About

Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Angle is written by members of the Muslim Writers Guild of America, an auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association USA. The Guild responds to coverage of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.

More than 100 years ago, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, founder of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and claimant to the office of the Promised Messiah, declared that the tenets of Islam dictate that “jihad of the pen” would replace the “jihad of the sword.” Ahmad penned more than 90 books and tens of thousands of letters and in doing so, he would be bestowed with the title of “King of the Pen.”

The Guild follows in these footsteps.
