 One Imaam - Multiple roles
As the Mujad-did (Reformer)
To revive faith in the existence of a living God.
As the Promised Messiah
To spread Islam to the world as non-violent
Messiah.
As the Mahdi
To eliminate the
Muslim mind-set of the false doctrine of the
“Jihaad of Violence” by replacing it with the
“Jihaad of Patience”.
As Jesus returned (Christ’s 2nd coming)
To propagate Islam with Jihaad using
Allah’s Word (Qur’an) - the Jesus Method.
Muslims and Christians expect the same Jesus to
re-appear to achieve diametrically opposite results
For some Muslims
- Jesus will uphold Islam and destroy Christianity
For many Christians
- Jesus will uphold Christianity and destroy Islam
For Ahmadis
Jesus’ return brings Muslims and Christians into
harmonious living
About the AAII T&T
The Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha’at-I-lslam
(Ahmadiyya Organization for the Propagation of Islam) is an international movement of Muslims dedicated to presenting
the true, original message of Islam.
The organization was formed by Mirza
Ghulaam-Ahmad and has over the past
hundred years spread the word of Islam
through peaceful means.
Islam seeks to attract the hearts and
minds of people towards the truth, by
means of reasoning, good moral example
and the natural beauty of its principles.
We uphold:
o One God - Allah for all Humankind
o Muhammad is the last prophet of Allah
“While you opt for the low life, the life
ahead is better and most durable.”
The Qur’an 87:16, 17

Eid ensures that our effort is matched in results
Ramadaan means summer.
Fasting in Ramadaan is an annual summer cleaning of the
soul. We let go of the old and
what no longer serves us, to
attract the new. We took the
time to cleanse, to rid ourselves
of cravings for food as well as
toxic relationships at home, at
work, and at the Mosque. We
curbed our thoughts and habits
to replace them with forward
moving ideas. Space and a vacuum always tend to fill up again
with the new and the better.
Ramadaan was an opportunity
to invest our energy in selfdevelopment and renewal of
the soul. We enriched our lives
with quality – quality effort,
quality in relationships, quality
friends, quality foods, quality
meditation and prayer and
quality sleep. Seeking quality
helps us to recognize and eliminate that which is not essential.
This is how we find our focus in
life. This is how we obtain our
Eid, our celebration of accomplishment.
Fasting in Ramadaan was a discipline to refocus our lives to
turn hunger into patience and
determination; and endurance
into an understanding of Divine
purpose. While we fasted we
put less of our food into our
bodies and more of ourselves
into our work, our family and
our Jamaa'at (community). We
turned nutritional losses into
personal spiritual gains.
Eid ensures that our efforts are
equally matched in results. We
are thankful and grateful for
achieving fullness of life by
making full use of resources
and the new opportunities discovered through our abstinence which turned what we
already have into more by
making us grateful for little.
“And when your Nurturer made
it known: If you are grateful, I
will give you more.” (14:7)
“Certainly for those who have
disciplined themselves (muttaqeen) there is an excellent
resort, Gardens of Eden —
doors are opened for them
within which they experience
fine dining (mut-taki’een) as
they call for many fruits and
drink.” 38:49— 51
We remember Jesus’ prayer
(The Qur’an 5:114): O Allah, our
Nurturer, let the heavenly food
You send us be an ‘Eid
(celebration of a return to a
Better Life) for us. . . and a sign
from You and give us sustenance.” And we experience
Allah’s response: “Surely this is
Our sustenance; it will never
come to an end.” 38:54
Eid ensures that our effort is
matched in results – taking us
from mut-taqeen (disciplined)
to mut-taki’een (fine dining).
How much of God’s attributes
have we developed within us?
Measure the value of human life
by the amount of Divinity we
have within us not by the amount
of prosperity we have with us!
Indeed the religion with God is Islam
The Qur’an 3:19
