by Sayed Hameedullah Nusrat Pasha This book is about the life of Hazrat Mir Muhammad Ismail^(ra) (1881-1947), a companion of the Promised Messiah^(as). Hazrat Mir Muhammad Ismail^(ra) was one of the many Ashab of the Mahdi, and thus, a member of the blessed party of the Akharin. His real name was Sayyed Muhammad Ismail. In Delhi, the Sayyeds, or members of the physical progeny of the Holy Prophet^(sa) were, out of sheer reverence, called Mir or Khwaja, both of which are customary titles of honour. Other than being a disciple and companion of the Promised Messiah^(as), Hazrat Mir Muhammad Ismail^(ra) also had the rare privilege of being his brother-in-law. He was the brother of Hazrat Anmmān Jān, Sayyeda Nusrat Jahan Begum^(ra)—the esteemed wife of the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^(as) of Qadian.
