Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad

Khalifatul Masih IV (rh)

Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (rh) (1928–2003) was a grandson and the fourth successor of the Promised Messiah and Mahdi (as). He was elected as Khalifatul Masiḥ in 1982. After the promulgation of General Zia-ul-Haq's anti-Ahmadiyya Ordinance of 26th April 1984, he had to leave his beloved country, Pakistan and migrated to England from where he launched Muslim Television Ahmadiyya International (MTA), which would (and still does) telecast its programmes 24 hours a day to the four corners of the world. Besides being a religious leader, he was a homeopathic physician of world fame, a highly gifted poet and a sportsman. He had a divinely inspired and very deep knowledge of the Holy Quran which he translated into Urdu. For a layman, he had an amazingly in-depth knowledge of science, especially life sciences which can be observed in his magnum opus, Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge and Truth. Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rh) passed away in 2003 and was succeeded by Hazrat Mirza Masoor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih V (aba), the present head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
