ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The Promised sonra of the Promised Messiah
and Mahdias; the manifest Sign of Allah, the
Almighty; the Word of God whose advent was
prophesied by the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa and the
Promised Messiahas as well as the past Prophets; a
Star in the spiritual firmament for the like of which
the world has to wait for hundreds of years to appear;
the man of God, crowned with a spiritual hallo from
which radiated such scintillating rays of light as
would instil spiritual life into his followers and
captivate and enthral those who were not fortunate to
ii
follow him; an orator of such phenomenal quality that
his speeches would make his audience stay put for
hours on end, come rain or shine, deep into the late
hours of the evenings while words flowed from his
tongue like honey dripping into their ears to reach the
depths of their soul to fill them with knowledge and
invigorate their faith; the ocean of Divine and secular
knowledge; the Voice Articulate of the age; without
doubt the greatest genius of the 20th century; a man of
phenomenal intelligence and memory; an epitome of
the qualities of leadership; the one whose versatility
cannot be comprehended—Hadrat Mirza Bashiruddin
Mahmud Ahmadra (1889-1965), Muslih Mau‘ud (the
Promised Reformer) was the eldest son and the
second successor (Khalifa) of the Promised Messiahas.
He took charge of the Ahmadiyya Jama‘at at the
young age of 25 when the Jama‘at was still in its
infancy and nourished it to its maturity for more than
50 years with his spiritual guidance, prayers, tears, toil
and blood. Not only did he fortify the foundations of
the community laid down by the Promised Messiahas,
but expanded the structure of the Jama‘at by initiating
various schemes, organizations, and programs taking
his inspiration from the Promised Messiahas and under
the Divine guidance. His foremost concern, to which
he devoted all his life, was to accomplish the mission
of the Promised Messiah—the daunting task of
spreading the message of true Islam in its pristine
iii
purity to the ends of the world. To achieve this, he
initiated Ta r k-e-Jad d through which spread, and
h i i
continues to spread, the missionary work all over the
globe. His acute intelligence, keen intellect, deep and
extensive scholarship and above all his God-given
knowledge enabled him to produce a vast corpus of
writings, speeches etc. His oeuvre is so vast that it
will take many years to see the light of publication.
When the promised Messiahas fervently prayed
to God to grant him a Sign in support of Islam, Allah
gave him the good tiding about this son of his and
said:
"…He will be extremely intelligent … and
will be filled with secular and spiritual
knowledge … Son, delight of the heart, high
ranking, noble; a manifestation of the First
and the Last, of the True and the High; as if
Allah has descended from heaven. Behold a
light cometh. We shall pour our spirit into
him…" [Revelation of 20th February 1886]*

* Translation from Urdu by Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan in
his English translation of Tadhkirah—the book containing
dreams, visions and verbal revelations vouchsafed to the
Promised Messiahas. [Publisher]

NOTE BY THE TRANSLATOR

In delivering a speech, the speaker has often to
repeat his points in order to impress them upon his
audience. The same may, to some extent, be necessary
when the speech or its translation has to be published,
but not to the extent to which it seems necessary while
speaking. I have, therefore, omitted repetitions, which
might have appeared wearisome to the reader. I have
also, for the sake of idiom, occasionally departed from
the literal text while preserving or explaining the
sense. In one or two places I have omitted
illustrations.
