In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Allah, the Almighty, had blessed Muslih Mau‘ud with extraordinary oratory capabilities. His addresses were so charming and simple that his description of a very difficult point looked trivial and easy to understand, and a person with ordinary knowledge and education could grasp the point adequately. It was a part of his style to tell a joke or relate an anecdote or an incident. Through this practice, he developed interest of the audience and expounded the subject matter for every level of understanding so the matter was imprinted on the heart. His speeches were so absorbing that the audience lost the track of the passage of time. Some of his speeches continued over eight hours without affecting the interest and the enthusiasm of the listeners, and the audience left with their minds saturated with the treasures of knowledge.
This book, which is presented before you, comprises historical events and wit told by Muslih Mau‘ud and the moral and training lessons he extracted from them, are very effective and impressive. Majlis Khuddamul-Aḥmadiyya Markaziyyah is grateful to Malik Ata’ullah who compiled this book with great effort and research. Majlis also values the help of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, ex-Sadr Majlis Khuddamul-Ahmadiyya Markaziyyah, and Khalid Mas‘ud, who reviewed the book. May Allah reward them with the best of the rewards.
