Ratings and reviews

Difficult to go from Ibrahim, Musa, Nuh, Dawud, Solaiman, Isa, Muhammad Sallal lahu alaihe wa sallam to then this individual. Seems like a bit of a drop in standards even after Pristine Monhithiesm had been perfected and retained through Islam. Then we see great figures who have emerged throughout Islamic history from the 4 Khalifa to Hassan and Hussein, Ibn Qasim, righteous rulers, heroes like Nur Ad Din Zangi, Salahuddin Al Ayyubi, Sultan Mehmet, Sultan Abdul Hamid, Aurangzeb, Sufi Princes like Abdul Qadir Jilani, Ibn Arabi, Moinuddin Chishti then philosophers like Ghazzali, Ibn Rushd, Jurists of the 4 madhaib and also Imam Jafar as Sadik all larger than life figures and over achievers and even more recent individuals like Umar Mukhtar, Malcolm X and then there is this man. Just can't make head or tails out of any of it.

This is no over statement to say that millions of Muslims the world consider this as one of the best, if not the best book on Islam that has ever been written. The negative review is due to prejudice against the authors religious community, it is in no way a reflection of the quality of this amazing treatise on Islam. A must read.

A book that will convince those who are sincere seekers of truth. A masterpiece with no contemporary parallels!! alhamdulillah. This book will introduce the intellectually capable of the supremacy of the real and true faith that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (SAW). It will separate true Islam from the fiction and lies that extremists peddle in the name of our beloved Messenger. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (AS) proved his devotion and love for his beloved Messenger.
