X HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD the Promised Messiah and Mahdi of the latter days, awaited by all world religions. In 2012, on the auspicious occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesy, Queen Elizabeth II, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community published the English translation of Tohfa-e- Qaisariyyah [A Gift for the Queen]. Now, Allah the Exalted has enabled us to publish the English translation of Sitāra-e-Qaisarah [Star of the Empress]. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was established in the United Kingdom in 1913 and had the honour of building London's first ever mosque, known as the Fazl Mosque or the London Mosque. This book was translated from Urdu into English by Sharmeen Butt and the initial review was done by Mohamed Arshad Ahmedi. The text was revised and prepared for print by Ayyaz Mahmood Khan. May Allah the Exalted reward them all abundantly. Amin. Munir-ud-Din Shams Additional Vakīlut-Taşnīf London, United Kingdom April 2013
