" From Sufism to Ahmadiyya: A Muslim Minority Movement in South Asia
is an important book on an area of history that is not well covered. It will be essential reading for all who work on Pakistan or on modern South Asian Islam.

~American Historical Review
"
From Sufism to Ahmadiyya is among the finest works on Islam in modern South Asia that exhibits a remarkable assemblage of intellectual, institutional, and social history. And while focused on a modern context, Khan's command over pre-modern Muslim intellectual traditions shines throughout the book.

~Nova Religio
"Khan examines the origins of the controversial South Asian Ahmadi Islam movement and its progression from a Sufistyle brotherhood to a major international organisation. He explores the persecution members of this movement have faced from other Muslim sects, studying how this experience has shaped Ahmadi identity. 57.5 Oct.-Nov. 2015"
~Survival
"Overall From Sufism to Ahmadiyya adopts a position of responsible scholarly scrutiny to develop several interesting perspectives that shed new light on a sensitive topic."
~The Muslim World Book Review
"Offers a fresh and original historical analysis of the Jama'at-i Ahmadiyya based on a detailed reading and interpretation of original sources, some of which are made available to an English readership for the first time."
~Michael Nijhawan, York University
"Adil Hussain Khan provides a remarkably comprehensive picture of the Ahmadiyya, examining both the specific aspects of internal development of the movement and also its involvement in modern global developments. His analysis of the evolution of a major religious movement from an old-style brotherhood into a modern politicized organization will be of help to all who are interested in the modern history of religious organizations."
~John Voll, Georgetown University
