The data
He was born in Whittier, California, and lived in Southern California until the age of ten when he moved to Blaine, Washington. After graduating from Blaine High School, he went on to attend the University of Washington and in 2004 completed a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry and a Bachelors of Arts in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. During his study at the university he was active on campus, serving as the president of the UW Muslim Students Association, which was and is one of the largest and most active student groups on campus, as serving for two years as a student senator, and the Senate- appointed member of special funding committee, which disbursed tens of thousands of dollars to student groups on campus to help fund student-run events. After 9/11 he was also listed by the University of Washington as an expert on Islam and was invited to address various groups from all walks of life from universities to high schools to community groups as well as all forms of media (TV, Radio, Newspaper, Internet). After graduation.
Shaykh Hamzah went on to pursue traditional Islamic studies, which took him to a number of countries, including Syria and Egypt where he studied the Arabic language, Morocco, Mauritania, and UAE, where he studied the madhab of Imam Malik, grammar, usul al-hadith, and the two renditions of the qira’ah of Imam Nafi’, Warsh and Qalun, and finally Pakistan where he had the opportunity to study tafsir, usul al-hadith, hadith, ‘ilm al-rijal and Hanafi fiqh. All of these studies culminated in him receiving an ijazat al-tadris, literally meaning “a license to teach” which is the equivalent in Pakistani Islamic seminaries to a MA in Arabic and Islamic studies, as well as an unbroken chain of transmission by which to narrate the hadith of such books as the Muwatta of Imam Malik, the Sihah al-Sittah (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah), and the Sharh Ma’ani al-Athar of Imam al-Tahawi.
After his return to the United States, Shaykh Hamzah spent five years as the resident scholar of the Thawr Institute, a non-profit religious and educational organization based in Seattle, Washington, teaching, giving khutbahs in local masaajid, and travelling through America promoting the knowledge and practice of the sunnah. In parallel with his work at Thawr, he was worked closely with Islamic Relief, CAIR Seattle, and a number of other non-profit organizations that serve the Muslim Community. He is currently the Imam at Islamic Relief, and teaches all the classes & programs held by Ribat.

As we continue to dig into the life of MGA before Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya we see a pattern that has developed, i.e., that MGA was a good-for-nothing-lazy-punjabee-fraudster. In this specific instance, we have found information which proves that MGA never had property valued at 10,000 rupees in 1879. In fact, in those days, MGA’s brother was ruling the family dynasty, and MGA’s eldest son (Mirza Sultan Ahmad) had already been chosen to take over the family management of Qadian as soon as MGA’s brother died. So…when MGA claimed that he would give a reward worth 10,000 rupees if anyone could refute his book, it was all hogwash. It was all a lie. In fact, Dard did cover up job and added the idea that MGA had property worth 10,000 in 1879 (see Life of Ahmad by Dard, page 91). Most of this correspondance was recorded by MGA in his book Shahn-e-Haq (1887).

Intro
“SHAHNA-E-HAQQ” is an interesting book by MGA, it can also be spelled as “Shahna-e-Haqq” another variation is Shahna’-e-Haq. In english its “Scourge of the Truth” as translated by official Ahmadiyya sources (see page 35, “Hidden Treasures”).
MGA’s beef with Hinduism is highlighted herein. MGA hated Hindus and this book proves it. MGA also wrote this book as a response to “Surmah Chashm-e-Aryah ki Haqiqat aur fan fraib Ghulam Ahmad ki Kaifiyyat”, which in english should be, “The truth about Collrium for the eyes of the Aryas, and the truth about Ghulam Ahmad” (very roughly). Its also important to note that this book came right after MGA’s “Surma Chashm Arya” (1886)(Collrium for the eyes of the Aryas). In this book, MGA re-produced an article that he had written in Arabic in 1879.
In this book, MGA published his correspondence with Alexander Russell Webb (See Shahne-e-Haqq pages 372 and 439), Henry Olcott and Charles Bradlaugh. This book also is the aftermath of the beef between MGA and Lekh Ram. Lala Sharampat is mentioned in this book too in terms of the failed prophecy of Duleep Singh. Lala Malawamal is also mentioned.
In 1939, a summary of this book appeared in the ROR of Dec by Dard, this was later made into book form, “Life of Ahmad” by Dard.
First edition of Shohna A Huq.
In 2026, our sister site, khatam.info created an AI translation of Shahna-e-Haq, it can be downloaded herein, it covers pages 325-445.

Intro
By 2020, we have figured out exactly how MGA and his team of writers/reciters fabricated this entire story. As we all know, MGA and his team of writers/editors lied about almost everything they did. We have found a huge case of academic dishonesty in terms of MGA’s quotations to a Persian book, “Ayn-ul-Hayat”. MGA and his team first quoted this book in 1898, in a book called ‘Raz-e-Haqiqat”, which was translated and published into english in 2016, see page 24.
However, they were academically dishonest, they purposely didn’t mention that Yuz Asaf had a father and many other things, an Ex-Ahmadi, Shams ud Din, recently got a hold of Ayn ul Hayat and posted his results in a video, make sure you watch Part-2 also, these are in Urdu and watch part 3. We have also found “Ayn ul Hayat” and have posted the PDF’s in the below. This book proves that MGA totally lied. Shams ud Din found the book “Rahul ul Hayat” by Allama Muhammad Bakir, there is an urdu translation called, “Ainul Hayat”. On page 361, it is written that Yuz Asaf had a father in Kashmir. This immediately cancelled Yuz Asaf becoming Esa (As), since Esa (as) historically never had a father. Yuz Asaf was the son of a King and was able to live a life of excess. MGA never mentioned any of this. Yuz Asaf’s dad was a drunkard, and even prayed to idols. It is also important to read about Maulvi Shaikh Abdullah Wakeel’s story about Yuz Asaf.

Nicholas Notovitch lied about Jesus living in India during the early phase of his life via his book, “Life of Saint Issa” (1894). He was immediately refuted by James Archibald Douglas, who was the first professor of English and History at Government College, Agra. He is mainly remembered for having investigated, and debunked, the claims of Nicolas Notovitch regarding a secret record of Jesus’ visit to India being found at the Hemis Monastery. Douglas made his own visit to the monastery in 1895, and published his findings in the journal Nineteenth Century. These findings were then publicized in the New York Times on 19 April.

In October 1894, preeminent Orientalist Max Muller of Oxford University (who himself was an advocate of Eastern philosophy and therefore could not be accused of having a Christian bias) published a refutation of Notovitch in The Nineteenth Century, a scholarly review. Soon after Notovitch’s book was published, Müller wrote an article titled “The Alleged Sojourn of Christ in India,” which expressed in a gently ribbing manner his reservations about Notovitch’s discovery, stating that it was “unfortunate” the Russian had “lost the photographs” of his expedition. Müller also suggested Notovitch “may have traveled in disguise” as no one seemed to remember him visiting the monastery. He also found it odd that the Sutra of Issa “should not have found a place either in the Kandjur or in the Tandjur [the Tibetan Buddhist canon].”

Since the delegation stayed in our late Uncle Sultan Ali’s bungalow near G.H. Muslim High School, Baddomalhi, I among other boys, had the special good fortune of serving on the late Maulana and others.
