Publishers' Note Eik Ghalațī Kā Izāla (A Misconception Removed)- written by Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, the Promised Messiah and Mahdias, in 1901-deals with some misconceptions regarding his claim. The Promised Messiahas goes into exhaustive detail to define the true nature of his status as a Prophet and Mes- senger of God, and explains at length how his Prophethood does not in any way contravene the concept of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat (the Finality of the Prophethood of Muhammadsa). Apart from resolving once and for all the extremely vi- tal and contentious issue of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat, Eik Ghalațī Kā Izāla is also the last word in settling the dis- pute between those who believe the Promised Messiahas to be a Prophet of God and those who do not. This English rendering was done by Mr. Munawar Ahmad Saeed (USA). It has gone through several revisions the first of which was done by Dr. Rasheed S. Azam (USA). The manuscript has also been thoroughly and painstakingly revised at Wakālat Taşnīf Rabwah, for which I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Muhammad Shafiq Sehgal, Raja A. Mannan and Tahir Mahmood Mubashar. We are also grateful to Mirza Anas Ahmad Wakīlul Isha'at Rabwah and his team specially Mr. Shahid V
