By Muhammad Zafrulla Khan This concisely written text presents the teachings of Islam and their distinct superiority over various Articles that make up the Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations and universally acclaimed as the greater charter of freedom. The author explains how 1400 years ago, Islam emancipated the poor and oppressed and gave the world the basic prescription for the respect and value of all human beings irrespective of class, colour or creed. Those instructions contained in the Holy Qur'an remain as relevant today as they were at the time that it was revealed. However, with the passage of time, some parts of Muslim society neglected Qur'anic teachings with an inevitable decline in moral standards. The author however concludes on an optimistic note that the revival of Islam is happening and with it a close adherence to the values laid out in the Holy Qur'an US$7.00 [Order] |

Ahmadiyah to file protest against sect ban
The Jakarta Post, Palembang
Islamic minority sect Jamaah Ahmadiyah plans to file a protest to the government against the gubernatorial ban in South Sumatra put in place earlier this week.
Yan Husein Lamardi, a member of Ahmadiyah’s advocating team, said the regional administration, unlike the central government, had no authority to issue the ban.
The government, he said, had only issued joint ministerial decree on Ahmadiyah’s activities and nothing about ban.
“No prohibition was stated in the decree,” Yan said, as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com
South Sumatra governor Mahyuddin N.S. issued a decree Monday banning Islamic minority sect Ahmadiyah and any activities of the Indonesian Jamaah Ahmadiyah (JAI) organization from the region.
The governor said the decree was made in accordance with the ministerial decree ordering the sect to stop all religious activities or face charges for blaspheming Islam.
Yan said Ahmadiyah had obeyed the decree and was no longer propagating the sect’s teachings.
“We no longer mention that there is another prophet after Prophet Muhammad in our sermons,” he said.
Ahmadiyah will also protest against violence the sect has been suffering since the issuance of the ministerial decree. Yan said that the sect had suffered at least 24 attacks since the ministerial decree issued two months ago. (dre)
