Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad Khalifatul Masih V

Supreme Head of the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

In this book, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Head of the worldwide Ah-

madiyya Muslim Community warns the world of the fast approaching dangers and

how it can avert disaster and chart a course to peace.

“The Holy Qur’an teaches that when cruelty has been successfully stopped and the aggressor pledges and adopts peace, then undue restrictions should not be enforced as a means to express power and might. Al-though this key principle particularly applies where one country attacks another, it can actually be applied to all situations in order to establish peace.”

ADDRESSES AROUND THE WORLD

National Peace Symposium, 2013London, United Kingdom

“The truth is that peace and justice are inseparable—you cannot have one without the other.The United States, as the world’s largest power, should play its role in acting with true justice and with good inten-tions. If it does so then the world will always remem-ber with great admiration your great efforts. It is my prayer that this becomes a reality.”

Capitol Hill, 2012Washington, DC, USA

European Parliment, 2012Brussels, Belgium

“The formation of the European Union has been a great achievement on the part of European countries, for it has been a means of uniting the Continent. Thus, you should all make all possible efforts to preserve this unity, by honoring each other’s rights.”

out my task and my responsibilities of promoting peace,

tolerance, justice and compassion to the

corners of the world.”

PATHWAY TO PEACELETTERS TO WORLD LEADERS I am not speaking in support or favour of any particular

individual country. What I wish to say is that all forms of cruelty, wherever they exist, must be eradicated and stopped regardless of whether they are perpetrated by the people of Palestine, the people of Israel or the peo-ple of any other country. This was perfectly illustrated by the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) when he fa-mously said a black person is not superior to a white person and nor is a white person superior to a black person. Neither is a European greater or superior to any other national, nor are Africans, Asians or the peo-ple of any other part of the world. The formation of the European Union has been a great achievement on the part of European countries, for it has been a means of uniting the Continent. Thus, you should all make all possible efforts to preserve this unity, by honoring each other’s rights.

“The Community is a prosperous, courageous and determined one.”

Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP (ALDE)Vice Chair of the European Parliment Friends of Ahmadiyya Muslim Group

“The Ahmadiyya Community needs to be understood more, its charitable work, its thirst for tolerance and understanding,

its themes of “Love for all” and “Peace for all.”

“All the religions of the world are in need of religious harmony and all the people of the world need a spirit

of love, affection and brotherhood to be created.”

“There is an urgent need for mankind to recognise its One God, Who is our Creator, as this is the only guarantor for the survival of humanity; otherwise, the

world will continue to rapidly head towards self-destruction.”

“World leaders should terminate the notion of gover-nance by force and should refrain from oppressing the weak. Instead, strive to spread and promote justice

and peace.”

WORLD CRISISThe world is passing through very turbulent times. The global economic crisis continues to manifest new-er and graver dangers almost every week. The similar-ities to the period just before the Second World War continue to be cited and it seems clear that events are moving the world at an unprecedented pace towards a horrific third world war. There is an overwhelming sense that things are quickly getting out of control and people are looking for someone to step on to the stage to offer concrete, solid, guidance in which they can confidence and that speaks to their heart and mind alike an gives them hope that there is a path that can lead to peace. The consequences of a nuclear war are so catastrophic that none dare even think about them.

There is currently great agitation and restlessness in the world. In some areas small-scale wars have broken out, while in other places the superpowers act on the pretext of trying to bring about peace. Each country is engaged in activities to either help or oppose other countries, but the requirements of justice are not be-ing fulfilled. It is with regret that if we now observe the current circumstances of the world, we find that the foundation for another world war has already been laid.

Hence, I believe that now, rather than focusing on the progress of the world, it is more important and indeed essential, that we urgently increase our efforts to save the world from this destruction. There is an urgent need for mankind to recognize its One God, Who is our Creator, as this is the only guarantor for the survival of humanity; otherwise, the world will continue to rapid-ly head towards self-destruction.

His Holiness, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih V, is the supreme head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Mus-lim Community. He is the fifth successor of the Promised Messiah and Reformer, Had-rat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas of Qadian.

Elected to the lifelong posi-tion of Khalifa (Caliph) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Commu-nity on 22 April 2003, His

Holiness serves as the worldwide spiritual and admin-istrative head of an international religious organization with tens of millions of members spread across more than 200 countries.

Since being elected Khalifa, His Holiness has led a world-wide campaign to convey the peaceful message of Islam, through all forms of print and digital media. Under his leadership, national branches of the Ahmadiyya Mus-lim Community have launched campaigns that reflect the true and peaceful teachings of Islam. Ahmadi Muslims the world over are engaged in grassroot efforts to distribute millions of ‘Peace’ leaflets to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, host interfaith and peace symposia and present ex-hibitions of the Holy Qur’an to present its true and noble message. These campaigns have received worldwide media coverage and demonstrate that Islam champions peace, loy-alty to one’s country of residence and service to humanity.
