You are welcome to RENAISSANCE ISLAM. This blog provides a pictorial and written record of the renaissance of Islam in America, which was and still is in its pure essence, without any cultural or religious innovations that may disfigure its original teachings.
RENAISSANCE ISLAM offers a clear presentation of Islam's wisdom and philosophy as derived from the Holy Qur'an, the recorded practice of the Holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, whom we believe is the Promised Messiah and Mahdi.
RENAISSANCE ISLAM will enunciate the view point of the Muslims who believe in the Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
I grow up in Michigan where I learned how to fish, shoot and hunt. I was surrounded by loving family members who did the same. Served two years in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam Era. I traveled extensively during my eighteen month military duty in Europe. After military service I accepted Islam as my religion and way of life via the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community at 23 years of age. Performing the rites of Al-Hajj to Mecca and Medina in 1973-74 was the beginning of my travels in countries where Islam and Muslims were a significant part of the population. I also lived in Kumasi, Ghana for a period of time.
My service in the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam has been continuous since 1969, serving in areas of Administration, Education and Finance by the Grace and Mercy of Allah.
My importance is to be unimportant.
This photo was taken in Rabwah, Pakistan about 1977-78. We were at a dinner party hosted by M.S. Shahid who, was a Chief Missionary of the USA Jamaat. Five of his children are in this photo.
