Mirza Bashir Ahmad was a son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who was named Qamrul Anbiyaa (the moon of the prophets) by his father. He helped his brother throught the latter's period as head of the Qadiani Ahmadiyya. This help came in the form of:

• Managing properties in Qadian
• Writing books that proved to be quite controversial.

His role and his works are now greatly minimized by the Qadiani establishment. Very few Ahmadis know know much about him and his writings.

Qamrul Anbiyaa

This title was given to him by his father, allegedly told to him by God in a Ilhaam. It literally means 'moon of the prophets'. It is meant to signify that all the light of all the prophets is reflected in him.

Such a lofty title does not equate with the reduced importance that the Qadiani Ahmadiyya give to him now.

In another article in the [Review of Religions], circa 1918, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad has been referred to as the 'sun' and the 'moon' of the prophets, together with an explanation of why it is so. [TODO]
