Having specified what he perceived as the diverse moral and religious corruption raging at the time and the prevalence of materialism, Ghulam Ahmad describes the efforts that the Christian missionaries were making to convert Muslims to their own faith and the various measures employed by them against Islam. He then states that he has been raised by God in order to counter these 'evils', to revive the religion and establish it in the hearts of people. Outlining his work, Ghulam Ahmad, in order for the reformation of mankind and to attract people towards ‘this Divine Dispensation’, has distributed its spheres of activities into five branches or departments which could be summarised as the following:
After having discussed the logistical and financial aspects of his work, Ghulam Ahmad elaborates upon the sacrifices and zeal of the early Islamic community and of the companions of Muhammad. He appeals for assistance, stating that such fervour is needed in this age too and explains why it is essential for the Muslims to believe in him and assist him.
At the close of the book Ghulam Ahmad has made an announcement to the effect that all those who would like to ask any questions or who have any objections against Islam, the Qur'an and the prophet Muhammad, or against himself (Ghulam Ahmad) or his claims or the work that he is doing, should write to him and seriously and sincerely ask for his answers. He states in this announcement that he will publish their questions or objections with his answers in a book form.
