Unity of God (Tawhid):
Ahmadiyya staunchly upholds the Oneness of God (Tawhid). It teaches that there is no deity except Allah, and all worship should be directed solely to Him. This monotheistic belief is beautifully encapsulated in the opening verse of the Holy Qur’an:
“Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem” (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) ¹[1].
Divine Attributes:
Ahmadiyya recognizes and celebrates the infinite attributes of God. His power, knowledge, perfection, greatness, mercy, and justice are not mere abstract concepts but living realities. The Holy Qur’an repeatedly emphasizes these qualities, inviting believers to reflect upon them:
“Allah! There is no god but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting, the All-Sustaining.” (Qur’an, 2:256) ¹[1].
Personal Relationship with the Divine:
Ahmadiyya encourages a deep and personal connection with Allah. It teaches that prayer is the means to converse directly with our Creator. Through sincere supplication, believers find solace, guidance, and strength. The Holy Qur’an states:
“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.” (Qur’an, 2:186) ¹[1].
Guiding from Darkness to Light:
Ahmadiyya strives to lead humanity from spiritual darkness to enlightenment. It emphasizes knowledge, education, and understanding. The Holy Qur’an declares:
“Allah will bring forth people from darkness into light.” (Qur’an, 2:257) ¹[1].
Remembrance (Dhikr) and Mindfulness:
Ahmadiyya encourages constant remembrance of Allah. Regular prayers, recitation of the Qur’an, and acts of kindness serve as reminders of our purpose. The Holy Qur’an reminds us:
“Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find tranquility.” (Qur’an, 13:29) ¹[1].
Tafsir e Kabir (The Grand Exegesis):
Ahmadiyya’s Tafsir e Kabir, authored by Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (ra), provides profound insights into the Qur’an. It unveils layers of meaning, historical context, and spiritual guidance. This magnum opus sheds light on the essence of Islam, reinforcing its timeless relevance.
Comparative Excellence:
In light of the above, Ahmadiyya stands out as the best living religion:
- It harmonizes reason and faith.
- It promotes peace, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue.
- It champions human rights and social justice.
- It fosters a global brotherhood.
Conclusion:
Ahmadiyya’s unwavering commitment to God’s Unity, personal connection, and enlightenment makes it a beacon of hope. It is not merely a religion; it is a transformative way of life. As the Holy Qur’an affirms:
“This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as religion.” (Qur’an, 5:4).
May Ahmadiyya continue to illuminate hearts and guide humanity toward the Divine truth. 🌟🕊️
