In this book, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) established, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that Jesus was not crucified and that he died a natural death. And he declared that the advent of the Promised Messiah and Mahdi had taken place in his person. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) declared further that he had been commissioned by God in the name of Jesus so that he could demolish the false beliefs of Christianity that were spreading. Therefore, he had come to break the Cross and kill the swine in this way.

He also discussed the five ways in which he was striving to achieve this purpose:

• (1) publication of books,
• (2) the issuance of leaflets,
• (3) giving interviews,
• (4) correspondence, and
• (5) accepting bai‘at.

He needed funds to carry on his work, therefore, he appealed to Muslims for help. He had devoted friends like Hazrat Maulvi Hakim Nuruddin (ra), each of whom was prepared, he said, to bear the entire cost of publication of the books, but this he could not allow this. He wanted the whole community to cooperate and share with him the expenses so that they might all be blessed.

At the end of this book, he announced that he would welcome all kinds of questions, and objections against Islam, the Holy Quran, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) and his own self, and that, if they wrote to him, he would answer them.
