Malfoozat

Malfoozat or Malfūzāt translated as the dialogues, discourses or spoken words is a 5 volume corpus of the sayings and utterances of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian the founder of the Ahmadiyya movement in Islam, who claimed that he had been appointed by God as the Promised Mahdi and Messiah. These sayings were written down by his companions. The volumes cover a period of nearly two decades of discourses, speeches, question and answer sessions, sermons and conversations of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad starting from 1891 until his death in 1908. To date only a small portion of the volume set has been translated into the English language.^[1]
