This issue describes the various spiritual fruits that resulted from establishing a relationship with God through His chosen prophet – the Promised Messia (as). Although all religions bore spiritual fruits while they remained in a state of purity, such fruits were given in abundance in Islam as it provided the pinnacle of spiritual development, nourished by the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s light shining as the radiant sun. It was for this reason the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was given the title Siraj-um-Munir.

Friday Sermon by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, London, UK (March 1, 2013)
"An important quality of Muslims that is stated is that they are ‘tender among themselves’ (48:30). God has cited this as a sign of true believers but the Ulema (religious leaders) and the rulers of Muslim coun- tries have embarked on trampling this obligation in the name of Islam. And this is not happening in just any one Muslim country; in fact it is spread across almost the entire Muslim world, only differing in intensity from one place to another."
Distinctive Features of the Spirituality of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) By Monsura A. Sirajee
"In Braheen-e Ahmadiyyah, the Promised Messiah (AS) comments that there are three types of attaining nearness to the Divine: the relation- ship of servant and master, father and son, and a mirror-like reflection. The first two types are characterized by a striving for nearness; though, they fall short of the goal to some extent. The third type of nearness, however, resembles a person’s own reflection to such an extent that “all Divine attributes become reflected clearly in his being.” The Promised Messiah writes that this third level of nearness, which the Qur’an describes as the closeness between two sides of a bow and rep- resents the highest form of spiritual eminence, was achieved by Prophet Muhammad (SAW)."

"It appears that most humans are not content with the idea that they exist to live their lives out to the best of their abilities, with no higher purpose.

Can Atheists and Muslims Support Freedom of Conscience Together?
By Qasim Rashid and Chris Stedman
"We must actively dispel our fear of the unfamiliar and embrace our fellow human beings as equals—especially the ones with whom we might vehemently disagree. We need neither whitewash our differences, nor evangelize. And under no circumstance can we compromise an individual’s right to believe—or not believe—as she or he deems appropriate. By instead embracing the middle path of respect and moderation—even in the face of injustice and insults—we better inform each other and ourselves" Read the complete article in the Spring ssue.
