Hazrat Maulana Jalal-ud-Din Shams(ra) in his introduction to the book said: “On June 7, 1897, the eldest son of the Promised Messiah(as), Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad (who later became the Second Caliph) completed the first reading of the Holy Quran. This occasion was celebrated with great rejoicing and a number of Ahmadis from out side Qadian also came to take part in this function.”
To celebrate the occasion, the Promised Messiah(as) wrote the historic poem called Mahmud Ki Amin which is a master-piece of Urdu poetic literature, full of Divine secrets. To this day, the followers of the Promised Messiah(as) recite verses from this poem on the occasion when their children complete the first reading of the Holy Quran, as well as on other occasions.
