Mirza Ghulam Aḥmad[1] (February 13, 1835 – May 26, 1908) was a religious figure from India, and the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. He claimed to be the Mujaddid (divine reformer) of the 14th Islamic century, the promised Messiah ("Second Coming of Christ"), and the Mahdi awaited by the Muslims in the end days.[2][3]. He declared that Jesus (Isa) had in fact survived the crucifixion and later died a natural death, after having migrated towards Kashmir and that he had appeared in the spirit and power of Jesus[4].
Ghulam Ahmad is known to have produced a vast amount of literature. He wrote over eighty books, many of which extend hundreds of pages. Apart from his books, he is also known to have composed poetry in three different languages, namely Persian, Urdu and Arabic. His writings contain the exposition and explanation of Islamic teachings, often reinterpreted. A wide range of subjects are also dealt with such as mysticism and the intricate issues of Islamic theology. His writings always used the Qur'an to elaborate and give meanings to various ideas. His works often contain very strong arguments in favour of Islam. His lecture "The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam" (originally presented at a conference of religions held in Lahore in December 1896 and later published as a book) is a good example of this. All major newspapers who covered the lecture were unanimous in their praise.[5] Several of his books were distributed globally during his lifetime. His essay entitled The Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam was well received by various intellectuals including Leo Tolstoy of Russia.[6]
Initially his books were published individually but after his death, his complete works were collected under the leadership of Mirza Nasir Ahmad, the third successor of Ghulam Ahmad. His writings were compiled in the twenty-three volume corpus known as Roohani Khazāin (Spiritual Treasures) which includes all his books, pamphlets, and various periodicals and articles he wrote before his claim, known as Porani Tehrirėn (Old Writings). His complete announcements and advertisements were collected in the Majmooa Ishtiharat (Collection of Advertisements) with only a small number of his books not being translated into English.[7] His letters have been compiled into three volumes known as Maktoobat-e-Ahmad and his complete discourses or sayings have been compiled in 5 volumes known as the Malfoozat.
