Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Parts I & II — Page 170
BARĀHĪN-E-AHMADIYYA Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas of Qadian claimed to be the same Promised Messiah and Mahdi that the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa prophesied would come to rejuvenate Islam and restore its original lustre. During his early life, Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas saw a dream in which he handed a book of his own authorship to the Holy Prophetsa. As soon as the book touched the Holy Prophet's blessed hand, it transformed into a beautiful, honey-filled fruit which was then used to revive a dead person lying nearby. The Promised Messiahas was inspired with the following interpretation: Allah the Almighty then put it in my mind that the dead person in my dream was Islam and that Allah the Almighty would revive it at my hands through the spiritual power of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. It is this very book-Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya-which is to be instrumental in revitalizing Islam in the latter days in accordance with the grand prophecy of the Holy Prophets. Its subject matter is of universal importance and, as such, it will prove to be a source of lasting value for all readers. The significance of Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya cannot be overstated.
