When we read this writing and reflect upon the Muslim world today, we find a robust analysis that holds true even after 120 years: events have unfolded exactly as the Promised Messiah as foretold. Lujjatun-N u r is an excellent introduction to the beliefs of Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as especially for those who can speak Arabic and Persian, of course now it is being made available in English. The Promised Messiah’s Arabic contains a great amount of allusion to verses of the Holy Quran, A h ad i th and other well- known phrases found in Islamic literature. In some cases the translation cannot always fully capture the meaning of the Arabic phrase; therefore, a brief footnote is given to assist the reader. The English translation was carried out by Saeed-ur-Rahman and revised by Raja Ata-ul-Mannan. Valuable services were rendered by Reem Shraiky, Ibrahim Ikhlaf, Rubina Nasser and Nauman Ahmad Hadi. May Allah reward them all. A m i n. Al- Ha j Munir-ud-Din Shams Additional Wak i l-ut-Ta s n i f January 2022
