Intro
He was born on 19 June 1894 in Ludhiana to Hadhrat Master Qader Bakhsh and Basheerun Sahiba of Ludhiana, both of whom in 1892 had the honour of taking Bai’at (initiation) at the hands of the MGA. At birth, he was named Mian Rahim Baksh (or M. Rahim Baksh, see the ROR of January-1924 and March-1924). In 1897, he was working as a secretary for the Nawab of Bahawalpur, Sadeq Mohammad Khan IV. Maulvi Rahim Bakhsh stole over 50,000 rupees from the Nawab of Bahawalpur. His cousin (via marriage) was the famous toilet attendant of MGA, Abdullah Sanauri. 

He was supposed to go to London in 1921 and relieve Fateh Muhammad Sayyal, however, this was cancelled abruptly, the ROR of Oct-1921 tells us the reason was financial embarrassment, however, we don’t know what that means.

In the summer of 1924, he accompanied the Khalifa on his tour of the British empire and stayed in the UK as the missionary-in-charge.

He returned to India by 1928. In the Oct-1924 edition of the ROR, his name is listed as Maulvi Rahim Bakhsh Dard. It seems that his name was changed by the Khalifa when they were in London. In the November-1924 and January-1925 edition of the ROR, the name Dard appears.

In relation to the early history of Ahmadiyyat in the Netherlands, we find the mention of Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard’s visit to this country. The year commonly mentioned is 1926. For instance, it is stated in Tarikh-e-Ahmadiyyat (Vol. 11, p. 149) that the message of Islam Ahmadiyyat reached the Netherlands “after the inauguration of the Fazl Mosque London” in 1926, through Dard Sahib’s lectures in various societies there. Moreover, Hafiz Qudratullah Sahib – missionary to the Netherlands who established the Ahmadiyya mission there in 1947 – mentions the same year in his autobiography (Dastan-e-Hafiz Bazuban-e-Hafiz, p. 66).

His second tour in the UK was from 1933 to 1938 (he officially took over the London mission on March-12, 1933 from Maulvi Farzand Ali, see ROR of May-1933). He published the famous life of Ahmad from Pakistan in 1948.

He died suddenly in 1955 from a heart attack (see the Al Fazl Daily, 18 December 1955). You can read the full entry about his life herein.

(1164) Mian Rehmatullah son of Mian Abdullah Sanauri has informed me through writing that Mamoo Qadir Bakhsh, father of Molvi Abdul Rahim Dard, has wished hazrat sahib (Mirza Ghulam) to visit his house. He expressed his wish before father ie Mian Abdullah Sanauri. Father told him that hazrat sahib (Mirza) has already received so many other requests but he has refused. Mamoo Qadir Bakhsh again requested father to arrange the visit of Hazrat sahib to his house. Father said, he will bring hazrat sahib to his house but he will charge Rs.25/- for this. Mamoo Qadir Bakhsh agreed to pay the amount. Father told him to make proper place for the sitting of hazrat sahib. So he, (Rehmatullah) and father came to the city side and arranged a buggy. Then reached to the residence of Huzur. Father knocked at the door hazrat sahib came out and asked as to how has he come to him. Father said hazrat sahib you have to come with us to the house.

1890’s

Maulana Dard met MGA at the very young age of about five when he went with his father to the Promised Messiah ’s house – an encounter that he held close to his heart throughout his life. Maulana Dard undertook his primary education in Ludhiana, Lahore and Patiala.

Allegedly, he graduated with a BA in Lahore in 1914 and then an MA followed by a BT. He also completed the ‘Civil Service’ exam in 1919 (although he never entered government service).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1915

Maulana Dard was married twice; once in December 1915 to Sara Begum, daughter of Mian Muhammad Ismail, and then to Maryam Begum (his first cousin) daughter of Hadhrat Mian Abdullah Sanauri in December 1917. On both occasions, he was blessed to have Hudhur perform the Nikah (Islamic marriage pronouncement ceremony). It is relevant to point out that this second marriage occurred due to the wish of the Promised Messiah expressed when Maulana Dard was young and which later was brought to the attention of Maulana Dard ’s father. He had 14 children, yet despite his extremely busy schedule that left almost no time for his family, Maulana Dard knew how to make his presence felt even when he was physically absent, often thousands of miles away. Whilst in London, he used to write to each of his 14 children regularly to keep up their spirits. This shows how conscious he was of his role as a father, husband as well as his role as a servant of the community.

The ROR of April-May-1917 contains an english translation by Dard. The article is written by unknown and is titled, “Ahmad’s Teachings to his Followers”. 

The ROR of July-1917 reports an essay by him entitled, “The Need of Revelation”. His name is written as M. Rahim Baksh, M.A.. In it, he argues why revelation is needed. 

Khutbah Ilhamiya has 12 pages translated into english in the ROR of Sep-1917, translated by M. Rahim Baksh (M.A.) aka Dard.

After completing his studies in 1919 at the age of 25 in the holy citadel of Qadian, he devoted his entire life to God and became Waqif-e-Zindagi (i.e. a life devotee) and thus started a journey of one of the most illustrious services rendered in the history of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community.

The Mar-Apr-1919 edition of the ROR shows that he translated 8 pages of “A’ina-e-Kamalat-e-Islam” into english. The Dec-1919 edition of the ROR tells the world that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq has been ordered by the Khalifa to go the USA. The essay or announcement is written by Rahim Baksh aka Dard.

The Aug-Sep-1920 edition of the ROR tells us that the Ahmadiyya Movement has purchased a plot of land wherein housing for missionaries and a small temple could be built.

Ahmadiyya sources alleged, that in early 1920, announcements were made to collect funds for a mosque in London. The Ahmadi community in Qadian raised 12,000 rupees. Unlike others, we didn’t plead with the government for funds but came together ourselves. By August 1920, a piece of land and a building were bought for £2,223 (30,000 rupees) in Southfields, London. Today, we’re sharing a rare image of 63 Melrose Road, the mission house before and during the early years of the Fazl Mosque. The building no longer exists, but this photo captures (from right to left): Chaudhry Ali Muhammad, Abdur Raheem Dard, and Yaqub Ali Irfani  in front of it.

Just two years later – at the age of just 26 – he held the post of ‘Post Officer’ (1920 – 1922), which may not sound like an important or senior post, but it certainly was, for it was during his period in this office that it was renamed as ‘Private Secretary’. So he had the distinction of being the very first person to hold the title of Private Secretary to a Khalifa.

You can see his essay’s in the ROR, see the Dec-1921 edition. The ROR of August-1921 reports that Maulawi Rahim Bakhsh, M.A., B.T. is about to be sent to London to relieve Fateh Muhammad Sayyal.

He was supposed to go to London in 1921 and relieve Fateh Muhammad Sayyal, however, this was cancelled abruptly, the ROR tells us the reason was financial embarrassment, however, we don’t know what that means.

The Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1922 has an article by Rahim Bakhsh (M.A.).

In Oct-1922, the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa forbade Ahmadi’s to call Muslims as Kafir’s openly, and most Qadiani-Ahmadi’s complied (see the ROR of Jan-Feb-Mar-1923, pages 46-75). The context of this letter is a situation wherein Lahori’s were arguing Qadiani’s somewhere (the location is not given). This letter was originally written in Urdu and translated into English by Mian Rahim Bakhsh (M.A.)(aka Maulana Abdur Raheem Dard). The ROR was edited by the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa’s brother Mirza Bashir Ahmad. Thus, this was verified by many high-level Ahmadi sources.

At birth, he was named Mian Rahim Baksh (or M. Rahim Baksh, see the ROR of January-1924 and March-1924). In the summer of 1924, he accompanied the Khalifa on his tour of the British empire and stayed in the UK as the missionary-in-charge. He returned to India by 1928. In the Oct-1924 edition of the ROR, his name is listed as Maulvi Rahim Bakhsh Dard. It seems that his name was changed by the Khalifa when they were in London. In the November-1924 and January-1925 edition of the ROR, the name Dard appears.

He travels with the Khalifa to London. The historic journey to London took them through many places including Damascus, Palestine and Egypt. They also visited Italy and France and finally reached England on 22 August 1924. The Wembley Conference on 23rd, September 1924 – at which Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan read out Hudhur’s speech ‘Ahmadiyyat, the True Islam’. It was during this visit, on the 19th of October, 1924 when Hudhur laid the foundation stone of the Fazl Mosque, the very first Mosque in London (also commonly known as the London Mosque) and appointed Maulana Dard as Missionary In-charge of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community UK. In this day and age where every modern facility is available this does not seem to be a major issue but it was a huge sacrifice to live thousands of miles away from home in a foreign land with meagre resources and without the modern communications we take for granted. Yet he bore this challenge with pride and he devoted his time to preaching, not only in the UK, but across Europe as well. He was phenomenally successful.

During his time, Maulana Dard oversaw the construction of the very first mosque in London that was opened in October 1926, and he had the honour of being appointed as its first Imam. The mosque has since played a critical role in the history of the Ahmadiyya community and indeed the wider world.

More on the name change, we have heard that this is due to an incident that took place many years later in early-1924 whilst on tour with Khalifatul Masih II in Dalhousie. At Dalhousie they received the good news that Chaudhry Fateh Muhammad Sial (the first Ahmadi missionary in England) had just acquired land for the construction of a mosque. A Jalsa of thanks was held at which Hudhur (Khalifatul Masih II) asked people to prepare and recite poetry. Hudhur was so impressed with Maulana Dard’s poetry that he said that he has turned out to be a hidden gem. The Mirza family always has their mullahs carry out their orders, since they know that they can trust these brainwashed mullahs. Maulana Abdur Raheem Dard is another such mullah.

Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard’s 1925 visit to the Netherlands. In 1925, Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard made history as the first Ahmadi missionary to visit the Netherlands! His arrival in Amsterdam, photographed in front of the C.S., marked a significant moment for the Ahmadiyya Community.
Invited by: A society called “De Vrij-Religieuse Tempel” (The Free Religious Temple), established in Amsterdam, invited Dard to deliver a series of lectures. His talks sparked great interest and gained extensive press coverage, spreading the message of MGA across the country.  This visit was a powerful step in sharing the true teachings of Islam and Ahmadiyyat with a new audience.

#IslamicHistory #Ahmadiyya #Netherlands

 

Early schedule of lectures: February 1925

Initially, Dard Sahib^ra was to visit the Netherlands in February 1925. De Tempel published an announcement about Dard Sahib’s^ra proposed lectures in the Netherlands under the heading “Vrij Religieuse Tempel, Valeriusplein 20, Amsterdam—Sunday Morning Meetings”. It stated that he will deliver a lecture, titled “Islam is the only living religion” on 15 February, and “Ahmad, the Promised Messiah” on 22 February. (De Tempel, 1 February 1925, Vol. 2, No. 21, p. 395)

An announcement was published in the 15 February issue as well.

On 16 February, Algemeen Handelsblad announced under the heading “A Mohammedan clergyman in Amsterdam”:

“Thursday, 19 February, in the evening at 8 o’clock, in a public meeting in the building of ‘De Vrij-Religieuse Tempel’ in Amsterdam, Valeriusplein 20, Mr Abdur Rahim Dard M. A., Mohammedan clergyman, will be the speaker. Subject: ‘Islam is the only living religion.’ The speech will be translated directly from English into Dutch.”

Vlissingse Courant of 17 February 1925 published a similar announcement.

Postponement of lectures

Unfortunately, these lectures were postponed due to unforeseen circumstances, as later explained by the Dutch press.

This postponement was announced by Algemeen Handelsblad in its 19 February issue, wherein it was mentioned that Dard Sahib^ra had to stay in London due to the martyrdom of two Ahmadis in Afghanistan: Maulvi Abdul Haleem Sahib and Maulvi Qari Noor Ali Sahib.

The same periodical mentioned this postponement in its 24 February 1925 issue, along with an introduction to Ahmadiyyat and the claims of the Promised Messiah^as:

“The following details were recently published in the Vrij-Religieuse weekly magazine ‘De Tempel’, about the reformist Mohammedan movement, a follower of which was to give a lecture in Amsterdam last week but was prevented from doing so at the last moment:

“‘The Ahmadiyya movement, which is now gaining more and more followers in Western Europe and America as well, is a purely religious movement in Islam of only a recent date. Founded in the year 1890 [sic., 1889] by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^[as], when the number of his followers was only 40, the movement already had several hundred thousand followers at the time of the Founder’s demise in May 1908. At present, in 1921, the number of Ahmadi Muslims amounted to almost a million. The centre of the movement is located in the town of Qadian, situated in the Punjab, at the foot of the Himalayas. Main branches are located in England, Germany, North America, West Africa, the Gold Coast, Mauritius, Egypt, Persia, Bukhara and Australia. The intention of Ahmad^[as] of Qadian was to purify Islam from all the evils, superstitions and abuses which had crept in during the later centuries.’”

Revised schedule for lectures: May 1925

In May 1925, De Tempel published a photograph of Hazrat Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard^ra, and provided a lengthy introduction of him and Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya. The article stated under the heading “A Muslim Teacher in Our Country”:

“Thursday evening, 7 May, and Sunday morning, 10 May, Mr Abdur Rahim Dard (Rahim Bakhsh) M.A. will speak for the Vrij Religieuse Tempel in the main building of De Vrij Religieuse Tempel, Valeriusplein 20, Amsterdam.

“As our readers will remember, Mr Dard was initially supposed to have given two lectures in Amsterdam in March [sic., February], but the murder in Afghanistan of two prominent Ahmadiyya followers forced him to stay in England. As this message arrived by telegram at the last moment, it was a great disappointment to many.

“On Wednesday, May 6, Mr Dard will arrive at the [Amsterdam] Centraal Station at 9:16 and will give two lectures on the dates mentioned above, for which, we have no doubt, there will be considerable interest.

“We believe this is the first time an Indian Mohammedan teacher will speak in public in our country, and it is certainly the first time that this will be an Ahmadiyya teacher. The Ahmadiyya movement in Islam is a reformist movement, about which a series of articles [by Miss Hidayat Budd] have been published in De Tempel.

“Mr Dard occupies a very important position in this movement that has more than a million followers. He has been in Europe for several months and has previously spent many years in Qadian under the leadership of Khalifatul Masih. […]

“So, one will soon have the privilege of being able to hear one of the most gifted and prominent leaders of this movement in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Vrij Religieuse Tempel seized this opportunity to invite Mr Abdur Rahim Dard to cross over to Holland, since it strives so much to help spread distinct insight of all directions in the spiritual domain of ​​life and thereby also to bring to light the unity that is perhaps often deeply hidden – synthetic and connecting – between all that is apparently far apart. […]

“May Mr Abdur Rahim Dard be given a pleasant welcome and witness a shown interest in a great mind and broad views.”

Towards the end, the article mentioned that “Mr Dard is the head of the Ahmadiyya mosque in London and regularly leads the services there.” (De Tempel, 1 May 1925, Vol. 3, No. 3, p. 48)

Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant also announced the revised schedule of his lectures in its 1 May 1925 issue, stating that Dard Sahib^ra “is the head of the Ahmadiyya mosque in London and regularly leads the services there.”

Dard Sahib’s^ra arrival in the Netherlands

On 6 May 1925, Hazrat Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard^ra arrived in the Netherlands. Upon his arrival, De Courant Het nieuws van den dag and De Telegraaf published his photograph with the following caption:

“Abdur Rahim Dard will speak tomorrow evening and Sunday morning at the Vrij Religieuse Tempel in Amsterdam.”

On the same day, Het volk: Dagblad voor de arbeiderspartij wrote:

“Vrij Religieuse Tempel, Valeriusplein 20. Thursday at 8 pm Mr Abdur Rahim Dard, a Mohammedan teacher, will speak.”

On 7 May 1925, De Telegraaf once again announced his arrival and also gave a detailed introduction of the Promised Messiah^as.

Algemeen Handelsblad published a photograph of Dard Sahib^ra in its 7 May 1925 issue.

The lectures

De Tempel, in its 15 May 1925 issue, published a detailed article about Dard Sahib’s^ra lectures, along with two photographs.

The first caption read: “I. Mr Abdur Rahim Dard M. A, photographed in front of the C.S. upon his arrival in Amsterdam. II. The Leader of the Vrij Religieuse Tempel.”

The second caption said: “Mr Dard, after the Sunday morning meeting, in the midst of a group of leading Temple members.”

The article began:

“At the invitation of De Vrij Religieuse Tempel, Mr Abdur Rahim Dard M.A. stayed in Amsterdam from 6 to 10 May and gave two lectures there. In a small press conference, arranged by us for this purpose, where representatives of various major groups showed their interest, we found Mr Dard willing to provide us with some information about the remarkable movement in Islam, of which he is a representative, and also about some issues of the East, seen from the standpoint of the Ahmadiyya.”

The article then mentioned Dard Sahib’s^ra message to the people of the Netherlands, wherein he stated that he has brought “the news that God has raised a Prophet in India. His name is Ahmad^[as]. He says that he has been sent by God. He comes from the East as the Gospel of Matthew says: ‘For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [Matthew, 24:28].’ The prophecy of the world has been fulfilled in the person of Ahmad^[as]. The people of Holland may believe in him, and that the keys that open heaven have been given to him. This is my message to your people. I am the first Indian who comes to you with this feeling of gratitude and brotherhood.” (De Tempel, 15 May 1925, Vol. 3, No. 4, p. 64)

The article gave a detailed introduction of the Promised Messiah^as and Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya in light of Dard Sahib’s^ra lectures. It wrote: “The world of Islam is divided and can only become one, said Mr Dard, if it unites in our Community.”

It further stated that “another important distinction” between the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and other religious movements is that it believe that “God still speaks in words.” (Ibid., p. 65)

Several other Dutch periodicals covered his visit and published his photographs as well.

De Tempel, on 1 August 1925, published an article titled “Dr. Rudolf Steiner’s Departure and the Spiritual Status of Europe”, by Marcel van de Velde, which mentioned:

“We had so recently such row of representatives of the East: Krishnamurti, Rabindranath Tagore, Sadhu Sundar Singh, Jinarajadasa, Murshid Inayat Khan, Abdur Rahim Dard, and those who will follow.”

More lectures: October 1925

De Tempel of 1 September 1925 announced additional lectures in October by Hazrat Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard^ra, under the heading “Lectures on Islam”:

“Mr Abdur Rahim Dard M. A. of London will give two lectures in the Vrij Religieuse Tempel, namely on Thursday evening 8 and Sunday morning 11 October. It will certainly be pleasant for many to meet this sympathetic Indian teacher again and those who were unable to attend last time will now have the opportunity to listen to his lecture. The interest in his previous lectures was great and will certainly not be less now.”

Announcing the lecture dated 11 October, Algemeen Handelsblad wrote on 10 October:

“The Vrij Religieuse Tempel, 10:30, Valeriusplein 20. Abdur Rahim Dard M. A., Mohammedan cleric of the Ahmadiyya Mosque in London. Subject: Life and Teachings of Mohammed^[sa].”

On 15 October 1925, De Tempel published the lecture of Hazrat Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard^ra, titled “Islam and civilization”. Mentioning this, Nieuwe Vlaardingsche Courant of 23 October 1925 wrote under the heading “The Temple”:

“The contents of the issue of October 15 of ‘De Tempel’, a magazine dedicated to Vrij Religieuse [Tempel], published by Mij. de Vrij Rel. Tempel, in Amsterdam, are as follows: […] Islam and Civilization, by Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard. […]”

Delftsche Courant of 23 October 1925 also referred to the same under the heading “De Tempel (Valeriusplein 20, Amsterdam)”:

“The Imam of the first mosque in London, Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard, writes about Islam and civilization.”

The second lecture was then published in the 1 November 1925 issue of De Tempel, titled “Life and Teachings of Muhammad”.

In his autobiography, Hazrat Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard^ra mentions a letter highlighting the significance of these lectures. He writes:

“On 5 September 1948, Hafiz Qudratullah wrote me from The Hague:

“‘The Holland Mission is indebted to you. You had delivered lectures in Amsterdam at some time, which were later compiled in a book form as well. We are utilising that [book] now. Once in London, while re-organising the old papers, I found around 60 copies of your book. I brought them here. Since we had no literature in Dutch yet, we have been utilising this very book. […] May Allah the Almighty reward you for this good work. Amin.’” (File)

Dard Sahib^ra also quotes a South African newspaper that mentions his lectures, stating:

“‘Islam and Civilisation’ is the title of the first of the three pamphlets. It is a lecture of Mr A.R. Dard (of London) delivered in Amsterdam last year. It treats of the various scientific discoveries made by Muslims.

“This London gentleman also delivered another address while he was residing in Amsterdam, ‘Life and Teachings of Muhammad’ follows the same plan as that outlined in ‘Islam and Civilisation’ which is suitable for distribution on a mass scale.” (The Moslem Outlook, 11 December 1926). (File)

In 1926, mentioning the upcoming inauguration of the Fazl Mosque, Tilburgsche Courant wrote under the heading “The Mosque in London”, and stated:

“The Imam (leader) of this first Mosque will be Maulvi Abdur Rahim Dard M. A. (this gentleman also appeared several times in Amsterdam as a speaker, as a guest of the Vrij Religieuse Tempel).” (Tilburgsche Courant, 30 September 1926)

In one of her articles for The Review of Religions, Miss Hidayat Budd mentioned the foundation laying ceremony for the first Free-Religious Temple in Holland, and wrote:

“In the annals of Ahmadiyyat in Holland the name of the Vrij Religieuse Tempel will ever be mentioned with gratitude: By the Grace of Allah, several times already Maulvi Abdur Rahiem Dard^[ra] has been a guest of this Society, delivering from its platform the Message of Ahmad^[as] to the Dutch public; and the bi-monthly paper of this Society, ‘De Tempel,’ is also always open to Islam.” (The Review of Religions, Vol. 25, July 1926, pp. 1-2)

On Oct-1, King Faisal seems to have landed in the UK and was received by A.R. Dard.

The Western Daily Press, Bristol of Oct-4-1926 reports that the King of Saudia (Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud) was supposed to open the Melrose Road mosque with Dr. A.R. Dard, even making the trip there but at the last minute he pulled out because he heard that it wasn’t a real Muslim mosque.

One of the key political roles played by Maulana Dard was in the All India Kashmir Committee. The origins of this committee lay in Hudhur’s concern for the plight of the Muslims of Kashmir and by 1931 the situation had deteriorated dramatically and Muslims were facing severe persecution at the hands of a tyrant Maharaja.

Hudhur was moved to bring together leading Muslims of India to help alleviate the suffering of Muslims in Kashmir and the All India Kashmir Committee was formed. At the recommendation of Dr Sir Muhammad Iqbal, Hudhur was elected the first president of the committee and Hudhur appointed Dard sahib its first secretary.

When Hudhur was granted a meeting with the Viceroy of India at Shimla, Maulana Dard was with him. In Shimla he met with political leaders and ministers and they were so impressed with his knowledge and political acumen that this opened doors to further discussions and resulted in great progress in helping the Kashmiri Muslims.

A great attribute of Maulana Dard was that despite the fact the he was regularly meeting and mixing with the highest authorities he never let such matters get to him and always remained humble and clear of the purpose of his mission. Once, Hudhur sent him to Sri Nagar on behalf of the Kashmir Committee to independently assess the situation. The Ahrar (an organisation that was opposed to Muslims) found out about this visit and they alerted the Maharaja of Kashmir to this. The Maharaja sent a full delegation to meet Maulana Dard at the border and they insisted that he stayed at the palace as their official guest. However, Maulana Dard refused and never moved an inch from his mission so that his impartiality could not be called into question. Despite the strenuous attempts by the Maharaja’s representative, he remained firm and stayed in a houseboat instead. Such was his sense of duty and purpose of mind. It was such acts that won him acclaim and respect.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1933-1938

In 1933 (See ROR of May-1933), Maulana Dard was again appointed to England for a second term as Imam of The London Mosque. He is mentioned in the ROR of May-1933 as doing religious work in London. (he officially took over the London mission on March-12, 1933 from Maulvi Farzand Ali, see ROR of May-1933).

He is also mentioned in the ROR of Aug-1933. Maulvi Muhammad Yar Arif (Secretary and assistant imam of the London mosque wrote a report on Ahmadiyya in London on July 20th, 1933, this report was published in the ROR of Sep-1933. He mentioned how Dard gave a speech to many visitors, how Zafrullah Khan was there. Zafrullah Khan had been in England for about 3 months, (June, July, August) and would be travelling to Canada on behalf of the British Government and then to the USA.

Dard’s report of missionary activity is published in the ROR of Nov-1933. He claims to have given a lecture at the Dorking Rotary Club. He talked about MGA’s prophecies like Dowie, Lekh Ram, the Great European War (doomsday earthquake), the destruction of the Czar dynasty (Russia). He also mentioned how Ahmadi’s are persecuted and killed in Afghanistan, Maulvi Abdul Latif and a few others. Dard also claims that M.M. Ahmad (B.A.) had recently came to London.

The ROR of Dec-1933 has a report of missionary work by Maulvi Muhammad Yar Arif (assistant imam of the London mosque) dated Oct-26-1933. He reports that Maulana Abdur Raheem Dard gave the Friday sermon. He then alleges that a Mr. and Mrs. Kween have accepted Ahmadiyya.
He also alleges that a South African man named Dr. Sullaiman’s (who was allegedly one of the most sincere Ahmadi’s of England) brother-in-law had converted to Ahmadiyya. He reports how Zafrullah Khan was in England and helping the Ahmadiyya mission. Maulvi Muhammad Yar Arif claims to have went to Hyde park and did some preaching.

His Khalifa insisted that Ahmadi-Mullahs get involved with politics, in fact, as an employee of Mirza Mahmud Ahmad, Dard did whatever he was told, without asking any questions, in typical Punjabee servitude. He is famously credited for convincing Jinnah to return to British-India and to work with Ahmadis and the British in terms of the partition of India after WW-2. Since the queen had promised to free India, since the indian people helped the Brits during WW-2.

Jinnah announced his plan to return to politics from an Ahmadi mosque in the UK
As we all know, Ahmadis were heavily involved in politics since at least 1889. Before that, MGA was favored in British-India, they dropped charged on MGA many times and always offered him a chair when he came to their court.  here is a famous incident from the late 1890’s wherein MGA’s biggest critic and old friend wasn’t given a chair…whereas MGA was. It’s obvious, that Ahmadis were always favored by the British and used to shape the politics of the sub-continent.

Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan (1978). Ahmadiyyat: the renaissance of Islam. Tabshir Publications. pp. 242–. He, therefore, directed Mr A. R. Dard, Imam of the London Mosque, to get in touch with Mr Jinnah and try to persuade … of 9 April 1933: There was a large gathering in the grounds of the mosque in Melrose Road, Wimbledon, where Mr Jinnah, ..

 

The Sunday Times of London reported:

“There was also a large gathering in the grounds of the little mosque in Melrose Road, Wimbledon, where Mr Jinnah, the famous Indian Moslem, spoke on India’s future. The chair was taken by Sir Nairne Stewart Sandeman, MP, and there were quite a number of other non-Moslems present. 

“Mr Jinnah made unfavourable comments on the Indian ‘White Paper’ and the ‘safeguards’ from a national point of view. The chairman, in reply, took up the Churchill attitude on the subject, and this led to heckling by some of the Muslim students present, who were, however, eventually calmed by the Imam of the Mosque.” (Sunday Times, 9 April 1933)

During his speech, Jinnah said:

“The eloquent persuasion of the Imam left me no escape.” (Encyclopaedia Quaid-e-Azam, p. 780, Zahid Hussain Anjum)

Elaborating on this, the Pakistan Times stated:

“It was Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan and Maulana Abdur Rahim Dard^[ra], an Imam of London Mosque, who persuaded Mr. M. A. Jinnah to change his mind and return home to play his role in the national politics. Consequently, Mr. Jinnah returned to India in 1934 and was elected to the Central Assembly, un-opposed.” (Pakistan Times, 11 September 1981, Quaid-I-Azam Anniversary Supplement, p. 11, col. 1)

The ROR of June-1934 alleges that the Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary Maulana Abdur Raheem Dard had 2000 letters published and sent to Holland (Netherlands).

July-12

Ahmadi sources allege that in July of 1935, King Faisal Crown Prince Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz visited the Qadiani Fazl Mosque in London, he is seen seated here with his colleague and Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary Jalal ud Din Shams giving a speech. However, Jalal ud Din Shams was reportedly in Qadian and soon to leave)(ROR of Oct-1935). Thus the timeline seems dubious. In the 2nd photo, King Faisal Crown Prince Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz is in front of the Al-Fazl Mosque with his entourage and Jalal ud Din Shams is also spotted. It could be Maulana Abdur Rahim Dard (who was the Imam in London in 1935).

The 3rd photo (seems to be from the 1950’s) you can see Hafiz Qudratullah, (Qadiani missionary in Holland) and Zafrullah Khan in what looks like the 1950’s, they are giving something (Ahmadiyya literature) to Prince Fahd Al-Faisal.

He decided to ask Dard to ask his father (the 2nd Khalifa) for advice on the matter. They decided to give the package back to the postmaster and refuse acceptance. Mirza Khalil Ahmad was able to open the packet and look at the contents, and they were anti-British, he then showed his father (the 2nd Khalifa) and he saw the same and sent this to the Governor of the Punjab. Then the police showed up and asked Dard about speaking to Mirza Khalil Ahmad, wherein Dard refused, the 2nd Khalifa heard about it and agreed to let his son speak to the police.

1981

The Sunday Times of London reported:

“There was also a large gathering in the grounds of the little mosque in Melrose Road, Wimbledon, where Mr Jinnah, the famous Indian Moslem, spoke on India’s future. The chair was taken by Sir Nairne Stewart Sandeman, MP, and there were quite a number of other non-Moslems present.

“Mr Jinnah made unfavourable comments on the Indian ‘White Paper’ and the ‘safeguards’ from a national point of view. The chairman, in reply, took up the Churchill attitude on the subject, and this led to heckling by some of the Muslim students present, who were, however, eventually calmed by the Imam of the Mosque.” (Sunday Times, 9 April 1933)

During his speech, Jinnah said:

“The eloquent persuasion of the Imam left me no escape.” (Encyclopaedia Quaid-e-Azam, p. 780, Zahid Hussain Anjum)

Elaborating on this, the Pakistan Times stated:

“It was Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan and Maulana Abdur Rahim Dard^[ra], an Imam of London Mosque, who persuaded Mr. M. A. Jinnah to change his mind and return home to play his role in the national politics. Consequently, Mr. Jinnah returned to India in 1934 and was elected to the Central Assembly, un-opposed.” (Pakistan Times, 11 September 1981, Quaid-I-Azam Anniversary Supplement, p. 11, col. 1)
