The World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat and Fifth Successor of the Promised Messiah, His Holiness, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad has said:

“First of all, I would like to offer congratulations to Pope Francis I and to Catholics across the world. May the appointment of the new Pope prove to be blessed not just for Christians but for all people across the globe. May the new Pope lead the Church towards the true teachings of Christianity.

I hope and pray that in the forthcoming era the Pope uses his influence to develop peace and harmony in the world. There is a great need to join together upon our common teachings and particularly upon the Unity of God.

Rather than increase division, the world desperately needs unity and compassion. This is something that I wrote to Pope Benedict XVI in a letter I sent to him in 2011.

In my letter to the Pope I also requested him to use his great influence to bring the people of the world together towards peace, reconciliation and mutual understanding and to strive to prevent the world from destruction. I send the same message to the new Pope as well.

In terms of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, we have always been at the forefront of promoting inter-faith harmony and striving for peace. We always co-operate with all people and organisations who desire peace and tolerance and will forever continue to do so.

Once again I congratulate Pope Francis and the Catholic Church and pray that the appointment proves to be a source of peace for the entire world.”

  1. It is indeed very disturbing to find that there are of late so much of mistrust, hatred, acrimony and animosity around the world among people of different faiths, more so because of utter lack of understanding. God does not favour disorder, disunity and infighting on this earth. It is time for the world to get rcomment_ID of this environment of hatred and work for peace and tranquility in line with the Islamic teachings. It is here that the Khalifa of Islam’s advocacy for inter-faith dialogues is commendable.In fact, our motto should be ‘Love for all, hatred for none’. I totally endorse the Khalifa’s initiative to bring about better understanding and mutual respects between different faiths.

  2. The people in the world are in desperate need of representatives who are sincere, that is who mean what they say and do what they preach. May the new pope proof to be one of such noble a character and may God gucomment_IDe him to stand up for His cause only. I personally follow the kalif of the Ahmadiyya Community and find this reliability in him, but those who are lead by the pope, may they be lead towards moral progress according to their capacities, Amen.
