The Ahmadiyya Anjuman I sha ‘at Isl a m ( Ahmadiyya Society for the propagation of Isl a m ), based in Lahore, Pakistan, is an international Muslim body devoted to the presentation of Islam through literary and missionary work. Since its inception in 1914, it has produced a range of highly acclaimed, standard books on all aspects of Isl a m, and has run Muslim missions in many parts of the world, establishing the first ever Isl a mic centres in England (at Woking) and Germany (Berlin). The literature produced by the Anjuman, largely written by Maulana Muhammad Ali, is deep research work of the highest quality, based purely on the original sources of Isl a m. It has corrected many wrong notions about the religion of Isl a m, and has received world wide acclaim for its authenticity, scholarship and service of the faith.
Continuing the mission of H adrat Mirza Gh ul a m A h mad, the mujaddid of the 14th century Hijra, the Ahmadiyya Anjuman seeks to revive the original liberal, tolerant and rational spirit of Isl a m. It presents Isl a m as a great spiritual force for bringing about the moral reform of mankind, and shows that this religion has never advocated coercion, the use of physical force or the pursuit of political power in its support.

Footnote / Endnote references
In the e-book format, it is necessary to place all footnotes at the end of the document, in effect, converting them to “endnotes”. This, however, makes it more difficult to view and refer to them while maintaining your reading position in the text. To address this difficulty, we have placed a “link” at each footnote reference in the text. By clicking on the link, you will be taken to the end of the file, to the point at which that specific footnote/endnote occurs. By clicking on the footnote number once you have read the note, you will be taken back to your reading position in the text.
