Life of the Promised Messiah(as) or Sirat Hazrat Masih-e-Mau’ud Alayhis-Salam is a heart-warming account of the life of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, on whom be peace, written by Hazrat Maulana Abdul-Karim Sahib of Sialkot, may Allah be pleased with him.
This fond reminiscence was originally published in Urdu in the form of a series of letters written by Hazrat Maulana Sahib(ra) addressed to the readers of Al-Hakam. The main text which comprises this book was first published in two editions of Al-Hakam dated 17 January 1900 and 24 January 1900, and then later printed in book form. The present English work is a translation of the Urdu.
The present English translation also includes in the form of an appendix an additional section which was published in an Urdu reprint of this book published on 21 April 1935.
With guidance and approval from Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V, may Allah be his Helper, subtitles have been added to this English rendering, which were not present in the original Urdu.
