In this book the Promised Messiah, on whom be peace, discusses the philosophy of divine revelation, the three categories of people who claim to receive revelation, and the distinction of the truthful from the false. He then establishes his truthfulness by documenting over 200 Signs, including the fulfillment of prophecies made by the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, other men of God, earlier scriptures, and his own revelations spanning over twenty-five years. The author cites numerous examples of his enemies who publicly predicted his downfall and demise, only to become the very victims of their own prophecies. God, however, protected him against every assault, while continuously reassuring him of His promise to bless his Community—a promise which continues to bear the seal and testimony of history. The author also appeals to the followers of different faiths to read this book cover to cover to appreciate and accept this evidence as proof that God is One and the Holy Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of God, and that he is the Promised Messiah raised to unite humanity under the banner of Islam.

Signs of the Living God is comprised of two short essays in which Hazrat Musleh Ma’ud(ra) details various prophecies of the Promised Messiah(as) to establish the truth of the Promised Messiah’s(as) claim and to show that God manifested the same signs through him that were manifested at the hands of the prophets of the past. These prophecies include the one regarding Alexander Dowie, prophecies relating to the First World War and the prophecy about the fall of the Tsar of Russia.
