the perfection of his excellences.”

“After the era of decline and darkness, we witnessed
the revival of Islam, with all the major signs of the
prophecy of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) having being fulfilled, on the 23rd of March
1889. It testified to the truthfulness of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was the Seal of
the Prophets.”
The Khalifa spoke of how the truth of the
Promised Messiah’s claim had been supported by
countless signs.

be his Helper) is the

Muslim
Community

11. He gave the example of the
lunar and solar eclipses
that occurred during the months
of Ramadan on certain
prescribed dates as prophesied
by the Holy Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him).

12. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad
said:
“This phenomena [of the lunar and solar
eclipse] never occurred as a Sign for any
other claimant. And so this prophecy,
testified to the truth of the Holy Prophet
(peace be upon him) and the truth of the One
who had been sent as the Promised
Messiah and Mahdi.”

13. Speaking about significance of the date, Hazrat
Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“On this day Allah the Almighty honoured
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Aḥmad of Qadian
to be the Promised Messiah and the long
awaited Mahdi because of the loyalty and
love he showed for his Master, the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).”

14. During his message, Hazrat Mirza
Masroor Ahmad also quoted
extracts from the writings of the
Promised Messiah in which he
expressed his absolute love for the
Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) and his great respect for
the Arab people.

15. Addressing the Arab
people, Hazrat Mirza
Ghulam Ahmad, the
Promised Messiah
and Imam Mahdi

16. ‘No nation would be able to obtain your
glory and status. Most sufficient is the
honour that Allah bestowed on you by
commencing His revelation with Adam and
completing it with that Prophet, who is
from amongst you and from your land,
which was his abode, his shelter and his
place of birth… It is Muhammad (peace be
upon him) the Elected One, the Pride of the
Prophets, the Seal of the Messengers and
Imam of all Mankind.”

17. The Promised Messiah further said:
“O, dear Arabs! Allah has favoured you with His
extraordinary blessings and special qualities and with His
great Mercy. Amongst you is the House of Allah, which has
endowed the mother of towns with blessings and amongst
you is the tomb of the Blessed Prophet, who spread the unity
of Allah to all corners of the world and clearly manifested the
Glory of Allah. From amongst you there were people who
supported Allah and His Messenger with all of their hearts,
all of their souls and all of their minds. They sacrificed their
wealth and their lives to propagate the religion of Allah and
His most pure Book. You are the ones who have been
bestowed these special blessings and certainly one who does
not honour you is committing injustice.”

18. At a time when parts of the Arab world
have been torn apart through internal
conflicts and warfare, Hazrat Mirza
Masroor Ahmad asked the Arab members
of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to
convey to the Arab World the need to stay
united and to accept the
Promised Messiah.

19. Addressing the
Arab Ahmadi
Muslims,

20. Addressing the Arab Ahmadi Muslims, Hazrat Mirza
Masroor Ahmad said:
“Go out and preach with full of wisdom to all
Muslims, especially those who speak the language of
the final [law-bearing] Prophet, who was the dearest
to Allah Almighty… Inform them that their safety and
prosperity is determined in their being united and all
joined at the hands of the Promised Messiah and by
becoming one Community. Be Helpers of the
Promised Messiah by conveying his anguish and
sorrow for your people by telling them to raise aloft
the peaceful and loving banner of the Holy Prophet
(peace be upon him) across the entire world.”

24. Thanks for your
Patience
