The Martyr, Hazrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif (ra)

Hazrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif^(ra) was one of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s first martyrs. He was born in Syedgah, Afghanistan, to a well-known family. People from all over Afghanistan visited him to benefit from his spirituality and knowledge. Upon receiving a book of the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^(as), Hazrat Sahibzada^(ra) said, “This is surely the individual for which the world was waiting. He is truly a messenger of God and has come to guide people back to the right path.”

Accepting Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^(as) as the Promised Messiah placed him at odds with prevailing religious leaders and the Amir of Afghanistan, who later ordered his execution. Even in the face of extreme opposition, he displayed unflinching courage. This book presents a few glimpses of the life of this noble soul. His life and devotion to Allah leave an imprint even 100 years after his demise.
