The Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet are there for us as vital tools of guidance and direction.” “Ahmadis globally are known for preaching oneness of Allah, unity of Islam and peaceful co-existence. These are the preachings of the worldwide head of Ahmadiyya Community, as he continues to address world leaders on the need to embrace peaceful co-existence and avert World War 3.” ” The Jama’at is also known for providing humanitarian services to the needy, homeless and the less privileged across the world.
