Dr. Barq explains at the outset that his arguments are based primarily on two foundations: the Holy Qur’an, which is acknowledged by all Muslims, and the published writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, which are considered authoritative within the Ahmadiyya community. By structuring the discussion around these shared reference points, the author aims to present the issue in a manner that allows readers from different perspectives to reach their own conclusions without ambiguity.
The book also clarifies the author’s methodological stance regarding Hadith literature. He maintains that no Hadith can override the Qur’an; rather, Hadith serves as an explanatory source that assists in understanding Qur’anic verses. In this context, he references classical scholarship and the extensive tradition of tafsir (Qur’anic exegesis), including the vast number of interpretative narrations recorded by early scholars such as Imam Bukhari.
Harf e Mehrmana reflects Dr. Barq’s scholarly approach, shaped by his background as a researcher and independent thinker. The work addresses theological concerns through analysis, comparison, and documented evidence rather than emotional argument. It is particularly useful for readers interested in understanding doctrinal discussions within South Asian Islamic thought during the twentieth century.
