The Great Reformer: A Biography of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

About the WEBSITE

We’re dedicated to sharing the biography of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Muslim Reformer of the 14th Century Hijrah as well as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi. (The word “Hazrat” is an honorific title, signifying great esteem and respect, a bit like “Sir”, “Esquire”, etc.) He lived in this world, but was not of it. And we are excited to share the English translation of the most comprehensive as well as monumental—three-volume—biography ever written about him. (The original biography—entitled Mujaddid-e-Azam—is in the Urdu language. It’s the work of Dr Basharat Ahmad, who was one of his disciples. Note, too, that the title Mujaddid-e-Azam literally translates as “The Great Reformer“, hence the name of this website.) With the affordance of the English translation that you hold in your hands, you, too, have the opportunity to learn about his life and his work in depth so as to enrich your understanding of a life from an era gone by, though its lessons remain undiminished and, if anything, even more relevant today to nudging our lives in a more virtuous and meaningful direction. At the very heart of the life of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad—in my altogether humble opinion—were his sublime devotion to Allah, to the Holy Prophet, and to the Holy Quran. As mentioned up atop, he lived in this world, but was not of it, simply because his aforesaid aspects of devotion were absolute: He was, in particular—and as betokened by his name, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad—the “ghulam,” of “Ahmad,” and which literally translates as “slave” of the Seal of the Prophets, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.) May your explorations of his life, right here online on this website, be blessed and auspicious ones.
