PUBLISHER'S NOTE
"The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam" is a well known essay on Islam by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam. The original was written in order to be read at a Conference of Great Religions held at Lahore on December 26-29, 1896. It has since served as an introduction to Islam for seekers of religious knowledge and truth in different parts of the world. It deals with the following five broad themes set by the moderators of the Conference:
1. The physical, moral and spiritual states of man
2. What is the state of man after death?
3. The object of man's life and the means of its attainment,
4. The operation of the practical ordinances of the Law in this life
and the next
5. Sources of Divine knowledge.
It has been published widely in several languages in different countries. The present revised edition was translated by the late Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan with meticulous care and faithfulness to the original text which was lacking in previous English translations.
Quranic references herein cite chapter and verse. In some renderings, the opening verse (i.e.: "Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Rahim" - In the name of Allah - the Gracious - the Merciful) is not counted and readers using such editions should keep this point in mind to obtain the relevant reference.
