The Light was established in December 1921 in Lahore as the English magazine of the Centre of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement. It had a long and illustrious history in India and then (after partition in 1947) in Pakistan. In 1990 The Light had to cease publication in Pakistan due to government measures against Ahmadiyya publications.

Since September 1991, its publication has been done by the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha`at Islam Lahore U.S.A. (AAIIL, U.S.A.) from Columbus, Ohio.

The Islamic Review was a world-famous monthly published by the Woking Muslim Mission in England from 1913 for over fifty years. During the 1980s it was revived by the AAIIL, U.S.A. When The Light was moved to the U.S.A. from Pakistan, the Islamic Review title was merged with it to create The Light and Islamic Review.
