Siratul-Abdal (Hallmarks of the Saints) was penned in Arabic by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, in 1903. The book describes the distinctive qualities, morals, and virtues that set apart those who have made a holy change in themselves for the sake of God. Indeed, the life of the Promised messiah himself is a compelling portrait of the characteristics of such holy personages. Siratul-Abdal is a masterpiece of the Arabic language, employing the most eloquent, powerful, and persuasive features of expression of classical Arabic.

The cultural distractions of modern society have pulled men out of understanding how God designed man. The collective men of today's global society have forgotten what man is, and also what man is not. Man is not violent. Man is not one who abuses his wife and children. Man is not a pleasure-seeker. Man does not define himself in terms of his sexual conquests. A man is one who accepts responsibility. A man is courageous, especially in the face of danger. A man is faithful. A man is a man of integrity. A man is loving.
