Foreword

We are pleased to add another book to the Children’s Book Series by the title of Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta)—Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad which focuses on the life of the fourth successor to the Promised Messiah (as). Though this is a brief glimpse into his life, I am certain that the reader will learn much from it.

This is an English translation of the original which was published in Urdu by Majlis Khuddamul-Ahmadiyya as part of the Khilafat Centenary publications. The English translation was carried out and modified as necessary by the Children’s Book Committee USA of Additional Wakalat-e-Tasneef. I would like to acknowledge the contributions of Amatulhaee Mirza, Waseem Sayed, Nauman Ahmad Hadi, Bushra Shahid, Bushra Ahmad, and Naser-ud-Din Shams. Photos supplied to us by Makhzan-e-Tasaweer are gratefully acknowledged.

I encourage parents to obtain further books which are a part of this series for their children. They will find them very beneficial in teaching Ahmadi children about the lives of holy personages. I also advise parents to discuss and re-tell the incidents that have been gathered in this edition with their young ones so that a healthy atmosphere of moral training can be created within the household.

I pray that this book is of much benefit to all. In the end I express my gratitude to all those who played a role in the publication of this important book. May Allah the Exalted bestow His countless blessings upon them all. Ameen.
