📘 Book Description
Dr. Muhammad Iqbal and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad on Ahmadiyyat, authored by Maulana Muhammad Ali Lahori and published by AAIIL (3rd Reprint, 1972), presents a powerful and intellectual rebuttal to the public statements made by Dr. Sir Muhammad Iqbal and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad regarding the Ahmadiyya Movement.
When Dr. Iqbal issued a detailed statement supporting the exclusion of Ahmadis—based on the views of the Qadiani section—from the fold of Islam, Maulana Muhammad Ali, representing the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement, responded with clarity and scholarly depth. This book outlines his defense, grounded in Quranic interpretation and historical context, illustrating the true beliefs and mission of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam.
While Maulana Azad also commented on the issue during similar debates, he notably did not endorse the call for exclusion, adding another dimension to the public discourse.
This book is essential reading for students of Islamic history, inter-sectarian relations, and those interested in the ideological distinction between the Lahore Ahmadiyya and Qadiani views. It remains a vital document in understanding the nuanced perspectives of major Muslim thinkers and reformers.
