Pioneers of Introducing Islam to the West — The Ahmadiyya Anjuman Lahore
This book relates in brief the pioneering work of Maulana Muhammad Ali and Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din, leaders of the Lahore Ahmadiyya, in introducing the West to the teachings of Islam. The first part shows how Maulana Muhammad Ali made accessible to the West for the first time an English translation of the Quran by a Muslim in 1917. Then it traces the connection of four later Muslim translations (those by Marmaduke Pickthall, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, ‘Shakir’, and Muhammad Asad) with Maulana Muhammad Ali. The second part deals with the establishment of the Woking Muslim Mission by Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din in 1913, which became the national centre of Islamic activity in Britain and is the most important part of the Muslim heritage of Britain.
The Ahmadiyya Case of South Africa
The Ahmadiyya Case of South Africa is an account of the litigation in Cape Town between Muslims of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement and local Sunni Muslim religious bodies which ended in November 1985 with the court judgment declaring the Lahore Ahmadiyya to be Muslims. The case was instituted by Lahore Ahmadiyya members as they were being defamed as unbelievers and apostates by the local anti-Ahmadiyya Ulama and denied their religious rights as Muslims. During the litigation the anti-Ahmadiyya parties, the defendants, had the support of the topmost theological and legal experts from Pakistan where the Ahmadiyya are officially branded as non-Muslims by law. But the defendants and their expert witnesses never had the intention of appearing in court as their false propaganda could never succeed in a fair and impartial forum. This book contains a history of the case and reactions to the judgment. It reproduces the text of the judgment, and consists mostly of the extensive documentary evidence submitted by the Lahore Ahmadiyya side, prepared by Maulana Hafiz Sher Mohammad and translated into English by Zahid Aziz.

A Handbook of Islam
A Handbook of Islam is an abridged edition of the work The Religion of Islam, a renowned research work first published in 1936, with subsequent editions published till the present time. The Religion of Islam is a comprehensive book which divides its extensive treatment of Islam into three parts: (1) the sources of Islam, (2) the principles or doctrines of Islam, and (3) the practices of Islam relating to both the spiritual and the material aspects of human life. In this abridgment, discussions on the more advanced topics in The Religion of Islam have been omitted as being of interest only to scholars and researchers, and certain matters of detail have been condensed. The formatting design has been amended, using indented quotations and notes at ends of chapters, to make the book easier to read for the ordinary reader.

The True Succession
This book has been published at the centenary of the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha‘at Islam, or Ahmadiyya Association for the Propagation of Islam, known also as the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement, which was founded at Lahore in May 1914. It is the result of new research and brings to light some forgotten and buried material. It shows that the Lahore Ahmadiyya is a direct continuation of the Ahmadiyya Movement as founded by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (d. 1908) and as led afterwards by his successor Hazrat Maulana Nur-ud-Din (d. 1914). It seeks to preserve the beliefs, mission and goals of this Movement as set down by these two guiding lights.

The Ahmadis and the Politics of Religious Exclusion in Pakistan
This path-breaking work traces the history of the political exclusion of the Ahmadiyya religious minority in Pakistan by drawing on revealing new sources. This volume is the first-ever scholarly study of the declassified material of the court of inquiry that produced the Munir-Kiyani report of 1954, and the proceedings of the national assembly that declared the Ahmadis as non-Muslims through the second constitutional amendment in 1974. The book chronicles the details of anti-Ahmadi violence and the legal and administrative measures adopted against them, and also addresses wider issues of politics of Islam in postcolonial Muslim nation-states and their disputative engagements with the ideas of modernity and citizenship.
