This vision of the Promised Messiah as clearly<br />

shows Islam Ahmadiyyat spreading through<br />

London and Britain. Ahmadiyyat has shown<br />

the truth to the people of the West through<br />

the hand of Khilafat; London has become<br />

the centre for the community and hundreds<br />

of Englishmen and women have already<br />

embraced Ahmadiyyat to be the truth and<br />

accepted Islam Ahmadiyyat as a result.<br />

The Promised Messiah as also had another<br />

vision of spreading Islam to the west of the<br />

world, where the name of Islam had not yet<br />

fully been established ‘I will convey thy<br />

message to reach the ends of the Earth.’<br />

The Promised Messiah as had conveyed this<br />

message of truth during his own lifetime,<br />

he had lit the light of Islam in the West, by<br />

writing works which by the grace of Allah<br />

spread all over the world.<br />

The Wembley Conference 1924<br />

By Naila Athar<br />

With the recent Conference of<br />

World Religions held at Guildhall,<br />

it is important for one to review<br />

the history behind such conference. Whilst<br />

most of us have heard of the Conference<br />

of World Religions held in India in which<br />

the paper of the Promised Messiah as titled<br />

“The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam”<br />
