Intro
In 1889 (Jan-12), MGA and his team of writers published an announcement with the 10 conditions of Bait. Dard tells us that this was the same day that MGA’s son, Mirza Basheer-uddin Mahmud Ahmad (the Musleh Maud) was born (see Dard, pages 201-208). However, the announcement is totally missing. This specific bait form had as the 4th condition, loyalty to the British.
In 1889 (Jan-31), addressing MGA, the Nur Afshan wrote, “Your claim to be a prophet has no proof.” (Nur-i-Afshan, 31 January 1889, p. 1). This article also mentioned the birth of Mirza Basheer-uddin Mahmud Ahmad (the future Musleh Maud) and alleged that MGA named him Bashir and Mahmud as a tafavul. This article also made jokes about MGA and his failed prophecies (See the scans in the below).
In 1889 (Mar-4)(See page 7), Ahmadiyya sources allege that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was in Ludhiana and if any of his followers wanted to do bait, MGA would reach Ludhiana by the March-20th (See Dard, page 203). MGA said that after the 25th, such people should come to Qadian for bait. This was all at the house of Sufi Ahmad Jan of Ludhiana? AKA Munshi Ahmad Jan. The ROR of July-1943 alleges that the house wherein MGA took bait is now a small Qadiani temple.
In 1889 (Mar-14), the Nur Afshan mentioned MGA visit to Ludhiana and his announcement to take bai‘at from those who wished to join his Jamaat. In one of its articles, the newspaper questioned the Muslims as to what was the need to pledge allegiance to MGA? (See the Nur-i-Afshan of 14 March 1889, p. 6).
In 1889 (Mar-21, Apr-4, Apr-18), the Nur-i-Afshan published more comments in the coming issues and used foul language against MGA (See the Nur Afshan of 21 March 1889, 4 April 1889 and 18 April 1889)(See the scans in the below).
In 1889 (Mar-16-18), MGA seems to have visited Hoshiarpur for a few days; for he had been invited by Sh. Mehr Ali on the occasion of his son’s marriage. He was accompanied by M. Abdullah Sanauri, Sh. Hamid Ali and Mir ‘Abbas Ali (See Dard, page 204).
In 1889 (Mar-20-22), Shaikh Yacub Ali Irfani was there in Ludhiana, however, he didn’t do bait. Some Ahmadiyya sources allege that the bait was conducted on the 21st or the 22nd (see the Muslim Herald Magazine 1971).
In 1889 (Mar-23), MGA began accepting bait at the house of Sufi Ahmad Jan of Ludhiana? AKA Munshi Ahmad Jan. This specific bait form had as the 4th condition, loyalty to the British, this was changed later in 1906 (See the ROR of May-1906). MGA sat in the north-eastern corner of the room. Sh. Hamid Ali was posted at the door, and the disciples were called by him as MGA desired. Maulawi Nur-ud-Din was called in first of all. Then were called Mir ‘Abbas Ali, Miyan Muhammad Husain Moradabadi, and M. Abdullah Sanauri. One or two more were thus called in as named by MGA, after which Sh. Hamid Ali was told to admit them one by one. At the beginning Bai‘at was taken of each one in private, but afterwards people entered the Bai‘at even in groups (See Dard, page 206). It seems that Maulvi Abdul Karim Sialkoti was also there, however, he wasn’t initiated (see the Muslim Herald Magazine 1971). 3 Ahmadi’s from Kapurthula were also initiated, Munshi Zafar Ahmad, Mian Muhammad Khan and Munshi Aroora Khan.
In 1939, the ROR of Dec-1939 also mentions the first bait.
In 1940, the ROR of April-1940 also mentions the first Bait (See also Tareekh e Ahmadiyyat, 374 – 383).
In 1943, the ROR of July-1943 alleges that 40 people took bait on March 23rd, 1889, it also alleges that MGA had announced that he would be accepting bait in 1882, however, it didn’t start until 1889. MGA announced that he would be accepting bait on the day that Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad was born, Jan-12-1889. The ROR of July-1943 alleges that the house wherein MGA took bait is now a small mosque. Sufi Ahmad Jan of Ludhiana AKA Munshi Ahmad Jan is mentioned in the ROR of July-1943. His house where the bait’s were done was given as a gift to the Sadr Anjuman at Qadian (see ROR of July-1943). Sometime later, the Sadr Anjuman at Qadian gave this property to the local Ahmadi’s and asked them to renovate it. In 1917, improvements were made. There was some additional controversy, Meer Inayat Ali claimed that the spot where MGA began to take bait was not accurate and it was in fact, on the opposite side of the structure in 1931. Other companions alleged that Meer Inayat Ali’s memory had slipped. The 2nd Khalifa stopped in at Ludhiana in 1931 and wanted to solve this situation, he had even called Munshi Zafar Ahmad from Kapurthala (he was at the first ever bait) to explain. The ROR of July-1943 mentions Mirza Sharif Ahmad in connection with the old house of Sufi Ahmad Jan. The ROR alleges that Mirza Sharif Ahmad designed the mosque that was built on that property. In the ROR, Ahmadiyya sources allege that the 2nd Khalifa asked to raise funds to help rebuild this property and others as well as family quarters. The ROR of July-1943 has an essay by M. Barkat Ali Laiq, entitled, “The Darul Bai’at”, which discusses the location of the first ever Bait ceremony in Ludhiana at the house of Sufi Ahmad Jan of Ludhiana? AKA Munshi Ahmad Jan.
