Audio of Shahid Kamal at Tooting Islamic Centre

Posted on by

This was a brief, impromptu talk at the Tooting Islamic Centre. It includes around half an hour of Q&A, with a Qadiani who said “I’m an Ahmadi Muslim”. We welcomed him and I commended him on his presence. He referred to us as his “brothers”. There’s always a chance when you hear that.

Jazakallah khayr to all the Muslim brothers who were so hospitable and especially to Shaykh Suliman Gani who invited me.

Introduced by Shaykh Suliman, I reflected again on my reversion to Islam. Lots of people have heard about Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, but most of the audience had little knowledge about Ahmadiyya. I’m working on changing that, insha’Allah, through these talks at various mosques. I hope that when Ahmadis/Mirzais realise that Islam is not a threat to them, rather, that Islam is their birthright and that they will be welcomed as brothers and sisters when they revert, more will start appearing, just as more and more are reverting after researching Ahmadiyya and Islam with an open mind on-line. Wallah, the Internet was the worst thing that could ever happen to Qadianism.

I hope you’ll enjoy the talk.

Audio From “A Fracture in Belief”

Here is the audio from my talk at the Morden Islamic Centre last Saturday. There is an introductory piece by Mr. Nasim, one of the Centre’s Committee members. (I start talking about 8 minutes in.)

It’s the first time I’ve spoken in public about some of my reasons for reverting to Islam and some of the thinking I went through before my belief in Ahmadiyya finally fractured.

I’ve been asked to speak at other mosques and insha’Allah I will consider these requests. There’s no shortage of projects, alhamdulillah.

A Fracture In Belief

I’d like to thank all the brothers at Morden Islamic Centre for making this possible and for giving us such a warm reception and also for going out of their way to drop us off home again. Jazakallah khayr.

I’d love to have your feedback insha’Allah. (All abusive messages or threats will just be ignored.)
