Seal of the Caliphs of Two Dispensations

The Promised Messiah & Imam Mahdi, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as)

I hold the Messiah son of Mary (as), in high esteem, inasmuch as I am spiritually the Khatam al-Khulafa [the Seal of the Caliphs] in Islam, just as the Messiah son of Mary (as) was the Khatam al-Khulafa of the Israelite dispensation. The son of Mary (as) was the
Promised Messiah of the Mosaic dispensation and I am the Promised Messiah of the dispensation of Muhammad [sa]; so I honour greatly the one whose name I bear. Anyone who asserts that I do not revere the Messiah son of Mary (as) is mischievous and a liar.

I honour not only the Messiah, but also his four brothers,* as all five of them were sons of the same mother. I also regard his two biological sisters as pious, for they are all from the womb of the Holy Virgin Mary (as).

* Christ the Messiah had four brothers and two sisters who were related to Christ by blood and were the children of Joseph and Mary [as]. The names of his four brothers are (1) Judas, (2) James, (3) Simon and (4) Justus. The names of his two sisters are (1) Assia and (2) Lydia.
