Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Part IV — Page xvii
Introduction by Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V, may Allah the Almighty help him with His powerful support Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah as, authored and published Part IV of Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya in 1884, two years after the publication of Part III. As with earlier volumes, he continues to advance strong arguments in support of the divine origin of the Holy Quran and the Prophethood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Through sound logic and argumentation, the Promised Messiah as establishes the truth of Islam by not only elucidating the Faith’s unique qualities but by also placing them in stark contrast to the irrational doctrines of the Jews, Christians, Hindus, and Brahm u Sam a jists. To this end, he devotes a large portion of the book to enumerating the unequalled beauties of S u rah al-F a ti h ah as proof of its divine authorship. While writing Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, Part IV, the Promised Messiah as had started receiving revelations from Allah the Almighty in abundance. In addition to attesting to his spiritual status, these rev- elations laid the foundation for the spiritual movement which was to come. Some highlights of these revelations are presented below.
