The Advent of The Promised Messiah

A Note from the Editor of Al-Hakam:

This is an address by His Holiness, a Sign of Allah, the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, delivered in the Aqsa Mosque (Aqsa Mosque in Qadian, India [Publisher]) after Zuhr and Asr prayers on 27 December 1905.

On the morning of 26 December 1905, a large gathering was held in the main hall of the new guest house, in order to deliberate on the issue relating to the reform of Madrasa Talim-ul-Islam. Many people delivered ad- dresses on various aspects. During the course of this discussion, an individual said:

As far as I am aware, the only difference between the community of the Promised Messiah, peace be upon him, and other Muslims is that the latter believe in the Messiah son of Mary having ascended to heaven alive, and we believe that he has passed away. Except for this, there is no other matter of difference that is contentious in principle between them and us.

As this did not fully represent the purpose of the community’s establishment, but rather led to doubt and confusion, it was essential for the Promised Messiah to rectify this notion. As there was insufficient time on the occasion, he thought it appropriate to deliver an address about the real purpose of his advent after Zuhr and Asr prayers on 27th December. Although the Promised Messiah was feeling ill, he gave the following address by the sheer grace and mercy of Allah Almighty.
