If there is one thing the world desperately needs today, it is peace. Currently, humanity has reached such a tragic moral low that we have begun to normalise the killing of newborn babies and children, and the wiping out of entire races and ethnic groups. Watching genocide unfold live on social media has become the new normal. Meanwhile, the greed and power struggles of nations are pushing the world towards another global war.
The World Head of the Ahmadiyya Community, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmadaba, has long warned that humanity is collectively moving towards destruction and war. His book World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace—a compilation of his addresses on the urgent need for peace—serves as a timely reminder to world leaders and people alike about the consequences of a potential Third World War.
Yet, even in the absence of a global war, the world still remains rife with conflicts. Disputes between people of different nations, races, and faiths continue to disrupt peace in every part of the globe.
In light of these alarming realities, the significance of the guidance and vision of the Ahmadiyya Khalifa in calling humanity back to peace cannot be overstated. Unsurprisingly, those who read his words and reflect upon his message cannot help but acknowledge the profound truth and urgency of his warnings.
Here we present reflections from several intellectuals from Andhra Pradesh who have read World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace and shared their thoughts on its message.
Dr Talari Vasu, Professor, Adikavi Nannaya University
These are outstanding lectures. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad has beautifully conveyed messages of peace to the world. The book discusses how to present the message of peace from an Islamic perspective, especially in a world plagued by crises. It highlights how destructive circumstances are ruining societies and offers comprehensive explanations along with practical solutions. He also analyses the necessity of establishing just international relations and emphasises that peace is the fundamental basis of harmony among nations. Islam, as portrayed in these lectures, is not only a peaceful path but a religion deeply rooted in love and compassion.
Today, many countries are facing severe challenges related to national security, and the primary solution to these problems is peace. At every step, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad urges the nations of the world to walk towards peace. The essence of this message is reflected not only in his lectures but also in the letters he wrote to world leaders and prime ministers—these letters are included in the book. Through constant spiritual reflection, the book outlines how an individual can pursue righteousness, live with contentment and peace, and contribute to building a peaceful society that benefits all. For readers interested in Islam’s message of peace, this book is highly beneficial.
G S Gabriel, Professor, Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University
After reading the inspiring speech World Peace—The Critical Need of the Time from the book World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace, I was deeply moved. This speech conveyed very clearly that establishing peace is not only the duty of world leaders but also the shared responsibility of every individual. This message filled me with renewed hope and motivation. The reminder that even in personal life, simple actions like speaking kindly, showing patience, and maintaining justice can remove hatred and enmity deeply touched my heart. The thought that even small, sincere efforts can contribute towards world peace is truly inspiring. After reading this, I feel more committed than ever to practice these values in my daily life and to share this noble message of peace with others.

As a legal professional, I view this book through the lens of justice, constitutional values, and human rights. The author rightly emphasises that moral decline, social injustice, and economic disparity are among the fundamental causes of global unrest. This perspective strongly resonates with the principles of law and equity. The book serves as a timely reminder that lasting peace can only be achieved through the proper implementation of just laws and meaningful legal reforms. If legal systems and governing bodies take these recommendations seriously, they can greatly contribute to ensuring justice and protecting the rights of all citizens.
Bro Dr Chille Durga Prasad, Pastor, Churches of Christ, Dr B R Ambedkar Konaseema District
At a time when the nations of the world are declaring ‘my country first’ and people are saying ‘it is enough if my family is well’, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is raising the slogan of peace, calling upon all the countries of the world and wishing for the welfare of all mankind. On behalf of Christian families, I express my heartfelt gratitude for this noble expression of love. The Ahmadiyya Community is distributing this book, which reminds the world of the forgotten value of peace, in many languages across various countries, presenting it to scholars, teachers, and representatives of all religions. I am truly pleased that the Ahmadiyya Community is spreading the beautiful theme of ‘Love for All, Hatred for None’ among the people.
From the above testimonials shared by esteemed individuals from various walks of life, it becomes evident that reading the book World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace offers valuable guidance towards achieving lasting world peace.
