matter of fact in the tent, in the palace, in the mosque, in the market, they all mingled together without reserve and with no sign of contempt or arrogance towards each other), never countenanced any humiliating treatment for slaves. Is it not fitting to remember here, while talking of the social equality imposed by Islam, the beautiful episode of King Jabale, who, having become a Muslim, went in great state to Makkah. While he was making the ritual tour around the Ka’bah, he struck a Bedouin who had accidentally trodden on his rich mantle. The Caliph Umar ruled that he was to receive a similar blow from the Bedouin because in Islam all men are alike. Jabale refused to submit to this and that very night he left with his five hundred knights and went straight to Byzantium where he became a Christian. Many years later, in the midst of honours and riches, the memories of Islam still filled his eyes with tears.

    History furnishes many examples of slaves to whom high and honourable positions were given (among others, Bilal, who, because of his beautiful voice was accorded the high honour of being the first muezzin in Islam) and of freedmen who occupied high government positions, even rising to the Caliphate.

    Laura Veccia Vaglieri (1893 – 1989) was an Italian orientalist. Her works include

    A textbook on the grammar of the Arabic language (Grammatica teorico-pratica della lingua araba (Istituto per l’Oriente, Rome, 1937, 2 voll.))
    Apologia dell’ Islamismo (Rome, A. F. Formiggini, 1925). An Interpretation of Islam. Zurich: Islamic Foundation. Translated from Italian by Dr. Aldo Caselli, Haverford College, Pennsylvania. 1980.
    A synthesis on the classical Islam (L’Islam da Maometto al secolo XVI, in: Storia Universale (dir. Ernesto Pontieri), Milan, F. Vallardi, 1963))

    and a number of articles on the early Islam. She also contributed several articles to the Encyclopaedia of Islam.
