The British Government and Jihad

by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, The Promised Messiah and Mahdi^(as)

An English translation of the Urdu booklet, Government Angreizi aur Jihad

• What is Jihad and why was Islam forced to resort to defending itself in its early history?
• Why have mistaken notions about jihad taken root in the minds of some Muslim groups and what part have Muslim clerics and Christian priests played in this process?
• Is it legitimate for a Muslim to revolt against a government that maintains law and order and permits religious freedom?

These questions, which have become the focus of worldwide attention today, were answered over one hundred years ago with God-given guidance and understanding by the man who claimed to be the Promised Messiah.
