Intro
In the 1960’s, Shukoor Ahmed was born in Hyderabad, India to a Qadiani-Ahmadi family (See page 17). His great-grand-uncles were Maulana Shaukat Ali and Mohammad Ali Jouhar of the Khilafat movement. Interestingly, Shukoor Ahmed wrote his own biography in 2014 and never admitted to being a member of the Ahmadiyya cult, in fact, he called “his faith community”, the word Ahmadi or Ahmadiyya doesn’t appear at all. Interestingly, he admitted in this book that he married his wife only because he desired to come to America.
In the 1970’s, Shukoor Ahmed preferred Cricket over religion and despised going to the Ahmadiyya temple (See page 17).
In 1983, he was working illegally in Saudi Arabia with his father (See page 3). His future wife (Nabeela, daughter of Kalimullah Khan, an excise inspector and mother Naseera Khan) and family visited India also. The mother of Shukoor Ahmed had a cousin in India and they were at their house. They decided to marry their children together. This is how Shukoor Ahmed got a visa to the USA. Shukoor Ahmed was working as a travel agent (See page 8).
In 1986-1987, Shukoor Ahmed visited Nabeela and her family in the United States after attending a training course by Pan American Airlines.
In 1988 (Mar-23), Shukoor Ahmed arrived in the USA and was helped out immensely by his in-laws to get him settled in with his new wife. His new wife even bought him a car. His younger brother, Hadi Ahmed also came to the USA and was supported by Nabeela and her family.
In 1989, he married Nabeela.
In 1990-1992, he played cricket endlessly. He also worked in the Ahmadiyya jamaat as Additional Finance Secretary (see his linkedin profile). Established Ahmadiyya Cricket Club with Usman Ijaz of Northern Virginia in 1990 as part of Washington Cricket League and lead the team in 1990 and 1991 season. National Outreach Secretary 1992-1993. Washington Metro President 1991-1995. Local Outreach Secretary, 1990-1991.
In 1993, his daughter, Raaheela Ahmad was born.
in 1994, Shukkor Ahmed got involved in Qadiani affairs, Majlis Khuddam ul Ahmadiyya. He held a dozen or more leadership positions from 1994-2014. In 1994, during the inauguration of Bait-ur-Rahman Mosque and the 46th Annual Convention, he gave me the responsibility of leading community outreach and bringing civic and political leaders to the event. Some senior members questioned whether I was ready for such a role, but Masoud Malik Sahib believed in me without reservation.
In 1995, he began working as Director of Public Affairs for the entire USA jamaat (national level)(See his linkedin profile). He alleges that he assisted and worked with Anser Ahmed to get the by-laws of Humanity First and also assisted Munum Naeem Sahib in getting 501 (c) 3 done for Humanity First. He was also working as regional President of MKA.
In 1996, he became local Jamaat President for Washington Metro (April to June). Then, in July-1996, he became local Jamaat President for Maryland, he worked this job until 1998 (See his linkedin profile).

In 1998, Shukoor Ahmed stood for local elections as a Democratic candidate (See page 33). Shukoor Ahmed also began working with the semi-famous Ahmadi, Tazeen Ahmad. He was failing in college too, graduate work proved to be too hard.
In 1999, Shukoor Ahmed was appointed as President of Majils Khuddam ul Ahmadiyya USA (MKA-USA)(See his linkedin profile).
In 2000, he started his tech company, V-empower Inc, which doesn’t seem to have ever made any money.
In 2002, Shukoor Ahmed stood for local elections as a Democratic candidate and lost. Shukoor Ahmed was also involved in organizing Jack Johnson’s 2002 race for County Executive of Prince George’s County, Maryland. Shukoor Ahmed had gotten close to the then State’s Attorney Jack Johnson after his 1998 run. Jack was caught in some illegal and unethical activities later on in his reign as County Executive that put him in jail. It just goes to show…you can’t always know what someone is truly like. You can only hope that the truth will come out eventually (See page 41).
In 2003, Shukoor Ahmed was in debt, 300k (See page 43).

In 2007, was a prime year for Shukoor Ahmed’s company. It was ranked as Deloitte’s #1 Fastest Growing Company in Maryland and #267 in the United States by Inc. Magazine (See page 51). He was also working in the Jamaat as President, Laurel (July to February) 2007-2009 and as Local Public Affairs Secretary, Laurel 2007-2010.
In 2009, my company began spiraling downward due to the loss of certain contracts. Essentially, I had taken some big risks and they did not pan out. If it weren’t due to the timely
help of my friends, we probably would have been driven out of business. Nabeela contributed by allowing me to borrow a significant amount of money from her retirement plan. I already liquidated my retirement plan in order to keep the business afloat. I was bent on keeping V-Empower, Inc. alive not for my own benefit but for the benefit of my employees. At this point, if the company went out of business, dozens of employees would have lost their source of income. I had to do everything possible to prevent that from happening. Nabeela understood this intention better than anyone (See page 55).
In 2010, Shukoor Ahmed stood for local elections as a Democratic candidate and lost (See page 57).
In 2014, Shukoor Ahmed stood for local elections as a Democratic candidate and lost, his daughter (Raheela Ahmad) ran for the county board of education and lost.

In 2018, Shukoor Ahmed’s younger daughter (Shabnam) ran against the same opponent her father had lost to four years earlier. She lost by a mere 42 votes.
In 2026 (Jun), Raaheela Ahmed is trying to get elected in the Democratic primary for the Maryland State Senate, in the 23rd Legislative District. It seems that Ron Watson and Maryland Senate Democrats have exposed Raaheela Ahmed as someone who bought local properties at a tax sale and thus accelerated the foreclosures of many homes. This has upset Raaheela Ahmed and her supporters and she has hired a law firm to sue for libel. In the paperwork, the lawyers of Raaheela Ahmed alleged that all of these properties were returned to their owner, however, this makes it even more fishy, was this Ahmadi’s in Joppatown that she did favors for? Nevertheless,
