Intro
This is lesser known pamphlet that MGA and his team wrote. They had initially written “Sitara-e-Qaisarah” (also spelled Tuhfa-e- Qaisariyyah) in English as “The Star of Victoria”, however, the queen of England never even responded to MGA’s flattery. So, MGA and his team wrote another pamphlet entitled, “The Star of the Empress” by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1899)(this is the book with Free Mason symbols on it), this seems to have been in english. This was nothing new for MGA, he was always praying for the success of the British government and begging his followers to do the same.
Nuzhat Haneef quoted this book heavily in her monumental work. This book published on August 24, 1899, in Urdu it’s book of only 16 pages, written in 1898 and published in 1899. The original english edition is not posted by the Qadiani Ahmadi’s. MGA complimented the British Government for providing freedom of expression and religious tolerance. MGA went on and on praising Queen Victoria and telling her it is her era which the Prophet (sallallahualaihiwasallam) foretold the Messiah will come and wolves and sheep will drink from the same pond and children will play with snakes. He says to Queen Victoria: “May God help you from the heavens. Thus, the coming of the Promised Messiah in this world is only as a result of your blessed existence, your sincerity of heart and your true compassion.” He tells the Queen: “It is in our reliable books that the Promised Messiah will not engage in any battle nor will he lift a sword.” pg 121.

“”I pluck the courage to say the following few words for respectful submission to Huzoor Exalted Lady Empress of India, may her prosperity continue to be perpetuated: I come from a respectable Mughal[62] family of the Punjab and before the era of the Sikhs[63] my ancestors were owners of an autonomous state. …We were subjected to many hardships during the reign of the Sikhs … and even before the blessed arrival of the British monarchy our entire state had been ground to dust and only five villages remained [in our estate]. And my respected father, the late Mirzaa Ghulaam Murtazaa, who had experienced enormous setbacks/tragedies during the Sikh reign, awaited the arrival of the British monarchy like a very thirsty person looks forward to water. … He was a very sincere devotee of the British Administration. For this reason, during the days of the Mutiny of 1857 AD, he had provided 50 horses, along with riders, to the British authorities, by way of assistance. … And if the 1857 Mutiny had been prolonged even longer, he was prepared to provide assistance up to a 100 more riders. So, that is how his life was spent. And after his demise his humble one [Mirza Ghulam Ahmad], secluding [himself] entirely from the engagements of the world, occupied [himself] toward God Almighty. And the service that I performed in favor of the British authorities was that I had about 50,000 books and articles and announcements/advertisements printed and [had them] published in this country and also in other Muslim lands, with the content that the British Government is a benefactor of us Muslims. Therefore, it should be the duty of every Muslim to truly obey this government and have heartfelt gratitude and goodwill for this treasure. And having compiled these books in various languages, that is, Urdu, Persian, and Arabic, I spread them in all the countries of Islaam.
… As a result, tens of thousands of people dropped those incorrect notions of jihaad that were in their hearts due to the teaching of the uncomprehending mullaahs. This service that came into occurrence through me is such that I am proud of the fact that no Muslim from among all the Muslims of British India was able to produce anything similar. And I, by doing the extent of the service that I have been doing for 22 years, do not do a favor to this patron government because I admit that due to the arrival of this blessed government we [me and my relatives] and our ancestors were salvaged from a burning hot iron oven. Therefore, I, along with all my relatives [and dear ones], lift both my hands in supplication that O God, keep secure this blessed Empress of India, may her prosperity continue to be perpetuated, for a long time over our heads. And to every step of hers, add the protection of Your assistance. And greatly prolong the days of her prosperity.”””

“””In Tohfaa-e-Qaysariyyah, which has been sent to the respected presence of Huzoor [Respected] Empress of India, I had respectfully presented these same circumstances and services and claims [about my services to the British Government and my Divine ministry etc.]. And, in view of the vast ethical/moral [stature] of my Lady, the Exalted Queen, I was hopeful of a reply every day. And even now [I] am. In my opinion if that humble gift, from a prayerful/well-wisher person like myself – that had been written, due to perfect sincerity, [as if] with the blood of my life – had been presented to the respected presence of Huzoor Exalted Queen, may her prosperity continue to be perpetuated, it is impossible that a reply to it would not have come. In fact [it] would definitely have come; [it] would definitely have come. Therefore, due to the certainty that I possess, with perfect confidence, regarding the merciful ethics/morals of the Lady Empress of India, I am compelled to write this respectful reminder. …”””

“”And I am commanded to convey the good tidings to the illustrious Empress of India that as on earth and through physical causes, the Almighty God has, with His perfect Grace and Wisdom, established the rule of Her Majesty in this and other countries, so the earth may be filled with peace and justice. So, He has ordained in Heaven that to give full effect to the real objects of our blessed Queen which consist of promoting justice, peace and the welfare of mankind, extinction of all evils, reform of morals and the extirpation of savage manners, it is, therefore, necessary that a spiritual system be established with His own hand from Heaven, which should assist in
the fulfilment of the great object which Her Majesty has at heart, and thus aided with heavenly rain, encourage the growth of peace, security and goodwill, of which Her Majesty has sown the seed. To fulfil His word as to the coming of the Promised Messiah, He has sent me from Heaven, so that in the spirit of that Prince of peace, who was born at Bethlehem and brought up at Nazareth, I may employ myself in advancing the cause of the good and blessed object of Her Majesty the Empress. He has anointed me with numerous blessings and made me His Messiah that He Himself may from Heaven assist Her Majesty in her pure aims. Blessed Empress, may God preserve thee long and make us happy by thy long age, prosperity and success. The coming of the Promised Messiah in thy reign is to enhance the light of sincerity, it is a sure sign and testimony from God that thou hast far excelled the monarchs of the world in the love of peace and security, good management, sympathy for thy subjects and the spreading of justice and equity.”””

“”… O Exalted Lady, Empress of India, I have been given knowledge from God Almighty that there is one defect in Muslims and one defect in Christians due to which they are [languishing] far from true spiritual life. And that defect does not allow them to become one. Rather, it creates mutual dissension among them. And that [defect] is that among the Muslims [there are] two issues [that are] extremely dangerous and entirely incorrect that they consider the jihaad of the sword [martial jihaad], for [the cause of] faith, to be a part of their religion. And by killing an innocent person due to this insanity they think that they have performed an act of great [religious] merit. And although, in British India, this doctrine of most of the Muslims has been reformed to quite an extent, and the hearts of thousands of Muslims have been cleaned/clarified due to my efforts of 22-23 years, but there is no doubt that in some foreign countries these ideas are still found [i.e., exist] with enthusiasm. … “”

“””The Holy Qur’an clearly forbids the use of force for the spread of the faith and directs its propagation through its inherent qualities and the good example of the Muslims. Do not be misled by the notion that in the beginning the Muslims were commanded to take up the sword. That sword was not taken up for the spread of the faith, but in self-defence against the enemies of Islam and for the purpose of establishing peace and security. It was no part of the purpose of taking it up to have recourse to coercion in the matter of faith.””””

“is written in our reliable books that Maseeh Mau`ood … will be, in every aspect, on [the
pattern of] Hadrat `Eesaa’s nature and morals, peace on him, and he will be colored in his [Jesus’] color so much as though he is identically the same”
“”The other defect in our Muslim nation is that they are awaiting such a bloody [i.e., physically violent and capable of bloodshed] Maseeh and bloody Mahdee who, in their conjecture, will fill the world with blood, although this idea is totally wrong. It is written in our reliable books that Maseeh Mau`ood will not take up any fight and will not lift the sword but rather he will be, in every aspect, on [the pattern of] Hadrat `Eesaa’s nature and morals, peace on him, and he will be colored in his [Jesus’] color so much as though he is identically the same. These two errors exist in the Muslims of the current age. Due to which most of them harbor malice toward other nations but God has sent me so that I remove these errors. And the word [i.e., title] ‘qaadee’ [judge] or ‘hakam’ [arbiter] that has been granted to me, that is for this very decision. And, in comparison to this, there is also a defect in the Christians and that is that they apply the word
‘la`nat’ [curse] — may Allaah protect us from this – for a personage as sacred as Maseeh [Jesus] who has been called the light in the Noble Gospels … [RK, v. 15, p. 121; starts at the paragraph beginning; Sitaarahe- Qaysarah]”””

“””Then how very unfair and rebellious it is to entertain even a thought of jihaad regarding this blessed and peace-giving Government. These books have been printed with an expense of thousands of rupees. And then published in Muslim countries. And I know that certainly thousands of Muslims have been affected by these books. Particularly the Jama`at that is related to me by bay`at and discipleship.””
