The Light of Truth, Parts I & II (Nurul Haqq)

Nūrul-Ḥaqq — The Light of Truth, Parts I & II

The Light of Truth is the English translation of Nūrul-Ḥaqq—a two-part Arabic work of Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as, the Promised Messiah and Mahdi.

Part I, published in February 1894, demonstrates the unrivalled literary excellence of the Holy Quran and its true meanings concerning Jesus Christ in response to the vulgar, baseless attacks of Padre ‘Imād-ud-Dīn Lāhiz, an ex-Muslim-turned-Christian missionary.

Scarcely a month after its publication—and three years after Hadrat Ahmad claimed to be the Mahdi—the very lunar and solar eclipses that the Holy Prophet Muhammad^sas foretold as a Sign of the Mahdi’s advent, occurred on 21 March and 6 April, respectively.

Part II, published in May 1894, addresses these long-prophesied celestial Signs and refutes objections made by Muslim critics like Shaikh Muhammad Husain of Batala to the hadith conveying the prophecy.

Composed of miraculous Arabic prose and several eloquent odes, The Light of Truth is a passionate plea for Muslims to return to the path of righteousness, and a decisive response to numerous Christian allegations against the Holy Quran. It is a divinely inspired book of light. To aid in understanding, the present translation includes the original Arabic masterpiece and the original Urdu translation.
