The Descent of the Messiah
by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, The Promised Messiah and Mahdi(as)
The Descent of the Messiah is a profound and far-reaching discourse on one of the most awaited events in history: the advent of the Promised Reformer, whose appearance is being awaited by the majority of the world’s religions. In this remarkable work, the author presents evidence for the divinely inspired claim that he is the same figure raised by God in the Latter Days.
With clarity and conviction, he offers a wealth of evidence to substantiate this claim, drawing upon a treasury of signs and prophecies fulfilled in his person. Central to the book is a compelling record of over a hundred miracles—each one a radiant testimony to his truth—meticulously chronicled along with their circumstances, their fulfilment, and the living witnesses who bore testimony to them.
Though the work traverses a wide spectrum of spiritual and theological themes, the title encapsulates the majestic breadth of the mission entrusted to the Promised Messiah. The Descent of the Messiah thus stands as both a declaration and a legacy—calling all seekers to reflect upon the signs of the age and the One who has appeared in fulfilment of them
“Do these people not notice that at the time when the clerics and their cohorts launched a campaign of rejection and vilification against me, there was not a single person who had pledged allegiance to me and my friends could be counted on the fingers? Now, by the grace of God, the number of those who have pledged allegiance to me has reached almost seventy thousand. This has not occurred through any effort on my part; in fact, it is the breeze blowing from Heaven that has caused them to hasten towards me.” —The Promised Messiah(as)
