The Philosophy and Teachings of Islam (Essay)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam is a well-known essay on Islam by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, founder of the Ahmadiyya movement. The original was written in order to be read at a Conference of Great Religions held at Lahore on December 26-29, 1896. It has since served as an introduction to Islam for seekers of religious knowledge and truth in different parts of the world. It deals with the following five broad themes set by the moderators of the Conference:
- the physical, moral, and spiritual states of man;
- what is the state of man after death?
- the object of man's life and the means of its attainment;
- the operation of the practical ordinances of the Law in this life and the next, and (v) sources of Divine knowledge.
