Qadianism poses today a great challenge to the world of Islam from within: claiming to represent the true faith, it even goes a step further to assume itself as the champion of Islam against the West and Christianity by unfolding the revealed truth, in a way more rational and convincing. But what does really Qadianism stands for, who was its founder, what were his objectives, and how far were these in variance with the fundamental creed and practice of Islam are the few questions dealt with critically in this book.
Written with historical sobriety rather than with a controversialist’s enthusiasm, the book traces the historical perspective of the rise of Qadianism, the evolution of Qadiani doctrines, aspects of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani’s life and character and evaluates his contribution to the religious thought and fundamental beliefs of Islam. The book is a must for anyone who desires to understand Qadianism.
