OverviewTitle: Islam, Ahmadiyyat, and the Crisis of Finality This book confronts one of the most contentious and enduring questions in modern Islamic thought: the claim of prophethood by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the theological, political, and existential crisis it sparked across the Muslim world. Islam, Ahmadiyyat, and the Crisis of Finality is not a polemic, nor is it an apologetic treatise. Instead, it is a deeply researched, strategically framed exploration of what it means for a faith to police its boundaries-and what it costs to do so. It delves into the heart of the debate over Khatm-e-Nubuwwat-the Finality of Prophethood-and how that single Qur'anic phrase has become the litmus test of orthodoxy, loyalty, and even legality in many Muslim-majority societies. From the esoteric claims of Ahmadi theology to the ferocious backlash from Sunni and Shia scholars alike, this book analyzes the crisis in a multidimensional framework: theological, historical, sociopolitical, legal, and emotional. It addresses not only the core doctrinal differences but also the lived realities of exclusion, exile, and identity for millions of Ahmadis around the world. The book is equally attentive to the moral and legal dilemmas faced by Muslim-majority states-most notably Pakistan-in defining who gets to be called a Muslim. It offers a sober look at how religious orthodoxy, when legislated by the state, can blur the line between theological clarity and institutional oppression. At a time when the global Muslim ummah faces mounting external pressures and deep internal fragmentation, this work asks an urgent question: Can the Muslim world engage theological disagreement without erasing compassion-or collapsing into silence and schism? Accessible to scholars, students, interfaith leaders, curious Muslims, and Ahmadis alike, this book provides not only a clear exposition of the issues but a strategic framework for future dialogue-one rooted in scholarship, empathy, and integrity. Whether you are seeking understanding, clarity, or a pathway toward respectful disagreement, this book is an essential companion in navigating one of the most emotionally charged and theologically complex debates in the modern Islamic world.
