A wonderful biography has been published last month in USA to celebrate the services and unique scholarship of Hadrat Malik Saifur Rahman , who was Principal of Jamia Ahmadiyya Rabwah, Pakistan and also Mufti Silsila Aliyya Ahmadiyya.

Dr.  Karimullah Zirvi, Editor of USA Ahmadiyya Gazette, has compiled this biography, by collecting a series of articles, to present different snapshots, from the life of Malik Saifur Rahman.

It is a comprehensive collection covering 435 pages.  Malik Saifur Rahman was a learned divine of the Community, who occupied the high office of Mufti of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, for a long time. His grasp of Islamic jurisprudence was breath taking. He devoted his entire life to the cause of Ahmadiyyat: True Islam. He died in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, on October 25th, 1989.

I would like to review his biography from different angles in a few posts.

Today, I want to share with you, an Endorsement of the book, in the form of a Foreword, from the highest spiritual office, of Khalifa of Islam, Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community:
