The Criterion for Religions (Book) English rendering of ''Mi‘yarul Madhahib'' (Urdu 1895) The book, ''the Criterion of Religions'', was written and published in 1895 by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Ahmad believed that Islam was a living faith and the only faith by following which man could establish contact with his Creator and enter into communion with Him. The teachings contained in the Holy Quran and the Law promulgated by Islam were designed to raise man to moral, intellectual and spiritual perfection. Comparing Islam with other religions, Ahmad writes: "Islam's understanding of God is very simple and clear, and is in keeping with human nature. Even if the books of all other religions were to disappear along with all of their teachings and concepts, God, towards Whom the Holy Quran leads, would still be clearly reflected in the mirror of the laws of nature, and His Might and Wisdom, shall be found glowing in every particle." (page 30)〔(The Criterion for Religions, by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1895) )〕 This English Edition was Published in 2007, by: ''Islam International Publications Ltd''. Islamabad, Sheephatch Lane, Tilford, Surrey, United Kingdom GU10 2AQ. (ISBN 1 85372 863 2). ==Why deify a man== Ahmad asks, how could the British Government, consisting of people so enlightened subscribe to a religion, :"that deifies a man and thus detracts from the self-evident, eternal and immutable glory of the true God?... Nevertheless, I am hopeful that He will guide this courageous Government towards the right path. Our prayer for this Government is as much for its worldly prosperity as for the hereafter. No wonder therefore if we do witness the effect of this prayer.(p-6) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Criterion for Religions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
