worldreligionnews.com: The Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, delivered a powerful and emphatic response to critics of Islam who blame the world’s problems on religion during his keynotes address at the Jalsa Salana on Sunday. His Holiness, who is the spiritual leader of tens of millions of Ahmadi Muslims worldwide, delivered a series of speeches during the three-day event held in Hampshire, UK, in which he outlined the challenges facing the Muslim world before an enthralled and vocally passionate audience of over 35,000 Ahmadi Muslims attending from over 90 countries. The Caliph said: “In this day and age it is of great regret that some Muslims have misconstrued the true teachings of Islam to such an extent that the world has become fearful of the beautiful and peaceful teachings of Islam.” Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad explained in detail how these depictions of the faith by extremists are in fact a corruption of the religion. He said: “According to the teachings of the Holy Quran, the love that a Muslim must adopt for humanity should be such that he or she should become restless upon seeing any other person in discomfort. A true Muslim must always be watchful of the sentiments of others and must sacrifice his own comfort for the sake of the comfort of his fellow beings.”
