Malfūzāt (Urdu: ملفوظات, "Discourses"; lit. "spoken words") is a five volume corpus comprising of the discourses, speeches, question-and-answer-sessions, sermons of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, the founder of the Ahmadiyya movement in Islam, who claimed to be the Promised Mahdi and Messiah. These discourses were written down by his companions. The volumes cover a period of nearly two decades of Ghulam Ahmad's starting from 1891 until his death in 1908.[1]

Volumes

When the Malfūzāt were first compiled, under the leadership of Mirza Nasir Ahmad, the third Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya movement, they were published in Rabwah as a ten volume set. Newer editions have been compressed into five volumes. [1]
