‘The True Succession’ now available on Amazon

Dr Zahid Aziz’s latest book, ‘The True Succession: Founding of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement’, is now available to purchase from the Amazon Book Shop.

This book is an account of the founding, in 1914, of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha’at Islam at Lahore (then in India, now Pakistan), and covers the background, the events and the issues in relation to the creation, objectives and work of this organization.

It aims to show that this body was created to save the mission of propagation of Islam started by the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and to preserve his teachings and beliefs, in the face of the grave threat that arose within the Movement to undermine its true character.

This book was originally published to mark the centenary of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha’at Islam Lahore. Time has vindicated its interpretation of the teachings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in two ways. Firstly, today that interpretation is showing the light to the Muslim world as to how to resolve its intractable problems; but that topic is beyond the scope of this book. Secondly, the Lahore Ahmadiyya view of his claims and beliefs has triumphed over the erroneous standpoint of the group which believes him to be a prophet and treats all other Muslims as outside the fold of Islam.
