Book launch: World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace
Book Title: World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace
The world is passing through very turbulent times. The global economic crisis continues to manifest newer and graver dangers almost every week. The similarities to the period just before the Second World War continue to be cited and it seems clear that events are moving the world at an unprecedented pace towards a horrific third world war. There is an overwhelming sense that things are quickly getting out of control and the people are looking for someone to step on to the stage to offer concrete, solid, guidance in which they can have confidence and that speaks to their heart and mind alike and gives them hope that there is a path that can lead to peace. The consequences of a nuclear war are so catastrophic that none dare even think about them.
This new book published in the UK (2013) addresses the growing threats to the world peace and offers its solution through Islamic teachings. The book was released by Islam International Publications Ltd (UK), and introduced in Thailand by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Thailand, available through
www.alislam.org .
In this book, the publishers have gathered the guidance put forth by His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Over the past several years, as events have unfolded, he has been fearless in announcing to the world where things are heading—not to create alarm but to prepare them to think about how the world has arrived in this state of being and how it can avert disaster and chart a course to peace and security for all the people that inhabit this global village. He has forthrightly proclaimed that the only way to insure peace is for the world to adopt the ways of humility and justice and to humbly, submissively, turn to God; for man to become humane; for the strong to treat the weak with dignity and respect and justice and for the weak and poor to also to show gratitude and adopt the ways of truth and righteousness and for all to turn to their Creator in utter humility and total sincerity.
In addition to his holiness speeches, the book also included complete versions of letters written by his holiness to the world leaders. For instance, to Premier Wen Jiabao of the State of the People’s Republic of China, he wrote:
It is my prayer that the leaders of the world act with wisdom and do not allow mutual enmities between nations and people on a small-scale to erupt into a global conflict.
The book will be launched and introduced by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Thailand during its International Peace Symposium “The Pathway to Peace” to be held on 21 Nov. 2013 at the Foreign Correspondent’s Club Thailand (FCCT) Chidlom (Bangkok). Free copies will be available for the participants.
