A unique book is being launched at The London Book Fair by one of the oldest Islamic Publishers.

To mark the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II the book Tofah-e-Qaisariyyah, meaning a Gift for the Queen, written in 1897 by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, is being launched translated in English.

Imam Ataul Mujeeb Rashed, Imam of The London Mosque – the first mosque built in London in 1924 – will speak on the visionary qualities of the author who founded the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, emphasised the Islamic duty of Muslim to be loyal subjects, and invited the Queen to study the true teachings of Islam.

This message, first sent out by the author at the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897, is being revived by his present day Caliph, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, for the Diamond Jubilee this year.

Imam Rashed said:

“Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a profound scholar and his books provide a vibrant analysis of Islamic teachings. It is particularly appropriate that, at this moment in time, when we mark the Diamond Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II, we also have the opportunity to read in English a book that marked the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. It provides a fascinating insight into a bygone era, but is also a testament to the living faith of Islam that places service to one’s country as one of its tenets.”

Stand W105 features displays of the Holy Quran that has been published into 74 languages, including Braille.
Islam International Publications is a global company that has been publishing books on Islam for more than a hundred years. Its first press was established in India more than a century ago, and now its printing presses and outlets span 198 countries across the globe.

The Imam will be available for media interviews after the launch.
