Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad's rape incident of 1905, which caused MGA to create an investigative committee

Intro
In 1965, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s told the world about an incident of rape by Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud from 1905, when he was only 16 and married (See Faruqi). See the scans in the below, they come from a book about the life of Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad from the 1940’s, in this book, they tried to explain away the entire issue as a mis-understanding. However, deeper research tells us that the daughter who was raped was that of Qazi Muhammad Zahuruddin Akmal (unconfirmed). This incident seems to be nail in the coffin which proved to all #ahmadis that he was not the Musleh Maud.

The Highschool/middle school was started in Qadian in 1898, Mahmud Ahmad entered as a student. Mahmud Ahmad was married at the age of 11-12 (1900-1901 era), he had lots of support from home, Noorudin worked around the clock to help him and other Ahmadi-mullahs would tutor him as needed. Even when he failed, the corrupt Ahmadi mullahs, Sher Ali and Mufti Sadiq would pass him. Nonetheless, he was a terrible student as a matter of fact, he would go on to fail his matriculation examination at the age of 15 and was thus done with all studying by 1903. We have to think that this allegation (and the plague) and Mahmud Ahmad’s failure at matriculating caused this school to close down. Mahmud Ahmad most likely engaged in some homsexual behaviors while he was there, in fact, many years later he was accused of raping men and women.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________Mahmud Ahmad’s famous immorality incident of 1906

Qadianis will never admit to this officially, however, the Lahori-Ahmadis have archived this event for us. Mumutaz Ahmad Faruqi briefly mentioned it in his polemic vs. the Qadianis. The name of the book is “Truth Triumphs”, it was published just a few months before Mahmud Ahmad passed away, this book caused so much of a stir that the Qadianis wrote an attempted refutation in 1966 feel free to read it here: https://alislam.org/library/books/truth_prevails/index.html

The Quote from Faruqi
Faruqi was very brief, however, here is the screen shot and reference finder: See page 40.

I found additional data in some old books on the life of Mahmud Ahmad

As i was researching Ahmadiyya in 2010, I came across some rare books on the life of Mahmud Ahmad from the 1940’s. Attached are the quotations from that book which seem to attempt to explain away the entire incident.

Fully typed out

“”…it has been observed that Mian Mahmud, from the earliest days, was regarded by the Ahmadies in general to be the Promised Son of the Sabz Ishtihar, being treated on that account unusual respect. As he grew in years and passed from childhood to adolescence, the tremendous capabilities that lay hidden in him began to unfold themselves, and respect towards him grew all the more deep in the hearts of those who were gifted with perception. There is another type of man, however, who invariable impulse is to tear to pieces those who are held in esteem by their fellowman–an impulse that springs from malicious envy. Unfortunately this trait is sometimes found also in the natures of otherwise inclined to be good. In proportion (or perhaps out of proportion) to the respect shown to Hazrat Mian Sahib, men of this type fumed within themselves. In 1906, or early in the year following, an incident happened which gave delight to men of this nature. It was a base attempt to injure the reputation of Hazrat Mian Sahib in connection with an affair with which he had no concern, nor knew anything about. A whisper went round among some compromising a young daughter of an attendant of the Promised Messiah and Hazrat Mian Sahib, and it was decided by these men that the unsuspecting simple-minded father of the girl should be set wise as to what was happening. The plan they adopted for this purpose was to write an anonymous message to that effect and to tie the bit of paper in a corner of the man’s turban when he was found off of his head dress, so that when he rewound it round his head his hand would feel the knot and he would then open it and see what was inside. Evidently this clever device resembled more the move of a conspirator bent on mischief rather than the action of an honorable person acting out of an honourable motive.

Anyway, the message was written and tied in the turban as they had planned and the man discovered it as expected. Naturally the poor old man was frightfully upset when he read the message. He at once hurried to the Promised Messiah and put the terrible piece of paper in his hands. The Promised Messiah, as may well he imagined, treated it as a very grave matter and appointed a commission to thoroughly investigate and report on the truth of the charge or otherwise. This commission consisted of Maulvi Nur ud Din, Maulvi Ahsan Amrohi, Khan Muhammad Ali Khan Rais of Malerkotla and Maulvi Abdul Kareem. The united verdict of the Commission was that the accusation has no basis whatever and that Hazrat Mian Sahib was completely innocent. The charge, however, being of such a heinous character and the young man compromised being his own beloved son, the pain it caused the Promised Messiah was great—so great that even when the Commission reported unanimously that Mian Sahib was innocent, it did not ease his mind. He gave expression to his uneasiness and said he was afraid that perhaps the Commissioners had let themselves be swayed by the fact that Mahmud was his son and taken a lenient view of the matter. He, therefore, referred the matter back to them with more emphasis on the point that they should go more thoroughly into it and report without any thought of favor to Mahmud. Khan Muhammad Ali Khan, at this stage, pleaded inability to remain on the commission anymore as, he said, he could not, in conscience return a verdict any different to the one he had given already and which had failed to set the mind of the Promised Messiah at rest. Maulvi Muhammad Ahsan, too, signified his intention to do the same, and only two men were left on the Commission—Hazrat Maulvi Nur-ud-Din and Maulvi Abdul Karim.

The scandalous whisper, meanwhile, had also reached the ears of Maulvi Sarwar Shah, who in his own private capacity had followed it up and tried to trace it back to its source. This source turned out to be a woman who need not be named. Maulvi Sarwar Shah took hold of her husband and in his presence, across a partition, asked her directly what was the basis for the things she had been saying, and she named three other women. Once of these three was the wife of M. Mohammad Afzal Khan, the Proprietor of the Badr, the second was a woman named Maqbulan, and Maulvi Sarwar Shah now does not remember who was the third. Maulvi Sahib at that time, as it happened by chance, had his board arrangements at the house of M. Mohammad Afzal Khan; and therefore he had no difficulty in asking Mrs. Mohammad Afzal what was at the bottom of the matter. She was horrified to hear how an innocent remark made her herself had been twisted and formed into a basis for the scandal–a remark which was not concerned with Mian Mahmud except indirectly and in the remotest possible way. She related that she, with two other women had happened to be sitting in a part of the Promised Messiah’s house where the girl in question also happened to be present. While they were all there, Mian Mahmud had chanced to pass that way. As was his habit, the same as that of his father, he has passed with eyes on the ground immediately in front of his feet, without as much as a look right of left, most likely unaware as to whom he had passed by and who was there. She noticed that the girl had taken no notice of him, i.e., she had not troubled to see that her (Dubata)(head scarf), which had happened to come off, was properly in place. She thought that this carelessness was not quite proper on her part even though the girl knew, as she most probably did, that Mian Mahmud never looked this way or that if he happened to pass by. After Mian had gone out of earshot she had spoken to the girl that she ought not to be so careless.

This was the incident from which the scandal arose, and it is evident that Mian Sahib has no part in it whatever, nor did he know that any such incident had happened.

Now let us turn to the Commission. Where Khan Muhammad Ali Khan and Maulvi Muhammad Ahsan signified their inability to serve on it any longer and went away, Hazrat Maulvi Nur-ud-Din said to Maulvi Abdul Karim : “You and I cannot take the step which these two gentlemen have taken: you had better go to the Promised Messiah and submit again that there is no basis for the outrageous scandal. Maulvi Abdul Karim acted upon this advice. While in the presence of the Promised Messiah, the more to convince him, he has also mentioned that Maulvi Sarwar Shah too had come to hear of the matter and had looked into it on his own, but his finding too was the same as their’s. “”If that is so” said the Promised Messiah, “”‘I will enquire from Maulvi Sarwar Shah, and I am confident he will not say what is not true””. Maulvi Sarwar Shah was then sent for and he explained how the terrible lie had originated. This evidence setthe mind of the Promised Messiah at rest and he said that the men who were concerned in having originated the scandal should apologize publicly as the damage done by them had become of a public nature. Failing this, he added, he would have nothing to do with them in the future. These people therefore expressed their regret and the frightful lie was given a burial.

These facts I have obtained personally from Maulvi Sarwar Shah Sahib, directly, on two occasions: for the first time when in the course of his Khutbah Juma on one occasion he referred to the matter and narrated the whole story ; and secondly, on December 10, when I had these facts confirmed by the means of a personal interview.”””

What do these quotes tell us?

Mahmud Ahmad had some serious allegations against him in Qadian in 1906, he was harassing women and no one was brave enough to turn him in, however, eventually he was turned in. MGA then ordered an inquiry commission to investigate these instances of immoral behavior. Mahmud Ahmad was a married man, he didnt have children, however, he did have a wife, nonetheless, he sure acted like he was single and a Christian. Co-incidentally, as Mahmud Ahmad grew up he would continue to live just as immoral, and with the protection of the British Govt.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________Muhammad Ali, the Lahori-Ahmadi was also the investigative committee–1907

Muhammad Ali knew that Mahmud Ahmad was guilty, in-fact, almost all the elders knew that he was guilty, however, the conviction of Mahmud Ahmad would be damaging to the entire mission of Ahmadiyya, so, they allowed him to walk free and blamed it on a lack of witnesses. Interestingly enough, Muhammad Ali wrote a lengthy and positive review of Mahmud Ahmad and his newspaper, the Tashizazul Adhan. Muhammad Ali seems to be a prisoner of consequence, and could never write ill of anyone from the Mirza family.
