Real Revolution — Page iii
PUBLISHERS' NOTE. This is a translation of a lecture delivered by. Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad Khalifatul Masih II at the Annual Gathering of the Ahmadiyya Movement at Qadian on December 28, 1937. . In Urdu this lecture was published in book form in 1938 under the title Inqilab-i-Haqiqi. To reach a wider circle of readers, especially in foreign lands, it is now published in English, for it deals with questions of which the importance for Muslims all over the world, and for others interested in philosophy and religion, remains undiminished. . Islam is the REAL REVOLUTION that will solve the baffling problems which confront mankind today, more acutely perhaps than ever before in human history. The mission of the Ahmadiyya Movement is to present this solution before the whole world in its proper perspective; and while putting this book in the hands of readers accessible through the medium of English, we pray that Allah, in His unbounded grace and mercy, may give us the strength to fulfil this mission. . We feel grateful to Sufi A. Q. NIAZ who translated this book from Urdu into English and our thanks are due to him for this labour. . E
