The Descent of the Messiah — Page xx
We have not transliterated Arabic words which have become part of English language, e. g. Islam, Mahdi, Quran, Hijra, Ulema, etc. Please note that the author of Nūzūlul-Masīḥ has provided extensive footnotes throughout the main text, some of which run several pages long. To accommodate the length of these footnotes, they have been placed at the end of the text and are now presented as separate chapters. Subfootnotes are presented as standard footnotes in these separate chapters where they have appeared in the original text. A large part of The Descent of the Messiah (Nūzūlul-Masīḥ) comprises tables where details of various miracles are discussed. Every sign ends with the Promised Messiahas listing witnesses to events. All references given in footnotes for Barāhīn-e-Ahmadiyya are for the English translation of the book. The Publishers
