The document is a speech by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim community, about respecting religious feelings. It makes three key points:
1) A Muslim can never defame or disrespect any prophet, and an Ahmadi Muslim believes in prophets even more than ordinary Muslims because they also believe in the Promised Messiah. The history of the Ahmadiyya community shows they are truly makers and keepers of peace.
2) If some religious commandment is unclear, people should ask knowledgeable followers of that faith to understand properly rather than criticize unfairly. Since most common people follow misguided leaders, true teachings can be misunderstood.

Ibadah dan bekerja itu sangat erat kaitannya. Ia tidak bisa dipisahkan dengan mutlak. Karena bekerja bisa menjadi bagian dari ibadah. Dengan bekerja, kebutuhan keluarga bisa terpenuhi dan tidak membebani orang lain.

Ya mengabdikan diri kita hanya kepada dan untuk Allah semata.

Bagaimana caranya? Yaitu dengan mentaati dan mematuhi setiap aturan syariat Allah dalam segala bentuk pekerjaan dunia kita.

While some North African regions integrated Greek, Roman and later Christian influences, the spread of Christianity and Islam more widely in Africa has changed and sometimes conflicted with traditional religious practices.

A review of the concept of origin and founder of the indigenous african religionAlexander Decker
This document discusses the concept of origin and founder of African traditional religion. It argues that while many scholars claim this religion has no founder and originated from the experiences of early Africans, this view is logically inconsistent and problematic. The paper asserts that African traditional religion should be considered a revealed religion with founders, as all religions require beliefs, practices, objects, values, and leaders. It concludes that the founders of this religion were Africans themselves.

Animal welfare in islam by al hafiz basheer ahmad masridocsforu
This chapter discusses Islamic concern for animal welfare. It notes that cruelty to animals exists in various forms, from cockfighting to animal experimentation. However, the current scale and justification of cruelty is more alarming, being done to satisfy human demands and find cures for self-induced diseases.

The Quran prohibits cruelty and considers animals as communities with the ability to feel pain. Hadith emphasize kindness and compassion. Islam aims to establish balance and justice for all creation.

Understanding the concept of islamic charitiesMaryRCotter
Islamic charities and banks provide alternatives to traditional UK contracts and loans that involve riba, or interest, which is prohibited under Islamic law. Options like ijara with diminishing musharaka allow Muslims to purchase homes through installment plans where payments cover rent and gradually purchase portions of the property. Fully Islamic banks also offer halal financial products like current accounts, business accounts, home financing, and annuities that are approved by Sharia'a committees to be in compliance with Islamic principles.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
