Introduction
We are passing through a crucial time in history where the world is increasingly segregated and growing anxious of one another. Global strife and catastrophe seem likely, if not inevitable, and yet a solution for peace and reconciliation exists and can be found in practice. This book is a collection of the four lectures that His Holiness, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, delivered during his 2018 tour of North and Central America.
During this visit, His Holiness delivered luminary speeches at the inaugurations of mosques in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Virginia. He also gave a historic address in Guatemala, launching the Nasir Hospital, a project steered by the efforts of Humanity First.
His Holiness explains how the establishment of mosques and hospitals helps dispel the wrongful misconceptions held about Islam and its founder, Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. The true spirit of worship and the real purpose of mosques went missing for centuries, but is being revived by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah(as) and his Community today. With the world heading to the brink of disaster, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad makes a call for lasting peace through the establishment of mutual religious tolerance and human compassion. By uniting in prayers to God Almighty and by discharging our responsibilities to our fellow neighbours, we are able to fulfil our true purpose in life. In doing so, we try our best to bring about the peaceful changes needed in the world today.
