A Note to Readers The bringing together of this collection of documents is not meant to be anything other than a completely faithful reprinting of orig- inal source materials that are of the utmost historical importance. Except for some minor formatting and lexical changes, all the documents reprinted here have been done so in their closest origi- nal form with all words, spellings, compositional details, and even errors and inconsistencies left preserved and uncorrected so that the past can speak directly to the reader. In certain instances, passages from the books of the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as , and the writings of the then head of the community, Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad ra have been quoted with certain errors in the text. As a remedy to this, the correct excerpts have been reproduced in a series of endnotes along with their English translations, which are not provided in the original source material.
