RENAISSANCE ISLAM

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

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.

Facebook | My Photos - As I see the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community: Early Years

Historic photographs of early members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in America.

This is a photo of Aliyya Ali. She was the first African American to accept Ahmadiyya, the true Islam, which was in 1921. Aliya was originally from Kenner, LA and on a visit to Chicago she heard about Ahmadiyya. As a result she paid a visit to the mosque at 4448 South Wabash. Her visit marked the beginning of African Americans into its fold. Aliyya Ali subsequently established her permanent residents in Chicago and the rest is history.
