Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen – Khalifatul Masih I – The Way of the Righteous — Page 210
The Author Syed Hasanat Ahmad hails from a distinguished family of Khawaja Mir Dard - the same family whose illustrious scion was Mir Nasir Nawab and whose illustrious daughter became the second wife of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad - The Primised Messiah as. She was later known as Hadhrat Umm-ul-Momineen. Both parents of the author, Haafiz Syed Shafi Ahmad and Quersha Sultana (better known as Begum Shafi) were known journalists. However, they always regarded Ahmadiyyat as their chief distinction. Haafiz Syed Shafi Ahmad also enjoyed a proud distinction that he, as a boy of 13, had the great luck of having access to the company of Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as and ran errands for his master. Later, Haafiz Syed Shafi Ahmad was among the pioneers who wrote about forty books on Ahmadiyyat and especially on the great mission of the Promised Messiah as. His elder brother, Dr. Syed Barakaat Ahmad, had the honour of doing the English rendering of Mazhab ke naam per khoon (Murder in the Name of Allah) by our beloved Imam, Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih IV rta. His younger sister, Mrs. Naseem Saeed, wrote biographical sketch on the Promised Messiah ’ s daughter, Hadhrat Nawab Mubaraka Begum and Khutoot-i-Imam Banaam-i- Ghulaam – an interesting anthology of correspondences between Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV rta and Dr. Syed Barakaat Ahmad and Syed Hasanat Ahmad. The author also enjoys a unique distinction, when Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV rta in his Jama ‘ at ’ s Centennial Anniversary speech at the 1989 Annual Jalsa of the United Kingdom mentioned him by name and complimented him for his contacts that he had developed in Canada.
