A Gift for Baghdad is the English translation of Tuhfa-e-Baghdad, which was written in Arabic by the Promised Messiah^(as) in 1893. It is a reply to an announcement and letter written in Arabic by As-Sayyid ‘Abdur Razzaq al-Qadiri of Baghdad (residing in Hyderabad, India at the time) maligning the Promised Messiah^(as) and accusing him of disbelief (God forbid).

In A Gift for Baghdad, the Promised Messiah^(as) dispels the misunderstandings and misconceptions held by al-Qadiri and advises him not to hastily accept the allegations of the ulama without proper and thorough investigation. The Promised Messiah^(as) cordially invites him to Qadian to learn the truth first-hand, but in the event he is unable to embark upon this journey, he should perform the Istikharah Prayer and inform the Promised Messiah^(as) so that he may simultaneously pray for him as his brother in faith. In doing so, the Promised Messiah illustrates a practical example of how Muslim brethren should resolve their differences and disputes while remaining united in the bonds of love for each other.
