Intro
Mirza Fadl Ahmad (also spelled Mirza Fazal Ahmad or Mirza Fazl Ahmad), was the second son of MGA from his first marriage (with Hurmat Bibi), born in roughly 1860 (Ahmadiyya sources push it back 4-5 years to 1855). His only sibling was Mirza Sultan Ahmad (born in roughly 1856-1858). Mirza Ghulam Ahmad had two sons from his first wife, which he neglected, those sons were pretty much raised by their uncle and Grandfather. MGA was not allowed to raise them.
In the 1870’s, Mirza Fazl Ahmad married his maternal uncle’s (Mirza Ali Sher Baig) daughter (Izzat Bibi).
In 1883, half of the family fortune fell into the lap of MGA, while the other half was given to MGA’s eldest son, Mirza Sultan Ahmad, this was only because he had been adopted by MGA’s brother and there were specific instructions to carry this out. In 1891, he was working as a police officer in Jammu. MGA sent Mufti Muhammad Sadiq to check on him, since he was also in Jammu.
Initially (roughly 1886-1890), MGA told Mirza Fazl Ahmad to divorce his wife and he seems to have agreed (in terms of the Muhammadi begum saga). However, it also seems that he had 2 wives at the time (the other wife is totally unknown)(see Seeratul Mahdi quote, #36) and by 1891, he was on the side of Muhammadi Begum.
Further, in 1892, when Muhammadi Begum got married, MGA disinherited Mirza Fadl Ahmad (see Dard, page 334 and pages 330-331).
He disappeared in Ahmadiyya sources from 1892 to 1903.
He died in 1904 in Montgomery (modern day Sahiwal), Punjab, British India (See Maulvi Muhammad Ali in “Heresy in Islam” [1922], page 83). MGA didn’t even pray Janaza-absentia. MGA was allegedly restless all night when he got the news. The dead body of Mirza Fadl Ahmad was brought to Qadian, he was most likely buried in the old family graveyard. It seems that Mirza Ghulam Murtaza owned 2 villages near Sahiwal, Ahmadabad and Qadirabad, both named after his sons (See Seeratul Mahdi).
He is mentioned briefly in the ROR of June-1939. He is mentioned in the ROR of March-1944, as the 2nd Khalifa claimed to be the Musleh Maud. The life and time of Mirza Fazl Ahmad were also discussed by Bro Imtiaz and Dr. Izhar Khan herein (4:56:26 time stamp).

1870’s
Mirza Fazl Ahmad married a daughter of Mirza Sher Ali Baig in roughly the early 1870’s
MGA most likely attended the wedding function and the girl must have moved to Qadian. Her name was Izzat Bibi (see Dard, page 333). Mirza Fazl Ahmad and Izzat Bibi had no children. Mirza Ali Sher Baig was MGA’s brother-in-law from his first marriage. Mirza Ali Sher Baig was MGA’s first wife’s elder brother. Mirza Fazl Ahmad thus married his first maternal cousin. Eventually, Mirza Fazl Ahmad didn’t divorce his wife per the order of MGA, thus upsetting his relationship with MGA and being excluded from all inheritance.

See Seeratul Mahdi
(40) In the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Hazrat Walida Sahiba narrated to me that from the beginning, the Promised Messiah was sort of separated from Mirza Fazal Ahmad’s mother, who was more popularly known as “Pajjay di Maan”. The reason for this was for his family’s extreme disinterest in religion. She should meet with them so she was influenced by them. Hazrat Sahib stopped having sex with her but would cover her expenses but when he got married to me, he sent her a proposition, “What has happened between us is what it is. Now I have gotten married and I will be a sinner if I do not treat both wives equally so you have two options: You either divorce me or forfeit your rights that are incumbent upon me, only then I will pay your expenses.” She sent back the proposition saying, “I am an old woman, where will I go now with a divorce? I forfeit all my rights. Please pay my expenses.” Walida Sahiba states that it happened accordingly, until when Hazrat Sahib’s family opposed him and got Muhammadi Begum married to someone other than him and Fazal Ahmad’s mother did not cut relations with them and continued living with them, then Hazrat Sahib gave her a divorce. Yours humbly submits that when Hazrat Sahib gave the divorce, he published in his May 2, 1891 announcement, titled in red, “Announcement for the Help of Religion and the Cutting off of Relations with Relatives, the Enemies of Religion.” In this, he announced that if Mirza Sultan Ahmad and his mother will not be separated in the opposing efforts, then he would boycott Mirza Sultan Ahmad and he would be denied inheritance and his mother must assume this to be a divorce with her. Walida Sahiba used to say that Fazal Ahmad saved himself from being boycotted by Hazrat Sahib. Moreover, Walida Sahib said, “Sultan Ahmad’s mother was sick and I had permission to see her from Hazrat Sahib so I went to see her and when I came back, I told him about her health. He did not respond so I told him again. “He said, take these two tablets to her but do not say my name in front of the world.” This way, I sometimes met her if ever needed with Hazrat Sahib’s hints without saying his name.”

He died in 1904 in Montgomery (modern day Sahiwal), Punjab, British India (See Maulvi Muhammad Ali in “Heresy in Islam” [1922], page 83). MGA didn’t even pray Janaza-absentia. MGA was allegedly restless all night when he got the news. The dead body of Mirza Fadl Ahmad was brought to Qadian, he was most likely buried in the old family graveyard.
When Mirza Fazal Ahmad died and the news of his death reached Qadian, the eyewitnesses say that sadness was visible on the face of MGA. The children were [playing and] setting off firecrackers and Nusrat Jehan (MGA’s wife) forbade them because the news of their brother’s demise had been received. MGA told Nusrat Jehan that, “They are just kids, what do they know about it! Let them play their games and do not stop them.”

MGA boycotted the funeral
Heresy in Islam [A Refutation of Declaring a Muslim an Unbeliever (Kafir)] — www.aaiil.org
After the split of 1914, Mahmud Ahmad began to tell Ahmadis it was unlawful to pray for dead Muslims, since they were Kafir according to MGA and his sons. Whereas the Lahori-Ahmadis disagreed.
I will type more of this out in the next few days, however, here is the source. It is a book by Muhammad Ali from 1922, wherein he quotes Mahmud Ahmad’s book of 1916, Anwar-i-Khilafat. To get the original source we will have to get a scan of that book and translate the relevant portions.
The reference comes from Muhammad Ali’s 1922 book entitled, “Heresy in Islam”, in this book he really attacked Mirza Mahmud Ahmad and his writings on the topic of Mirza Fazl Ahmad and his untimely death in 1904.
See pages 82-89
_____________________________________________________________________________________________Muhammad Ali references “Anwar-i-Khilafat” (1916)
pg. 83
It took Muhammad Ali 6 years to specifically respond to Mahmud Ahmad on this point. Nonetheless, he writes as follows:
“Mian Mahmud Ahmad tells us that the founder praised the obedience of the deceased yet did not offer funeral prayers for him. The conclusion has been drawn from this instance is that according to the Founder funeral prayers for people who had not formally taken the oath of allegiance, though they admitted the truth of his claim, was unlawful”

(36) In the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Hazrat Walida Sahiba narrated to me that when Muhammadi Begum’s marriage had taken place with someone else and all of Hazrat Sahib’s relatives in Qadian had vehemently opposed him, by giving Ahmad Beg, the father of of Muhammadi Begum, support by trying their best to get Muhammadi Begum married to someone else. At that time, Hazrat Sahib wrote a letter to Mirza Sultan Ahmad and Mirza Fazal Ahmad separately, in which he said, “All these people have vehemently opposed me. Now, we have no relations with them anymore and now our graves cannot be with theirs. Therefore, make your final decision then on if you want to maintain any relations with me then you must cut all relations with them and if you do not cut relations with them then you have no relations with me. In that case, I will cut relations with you and not give you any inheritance.” Walida Sahiba narrates that Mirza Sultan Ahmad’s response came, in which he said that his maternal uncle’s wife had bestowed great favours upon him so he could not cut relations with her. However, Mirza Fazal Ahmad wrote, “My relations are only with you; I have no relations with anyone else.” Hazrat Sahib then responded saying, “If this is the matter then divorce your wife, the daughter of Mirza Ali Sher (a vehement opponent and paternal niece of Mirza Ahmad Beg).” Mirza Fazal Ahmad immediately filed for divorce and left to travel to Hazrat Sahib. Walida Sahiba states, “Then Fazal Ahmad would come from outside and stay with us but his second wife’s evil finally caused him to slowly, slowly join there.” Walida Sahiba states that Fazal Ahmad was very shy and would not raise his eyes up in front of Hazrat Sahib. Hazrat Sahib used to say regarding him, “Fazal Ahmad is of a simple and straightforward nature and he has the potential of love but he was made to slip by others and it made him join with them over there.” Moreover, Walida Sahiba states that when the news of Fazal Ahmad’s death reached Hazrat Sahib, Hazrat Sahib did not sleep all night and remained depressed for two or three days. Yours humbly inquired, “Did Hazrat Sahib also utter something?” Walida Sahiba stated that he only said this much, “We had no relation with him but opponents will indeed take his death as a target for objections.” Yours humbly submits that Muhammadi Begum is the daughter of the Promised Messiah’s paternal cousin-sister, Umr un Nisa. This means that she is the real maternal niece of Mirza Nizam ud Deen, Mirza Imam ud Deen etc. Our older paternal uncle’s wife, widow of Mirza Ghulam Qadir Sahib is the blood maternal aunt of Muhammadi Begum and Mirza Ahmad Beg Hoshiarpuri, who was the father of Muhammadi Begum, was the brother in law of Imam ud Deen etc. Additionally, there were other family ties. For instance, the real sister of the Promised Messiah was married to the older brother of Ahmad Beg but he died young; this was a long time ago. All of these relatives of the Promised Messiah were of the lowest level of irreligious people and people of no religion. Also, they had nothing to do with Islam, rather, they would disrespect the Shariah. Hazrat Sahib turned his intention towards God so that the family may be shown some sign or reformed or another decision be made pertaining to them. Therefore, God said, “If they agree to your proposal in the system of marriage to Ahmad Beg’s daughter, Muhammadi Begum and have you married with her then these people will be given a portion of blessings. If they reject then the punishment of Allah will descend upon them and their home will be filled with widows.” Additionally, specially pertaining to the girl’s father, God said that he would die within three years and die soon and the other person who marries the girl would die within two and a half years. The sign was fulfilled pertaining to the above-mentioned individuals and the Promised Messiah’s books contain them in numerous places. This means that Ahmad Beg left this world according to the prophecy only a few months after his daughter’s Nikah. Also, Mirza Sultan Muhammad, who people had Muhammadi Begum married to was scared of God’s punishment and many of his relatives wrote letters to Hazrat Sahib in humility which came in. Moreover, Mirza Sultan Muhammad’s letter in which he expressed his good faith in Hazrat Sahib was published in Risalah Tash’heez ul Azhan. This is why it is according to the way of Allah that that punishment was averted. The effect of the general prophecy that pertains to the remaining relatives was that the home which was full of men at the time of the prophecy has now become empty. There is now only one child remaining among the men and he has become an Ahmadi. Other than him, Mirza Imam ud Deen’s daughter has also become an Ahmadi for some time. Then, Muhammadi Begum’s mother, widow of Mirza Ahmad Beg, and Mirza Ahmad Beg’s paternal grandson and our uncle’s widow, Muhammadi Begum’s maternal aunt have all entered into Baiy’at. Moreover, Muhammadi Begum’s sister has also become an Ahmadi but she has now died. Other than them, many other relatives have become Ahmadi and those who have not entered the community have ceased from opposing it. The Promised Messiah also had a revelation that some would enter in the way of Hasan and some would enter in the way of Hussain. Hencetherfore, this has been fulfilled in its glory.

Additional stories from Seeratul Mahdi
(23) In the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Hazrat Walida Sahiba narrated to me, “When your older paternal uncle (Mirza Ghulam Qadir Sahib, older brother of Hazrat Sahib) died childless so his widow asked Hazrat Sahib if he could sign over the inheritance of property to Mirza Sultan Ahmad by way of adoption because it would be as if it is already going into the same home. Hazrat Sahib agreed to it for the happiness of your paternal uncle’s widow and gave all of your paternal uncle’s property to Mirza Sultan Ahmad.” I asked Walida Sahiba, “In what way did Hazrat Sahib agree to the adoption?” She replied, “How could adoption be done after your older paternal uncle died? It was just a verbal statement and Hazrat Sahib therefore, wrote all of the property of your paternal uncle under Mirza Sultan Ahmad’s name, without giving his own name, just to make your paternal uncle’s widow happy. Hazrat Sahib foresaw that Mirza Sultan Ahmad’s inheritance would be split with Mirza Fazal Ahmad so within his life he already split the inheritance.”
(24) In the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Hazrat Walida Sahiba narrated to me, “When Mirza Fazal Ahmad died, I told Hazrat Sahib that only Fazal Ahmad would divide the inheritance of the land from among your children and now he has died.” Yours humbly submits that our paternal grandfather had two sons, one being Hazrat same, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his older brother, Mirza Ghulam Qadir. He named two villages in Qadian after his two sons, Qadirabad and Ahmedabad. For some reason, Ahmedabad slipped out of the hands of our family but only Qadirabad remained. Qadirabad was distributed among the children of Hazrat Sahib and a portion of it was inherited by Mirza Sultan Ahmad. Then after forty years of Ahmedabad being out of the family, finally came back to our family and now Ahmedabad is completely owned by us three brothers and Mirza Sultan Ahmad Sahib has no portion in it. Yours humbly submits that Qadirabad is situated towards the east of Qadian and Ahmedabad is located towards the west of Qadian.
(40) In the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Hazrat Walida Sahiba narrated to me that from the beginning, the Promised Messiah was sort of separated from Mirza Fazal Ahmad’s mother, who was more popularly known as “Pajjay di Maan”.

I forfeit all my rights. Please pay my expenses.” Walida Sahiba states that it happened accordingly, until when Hazrat Sahib’s family opposed him and got Muhammadi Begum married to someone other than him and Fazal Ahmad’s mother did not cut relations with them and continued living with them, then Hazrat Sahib gave her a divorce. Yours humbly submits that when Hazrat Sahib gave the divorce, he published in his May 2, 1891 announcement, titled in red, “Announcement for the Help of Religion and the Cutting off of Relations with Relatives, the Enemies of Religion.” In this, he announced that if Mirza Sultan Ahmad and his mother will not be separated in the opposing efforts, then he would boycott Mirza Sultan Ahmad and he would be denied inheritance and his mother must assume this to be a divorce with her.

Zikr-e-Habib: A beloved remembered – Part 4
Nubuwwat [prophethood] and muhaddathiyyat [station of being Divinely inspired]
During the conversation on the occasion of the feast [in Amritsar], Maulvi [Ahmadullah] Sahib presented this issue to the Promised Messiahas that, “It seems from some of your writings that you claim to be a prophet. For to this reason, people are deviating from the right path.” The Promised Messiahas explained what is meant by it [i.e. his claim of being a prophet]. Subsequently, Maulvi Sahib said, “Please write a note that wherever there is the word ‘nubuwwat’ [prophethood] in your writings, it does not in any way nullify khatm-e-nubuwwat [seal of prophethood] and it means muhaddathiyyat. The Promised Messiahas said, “Certainly, I will write it down.” Consequently, the Promised Messiahas put it on paper and gave it to Maulvi Sahib, which he kept with himself to show to those people who used to issue a fatwa [edict] of disbelief against the Promised Messiahas for the reason [that he broke the seal of prophethood].
[At the time of the above incident, the Promised Messiahas used to interpret his revelations regarding his nubuwwat and considered them to mean muhaddathiyyat. However, soon after, the revelations of Allah the Almighty descended upon the Promised Messiahas like rain and assured him that he was indeed the appointed reformer of the ageand a prophet of God.]
On one of those days, some troublemakers misled by the opposing maulvis came to attack the house where we were staying [in Amritsar]. They wanted to enter the zenana on the top floor of the house. However, a few Ahmadis who were present there bravely stood on the stairs and stopped them and later when the police arrived, those people dispersed.
[People flock to meet the Promised Messiah]
When the news of the Promised Messiahas reached Amritsar, several people from various cities came [to meet him]. Consequently, Muhammad Khan Sahib and Munshi Zafar Ahmad Sahib from Kapurthala stayed there for numerous days.
It was summer. As I and Munshi Sahib were both thin and of short stature, we used to lie down on the same charpoy. One night, around 10 pm, I went to the theatre, which was close to the house and after the show was over, I came back at 2 am. In the morning, Munshi Zafar Ahmad Sahib, in my absence, complained to the Promised Messiahas that Mufti Sahib had gone to the theatre at night. The Promised Messiahas said, “Once, I also went there in order to find out as to what happens there.” The Promised Messiahas did not say anything else. Munshi Zafar Ahmad Sahib himself mentioned to me that, “I had gone to the Promised Messiahas with your complaint. I thought the Promised Messiahas would beckon and admonish you, but Huzooras only said that once he too went there and one gets to know many things.” I said, “The Promised Messiah’s not saying anything is also an admonishment. Huzooras knew you would mention it to me.”
[Opponents did not succeed in Ludhiana]
After staying in Amritsar for several days, I left, but the Promised Messiahas stayed there for a few more days. Thereafter, when the Deputy Commissioner from Ludhiana wrote to Huzooras that he could stay in Ludhiana like the other subjects and that he was not responsible for anything, the Promised Messiahas went back to Ludhiana. When we were staying in Amritsar, a letter was written to the Deputy Commissioner of Ludhiana and the aforementioned reply was thus received from him. It was also informed that Maulvi Muhammad Hussain Sahib Batalvi and other opponents had not succeeded in their plans.
[Journey to Lahore with the Promised Messiah]
It was probably the month of December in 1891 that I went to Qadian along with Khan Bahadur Ghulam Muhammad Sahib, who was a student at Jammu High School at the time, and one of my dear friends of the same name, Maulvi Muhammad Sadiq Sahib. These two companions wanted to take bai‘at of the Promised Messiahas, so they both pledged allegiance in Qadian and then we went to Lahore from Qadian along with the Promised Messiahas. We travelled in the inter-class of the train [i.e. the class between the second and the third], and then we reached the house from the Lahore station on a horse-driven carriage. In those days, horse-driven carriages were commonly used in Lahore. The Promised Messiahas first stayed at Miran Bakhsh Sahib’s house and after that, another house was rented. Upon the Promised Messiah’s arrival [in Lahore], there was great excitement in the city. A large group of people was always present at the house. The family members of the Promised Messiahas were also staying with him. When the Promised Messiahas would come out and sit in the gathering, he would deliver a brief speech and then answer the questions of people.
[Mahdi claimant]
During those days, there was a person in Lahore who claimed to be Mahdi, but the people believed him to be insane. He was not a scholarly person. He suddenly came to the Promised Messiahas in the marketplace and clasped him in his arms and started saying in a loud voice, “As I am the Mahdi, why have you claimed to be Mahdi?” Sheikh Rehmatullah Sahib grabbed him and pulled him back. The Promised Messiahas asked Sheikh Sahib to leave him alone and not be harsh on him. Since Maulvi Muhammad Sadiq Sahib and I had to go back to work, we only stayed there for a day or two and left. The Promised Messiahas stayed there for several days. I remember that Mian Khairuddin Sahib of Sekhwan was also accompanying the Promised Messiahas on this journey.
[Milk and curd shop in Qadian]
When I first went to Qadian at the end of 1890, there was only one shop that sold milk and curd. The shopkeeper was a Hindu who used to bring a karahi [a small cauldron] of milk in the morning and from what was left by the evening, he would make its curd.
[Kasuf-o-Khusuf (solar and lunar eclipses)]
At the time when the prophecy of the solar and lunar eclipses was fulfilled in the month of Ramadan, I was still a teacher in the state of Jammu, but was in Qadian as there were some holidays [at school]. The Promised Messiahas had written an article about it. This article was printed and sent to Qadian, but the Promised Messiahas stopped it from being distributed and said, “Let the sun be eclipsed and then publish it. It is the work of Allah the Almighty and what can we say about it. It is possible that there occurs such a change in the sky that the sun may not be eclipsed.”
The year in which the sun was completely eclipsed and the whole sun was covered and the prophecy of اِذَا الشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ [“When the sun is veiled” (Surah al-Takwir, Ch.81: V.2)] was fulfilled, on that day, Salat-ul-Kusuf [the prayer performed during solar eclipse] was offered in Masjid Aqsa. Maulvi Muhammad Ahsan Sahib Amrohi led the prayer. When the worshippers carried out prayers while weeping and crying [during the Salat], an echo was produced in the dome of the mosque.
[Mirza Fazal Ahmad Sahib]
While I was still employed in Jammu, the Promised Messiahas sent a letter to me from Qadian stating that, “Mirza Fazal Ahmad is employed in the police department in Jammu. He has not sent any letters home for many days and his mother is very worried. You should enquire about his state and well-being and inform us by post.”
Then, on another occasion, a similar letter was received again, and both times, I wrote back after enquiring about the situation. This incident happened around 1893-94.
Mirza Fazal Ahmad Sahib was the second son of the Promised Messiahas from his first wife. His physical features were very similar to Hazrat Sahibzada Mian Bashir Ahmad Sahib. He passed away childless.
When Mirza Fazal Ahmad Sahib died and the news of his death reached Qadian, the eyewitnesses say that sadness was visible on the face of the Promised Messiahas. The children were [playing and] setting off firecrackers and Hazrat Ummul Momineenra forbade them because the news of their brother’s demise had been received. The Promised Messiahas told Hazrat Amma Janra that, “They are just kids, what do they know about it! Let them play their games and do not stop them.”
[The Promised Messiah gave the copies of Surma Chashm-e-Arya]
Once, during the summer holidays, I went to Qadian from Jammu to meet the Promised Messiahas. Those were the days when Hazrat Maulvi Nuruddin Sahib, Khalifatul Masih Ira, had also migrated to Qadian and the construction of the house where he used to practise medicine had been completed. He used to sit there almost the whole day. Once, I was sitting in the company of Hazrat Hakim Maulvi Nuruddin Sahibra in that clinic when suddenly the Promised Messiahas came there alone. He had a few books in his hand. He sat down casually on the same mat where we were both sitting. The Promised Messiahas addressed Hazrat Maulvi Sahibra and said, “I had these few copies of Surma Chashm-e-Arya in my possession. I have brought them so that you can distribute them according to the need.” I said, “Huzooras, I would like to have one.” The Promised Messiahas immediately gave me a copy. This is the same copy that is still preserved in the Sadiq Library.
[An interesting encounter with a British police officer]
One day in the morning, suddenly a British man wearing the uniform of a police superintendent arrived at Qadian and said, “I am the Superintendent of Police of Gurdaspur and have come to meet Mirza Sahib.” At that time, the building where the clinic and the press are located had been built, and where the guest house is situated now, another building was present there. In between those two buildings, there was only a small platform built on the site of the old wall of the city. He was seated on a chair on that platform and another chair was placed there for the Promised Messiahas. On being informed, the Promised Messiahas came out with a staff in his hand, as was his usual practice and sat on that chair. “I want to ask you something,” said the British officer. The Promised Messiahas said, “Please ask.” He took out a small book from his pocket and started flipping through its pages. He would turn over its pages one by one with great care. It was as if he was looking for those questions he wanted to ask which were written in that pocketbook. He looked through the entire pocketbook and then started from the opposite side to the first page. He then closed it and put it back in his pocket without asking any questions. Thereafter, he stood up and said, “I could not find those questions at the moment. Alright then, I will come back another time perhaps.” He said salaam and left, but he never came back again.
