The truth of Islam Ahmadiyyat had reached the west during the lifetime of
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as :
The Sunday Herald, Boston (June 23, 1907): “Great is Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, The Messiah.” 7
beside themselves with excessive joy at the
excellent exposition of the Holy Qur’an. Some
became tearful with joy. Mahbub Alam, Editor
of the Paisa Akhbar, was a sworn enemy of the
Promised Messiah as , but he too could not restrain
himself and often jumped from his seat. Maulvi
Mohammad Hussain of Batala, was also present;
but even this foe of the Promised Messiah as was
obliged to confess that the paper had won a
decisive victory for Islam. The promoters of the
Conference, the people of persuasion, as well
as the papers of the Punjab all declared with
one voice that Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s as
lecture was undoubtedly the best. They even
counselled the Muslims to render it into English
and distribute it in Europe and America.
The proceedings of this conference were
published in newspapers; it was admitted that
the Promised Messiah’s as discourse was indeed
far superior to all the others; the Indian press
gave it an excellent review. An English Daily
Paper The civil and Military Gazette, as well as
20 other Urdu papers stated that: ‘The paper
transcends all others’.
Another revelation of the Promised Messiah as ,
which was fulfilled by the success of this
conference, was a vision the Promised Messiah as
had regarding the spreading of his works to
London:
“I saw in a vision that I was standing on a
pulpit in the city of London and was setting
forth the truth of Islam in the English
language, in a very well-reasoned address.
Thereafter I caught several birds that were
sitting upon small trees and were of white
colour and their bodies resembled the bodies of
partridges. I interpreted this vision as meaning
that though I would not be able to travel to
that country but that my writings will be
published there and many righteous English
people will accept the truth.”
