It is worse than you think Chief of MI6 and former Soviet leader raise alarm
Hadith-e-Rasul – Sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa
The best among you Hazrat Aisha, Allah be pleased with her, relates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “The best among you is the one who is best to his family and I am the best of those who are good to their families.” (Sunan Abi Dawood)

Iformer Soviet leader and Sir Alex Younger, n the past week, Mikhail Gorbachev,
Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service for the UK (MI6) have both warned of critical global tensions that can spur into an international disaster. Mikhail Gorbachev, in an interview with the BBC, described the relationship between nations as putting the world in “colossal danger” due to the risk of nuclear weapons. The former general secretary for the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union) called for all countries to push for the destruction of nuclear arsenal, noting, “As long as weapons
of mass destruction exist, primarily nuclear weapons, the danger is colossal.” To destroy all weapons is “to save ourselves and our planet”, he expressed. Another word of warning was given during the first ever recorded interview by a serving chief of MI6. Sir Alex Younger warned that the world is as fragile as “at least since the end of the Cold War” and that global tensions were making the world less safe. He said that it “does feel like we’re at some sort of high point.” He further said, “I think that there is a lot of brinkmanship going on”. These alarms have recently been raised,
within the past week. However, the concern of nuclear warfare and the dangers of wrestling politics across the world has been an ongoing, tireless and relentless message by the leader of Islam Ahmadiyyat, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, may Allah be his Helper. Those who have been following his messages, which he delivers across the world in parliaments and institutions, will, in fact, not perceive Gorbachev’s or the chief ’s warnings as novel or as new revelations.

Just observe how the Quran has expounded in its own words and manner this one concept alone – an injunction that is present in the Torah as well – with such clarity and detail, supported by arguments and proofs. This is the very miracle of the Quran, in that it does not leave its follower to depend on anything else, rather makes them independent of all else, by putting forth its own arguments and proofs as well. The Holy Quran has put forth its injunctions along with their reasoning and has furnished sound logic for each and every commandment individually. As such, these are two clear differences between the Torah and the Quran. The former book does not stand by a methodology that encourages rationality and when it makes a claim, one is compelled to search for the arguments themselves. The latter, however, reinforces its claim with arguments of every kind and then presents them as well. It does not force others to believe in the commandments of God, but rather moves them to proclaim with their own mouths that they concede to the truth of its teachings. It does Continued on page 2
