Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, The Promised
Messiah, peace be upon him.
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was born on
February 13, 1835 in Qadian, India. As a young man, he was deeply immersed in
the study of the Holy Quran and often was seen at the mosque in ardent
supplication, so much so that people used to call him 'Maseetar', a person who
has fallen in love with the mosque.
In 1882, Hazrat Ahmad, peace be upon him,
first learnt by revelation that Allah had commissioned him to be the Divine
Reformer and that a long and arduous task lay ahead.
In 1889, under the Divine command of God,
he established a religious organization known as the Ahmadiyya Movement in
Islam. He was bestowed with Divine revelations. One of his revelations was, “I
shall give you a large party of Islam.” At that time, only a handful of people
accepted Ahmadiyyat, but today the number of followers of Hazrat Ahmad, peace be
upon him, exceed 100 million worldwide in over 170 countries.
Hazrat Ahmad, peace be upon him, wrote 85
books to establish the supremacy of Islam over all other faiths, including his
masterpiece treatise Braheen-i-Ahmadiyya.
At 10:30 in the morning on May 26, 1908,
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, peace be upon him, breathed his last.
