What significant contributions did Mirza Ghulam Ahmad make to religious literature?

[Asif Sarwar]

A prolific writer, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad authored numerous works such as Barāhīn al-Aḥmadiyyah, Review of Religions, and various expositions on Quranic interpretation and inter-religious discourse. These works sought to defend Islam, counter misconceptions, and offer spiritual insights to both Muslim and non-Muslim audiences.

He also founded the periodical Review of Religions in English in 1902, aimed at engaging Western readers and challenging Christian missionary criticisms with reasoned responses rooted in Islamic teachings.

Such literary efforts remain central to the Qadiani legacy, demonstrating his commitment to rational dialogue and religious reform through scholarship and publication.
