The book indeed is quite an accurate account of the life Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. It not only deals with historical background issues, but also his claims, position on Islamic principles as well as his project regeneration of the religion (ie. Islam) which was being lost to the material world.

As for the reviewer who claims that he was "bored", this is only indicative of his level of insight towards spiritual matters. The book is clear, consise and well supported with references from the works of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Any unbiased reader interested in the subject will not be disappointed!

The author, Maulana Muhammad Ali, is the famous writer of several world-renowned works on Islam. The Maulana always acknowledged that the inspiration for his work came from his mentor and guide, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.

Sadly, the life and teachings of this great Muslim Reformer and thinker, as Hazrat Mirza was, have been misunderstood and misrepresented beyond all limits. It is extremely fortunate that Maulana Muhammad Ali recorded this concise biography. This book is highly authoritative, not only because of the Maulana's established reputation as a scholar of the highest merit and integrity, but also because he was a close associate and confidant of Hazrat Mirza, and lived and worked with him in Qadian for the last nine years of the life of Hazrat Mirza.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad regarded Maulana Muhammad Ali as the most accurate and reliable exponent of his teachings and beliefs. Therefore this book can be safely trusted to provide the most authentic account of Hazrat Mirza's life and mission.

Maulana Mohammad Ali is without a doubt one of the most prolific Islamic scholars of our age. His integrity is without a doubt unquestionable and his first person association with Mirza Ghulam Ahmed for a long period of time makes his accounts most authentic..
Also must reads are: his translation of the Holy Qur'aan and his title History of the Prophets.

Maulana Mohammad Ali is indeed one of the greatest writers of present day Islam. His accounts of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed are undisputible. The Maulana has penned several other great books, including Mohammad: The Prophet, which is a must read.
These writings however are poison ivy for those narrow-minded confused folks who say that Mohammad was the last Prophet, but believe that Issa (Jesus) will climb down a ladder in Jerusalem to come save THEM from hell.
May Allah have mercy on them.

even though i respect the many good works of Maulana Muhammad Ali and i consider him to be very knoledgeble, but i can't agree with this book, and i certainly can't believe such intelligent thinker would write such as blasphemous book, may Allah have mercy on his soul.

I found the subject content to be boring and blasphemou
