Ordinance-XX of 1984, by the Pakistan government clearly stopped Ahmadi’s from preaching and creating disturbances, it was orchestrated by Mirza Tahir Ahmad, who wanted to move his headquarters to the UK anyways. Ahmadiyya leadership was clearly told that they couldn’t build any new mosques, this did not happen after 1974. Nonetheless, the Pakistan government didn’t ask the Ahmadiyya jamaat for a list of mosques, so, as a result of this, all Ahmadiyya mosques were never approached and adjusted per the law. The adjustment would be to remove the Kalima and the minarets from the mosque. Since this never happened, we hear of disturbances all the time from Pakistan wherein an Ahmadi place of worship seems to have been vandalized. However, these are cases of vandalism, they are cases wherein citizens have witnessed ahmadi places of worship that still have minarets and the Kalima, and the Ahmadi people refuse to remove them.

Hugo Marcus, was a gay-german, and an Ex-Jew who converted to Ahmadiyya, and he was writing in a gay magazine after joining Ahmadiya. Hugo Marcus (1880-1966) was born a German-Jew, but converted to Lahori version of #Ahmadiyya, becoming one of the most prominent Ahmadi’s in Germany prior to the Second World War. What did this German homosexual of the 1880s make of the distinguished Ahmadi gentlemen from faraway Lahore?
He was also a gay man who never called himself so but fought for homosexual rights and wrote queer fiction under the pen name Hans Alienus during his decades in exile. Baer uses Marcus’s life and work to shed new light on German Jewish history and anti-Semitism, Ahmadiyya in Europe, Ahmadiyya-Jewish relations, and the history of the gay rights struggle. He explores how Marcus created a unique synthesis of being German, gay and Ahmadi that positioned Goethe as an intellectual and spiritual model. Marcus’s life offers a new perspective on notions of sexuality and competing conceptions of gay identity in the multilayered world of interwar and postwar Europe.
At the age of 51, Hugo Marcus converted to #ahmadiyya. He was not exactly an impulsive man, for he had been an active member of the Ahmadiyya mosque in Berlin for the best part of eight years. During that time Marcus tutored young Indian students in German language and European culture. He also organized lectures, edited the mosque journal and engaged in intellectual debates with the Ahmadiyya missionaries. 20 of his treatises were published in the mosque journal, Die Moslemische Revue. The Central Library in Zurich, which houses the Hugo Marcus collected papers has another 50 unpublished typescripts on the topic of Islam.
In 2008, the Lahore-Ahmadiyya community published a portrait of ‘The German Muslim Dr Hamid Hugo Marcus’, which gave ample attention to his correspondence with Der Kreis (The Circle), a homosexual journal founded in Zurich in 1947 that published some of the lofty male friendship stories that Marcus wrote after the war. The portrait, however, failed to include an overview of his writings on Islam.11 Meanwhile, the historian Marc Baer dedicated two texts to Marcus in which he tried to make sense of a homosexual man being interested in Islam, while barely considering Marcus the novelist.12

We have written extensively on the topic of Lekh Ram and his engagements with MGA. Feel free to read that before you read any further. We have found a poem vs. MGA which was published in the Ariya Musafir, which was a newspaper of the Arya Samaj. Here is a poem “qadiani Nabi Kee Shaan”, at the time of murder of Pundit Lekh Ram. There was a special edition of Ariya Musafir paper, dedicated to the shahadat of Lekh Ram and this poem comes from that paper.

In 2018, there was a disturbance in Sialkot, Pakistan against an Ahmadiyya temple (Hakim Hassam ud din mosque) and an Ahmadiyya museum. The Ahmadiyya museum of sorts was the old house that MGA allegedly lived from 1860-1868 in Sialkot. Maulvi Abdul Karim was born on the same street. This house was owned by the father Mir Hamid Sialkoti.
This house and temple (Hakim Hassam ud din mosque) are located in Gali Hassamuddin (the street of Hasamuddin) in Sialkot is the place where Mirza Qadiani had stayed in a rented house during his exile after he stole pension money of his father and he remained a low-grade Court clerk working in the office of the Deputy Commissioner. Nevertheless, in roughly 2014-1018, the Qadiani’s allegedly purchased this house with one adjacent to it on the pattern of Allama Iqbal Museum which is close by. The Qadiani temple known as Baitus-Zikr which was closed for many years, is about a mile away. A few days before this disturbance, the Qadiani’s again started the construction work, which sent a wave of anger among Muslim of the area. Thus, they approached the local administration which allowed demolish of the building.
Sialkot Mayor Chaudhary Tauheed Akhtar told DawnNewsTV that members of the Ahmadi community were constructing a building without having an approved design. The administration received complaints about the illegal construction and subsequently sealed the building, he added. According to Akhtar, the illegal construction continued in violation of rules and the corporation therefore “took action last night and demolished the illegal construction”. When asked about the mob attacking the place of worship, Akhtar said that he had informed the assistant commissioner and the DPO. “We were supposed to demolish the illegal construction — now, it is the duty of police to investigate the incident and take legal action.”

Historic building demolished, Ahmadiyya place of worship vandalised in Sialkot – Pakistan – DAWN.COM
Historic building demolished, Ahmadiyya place of worship vandalised in Sialkot
Jamaat-i-Ahmadiyya spokesperson Salim Uddin, in a press release issued on Thursday, condemned the demolition of the community’s place of worship as well as a historically significant building by “miscreants along with governmental administration” in Sialkot.
According to the press release, 30 to 35 employees of a Tehsil municipal committee escorted by police came to the Hakeem Hasam Uddin building around 10:45pm on Wednesday and began demolishing it.
“In the meantime, more than 600 miscreants chanting slogans joined in and started demolishing an Ahmadi worship place near the building,” read the press release, adding that the “vandalism” continued until 4:30 in the morning.
The incident caught attention on social media when pictures and videos showing a “mob” destroying the religious site started circulating early Thursday morning. One video showed a man breaking a minaret with an iron tool.
A separate video showed a man, who is said to be a leader in a major political party, thanking the district police officer, the deputy commissioner, religious parties and teams of the town municipal administration for their support in removing minarets — “which are a symbol of Islam” — from the place of worship.
“The Ahmadi worship place and building vandalised by the mob possessed historical significance for the Ahmadi community and had been standing for more than a century,” the press release stated.
According to the statement, the building had been “renovated a while back, after which the municipal committee sealed it”.
“We are seeking legal action against [the attackers]. Vandalism of buildings by the governmental administration for the mere satisfaction of extremist forces without any judicial order only goes to demonstrate the fact that the civil establishment has given up in front of elements that use religion to seek their personal and organisational interests,” the statement regretted.
The spokesperson demanded security for community’s worship places along with compensation for the damages, which he said ran into tens of thousands of rupees. He also asked that the miscreants be tried under the law.
The local authorities, however, insisted that the building was demolished because it was an “illegal construction”.
Sialkot Mayor Chaudhary Tauheed Akhtar told DawnNewsTV that members of the Ahmadi community were constructing a building without having an approved design. The administration received complaints about the illegal construction and subsequently sealed the building, he added.
According to Akhtar, the illegal construction continued in violation of rules and the corporation therefore “took action last night and demolished the illegal construction”.
When asked about the mob attacking the place of worship, Akhtar said that he had informed the assistant commissioner and the DPO. “We were supposed to demolish the illegal construction — now, it is the duty of police to investigate the incident and take legal action.”
DPO Asad Sarfraz said that the law is equal for all and that an inquiry has been ordered into the incident. Action will be taken after the report is furnished, he said.

Ahmediya mosque razing is another operation clean-up against the community (theprint.in)
Ahmediya mosque razing in Sialkot is yet another operation clean-up against the community
The razing of the Sialkot mosque is the latest assault on the identity of Pakistan’s minority Ahmediya community amid the gradual stripping away of their space in recent times.
On the night of 23 May between the hours of 11 pm and 3 am, crowds in Sialkot, led by a Hamid Mirza and a conniving state machinery, brought down the Hakim Hassam ud din mosque. The mosque, associated with Pakistan’s much-maligned Ahmediya community, is poet-philosopher Allama Iqbal’s first educational institution. In its courtyard, Iqbal pursued his first school lessons.
Sialkot’s mayor called the 100-year-old building an illegal construction. Members of the Ahmediya community had been renovating this religious space, but Pakistan’s problematic laws give the municipal committee enough cause to seal the premises and clear encroachments.
The razing of the mosque is the latest assault on the identity of Pakistan’s minority Ahmediya community amid the gradual stripping away of their space in recent times.
It was on 7 September 1974, after a spate of anti-Ahmedi violence in Pakistan, that the seemingly liberal prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his national assembly passed a bill declaring the Ahmedis as non-Muslim. Bhutto was someone the Ahmedis had supported and voted for. However, it was not until 1984 and Zia and his draconian regime that the Ahmediya community was stripped of all dignity. An Ahmedi could no longer refer to him/herself as a Muslim, and any act like practising his/her faith, issuing the call to prayers, making references to Quranic verses, proselytising, publishing and sharing religious material would be considered a crime.
Erasure of identity
Today, the community and their congregations are confined to small neighbourhood mosque groups. A silent administration refuses to provide adequate security, even after the 2010 Lahore massacre when terrorists attacked two Ahmediya mosques. As a result, in many places now, a silent and besieged Ahmediya community offers its Eid prayers before 6am lest it attracts attention.
All this while the community has consistently insisted that they be treated as one of Islam’s sects. But today, Ahmediya friends mourn the erasure of the two “I”s: No longer considered insaan (human) and eliminated as an entity to interact with.
It started as a sort of McCarthyism in the 1980s with anyone identifying as or sympathising with Ahmedis being purged from the media. Now Ahmedis are refused any forum to offer their side of the story, even as they are subjected to a relentless hate campaign questioning their Pakistani-ness and humanity. Social media has been helpful as a platform, but it is also a double-edged sword, spreading the hate.
In the brief span of time since I laughed, mourned and broke bread with my Ahmedi friends in university in the 1990s, I heard stories of gradual ‘othering’ of a community.
Was there ever a neighbour who offered to open his/her door to an Ahmedi family, which was forced to take down their satellite dish? In the 90s, the dish was needed to watch the Friday sermon delivered by the Ahmedi caliph in UK. But neighbours did not invite the Ahmedis to watch the prayers in peace in their homes. A young Ahmedi university student was asked by her hostel mates to explain her sectarian beliefs and then was promptly reported to university authorities. Nasim Babar, a Physics professor at Quaid-e-Azam University, was gunned down at his house for being an Ahmedi, but his colleagues chose to keep a stoic silence at the memorial meeting. It was left to his dear (and non-Ahmedi) friend Professor Niazi to speak passionately about the indifference of his peers.
After the 2010 Lahore massacre, a Pakistani news anchor with Express News, Mubasher Lucman, relented and offered screen time to an Ahmediya representative in a call-in show. This angered many, and he was duly chastised and made to feature a panel of ‘good Muslim’ maulvis on screen soon after to redress his transgression.
House of narratives
An Ahmedi friend mournfully claims that he cannot even do a head count of how many of our mutual acquaintances have been killed for their beliefs over the years.
Considering that Ahmediya religious spaces cannot be referred to as mosques/masjids lest one is accused of blasphemy, people have begun to use the term Bait ul Zikr (the house of narratives) instead for their mosques. These spaces offer you the tale of hidden geographies that lie within our cities – the missing voices and names of white-collar workers, academics, scientists, dentists, doctors, business people who picked up and left, leaving behind the leaflets slipped under their door and stuffed in their mail boxes threatening them. There are maps drawn in bigotry where suburbs contribute to the growing statistics of Ahmedi murders every month.
There are streets even the town planners ignore. The Ahmedis refuse to register themselves as non-Muslims, even running the risk of invoking blasphemy. But where will they bring identification documents to claim they are Muslims? The state has not given them any papers. So, they continue to live in limbo-land electorally. Politicians don’t see any incentive in including them in civic services because they are not a vote bank.
What is left for them are these Operation clean-ups that come in the middle of the night.

Intro
We wanted to share another article from the Pakistan Times which was published during the Samdani Commission and other investigations in Rabwah.
Some facts
1. Mr. Abdul Sami seems to be in the dark in terms of the Ahmadi mission in Israel. Most Ahmadi’s play dumb and stupid however. The truth is, Israel would never give Ahmadi’s a visa from Pakistan. Because of this, Ahmadiyya leadership always sent an Ahmadi mullah from India to their mission in Israel, and that Ahmadi-mullah would be in-charge of that mission. Further, an Arab was local jamaat president, however, he has less power then the Ahmadi-mullah.
Ahmadi Mission in Israel
“”An Ahmadi mission in functioning in Israel, stated Mr. Abdul Sami, station master of Rabwah Railway Station, during his cross examination on Monday before the Tribunal comprising Mr. Justice K.M.A. Samdani of the Lahore High Court inquiring into the Rabwah incident.
He, however, submitted he did not know if the instructions to the Ahmadia mission in Israel were issued from Rabwah.
Later, when a counsel for the Ahmadia community asked him questions about the mission in Israel, the witness clarified that mission was headed by a local Arab and that it had been functioning there since the time when Israel had not emerged as a state.
Earlier replying to a question, he said 10-12 missions were sent abroad every year by the Ahmadia community.
In reply to cross-examination, Mirza Sami stated that it was true that free copies of the “Daily Alfazal”, an official organ of the Ahmadia community used to be distributed among non-Ahmadi passengers in trains during their stoppage at the Rabwah railway station. The distribution of the newspaper in vogue from October , 1973, had been discontinued for the past 3 or 4 months because some of the Non-Ahmadis had resented it.
Replying to questions by C.M. Latif Rawnm, the witness conceded that the general body of Muslims did not hold a good opinion about the Ahmadis because of their faith. Asked about the people’s reaction to distribution of literature on Ahmadiat, among the non-Ahmadis, the witness said: “Some people accept the gift without resentment, but some resent it”.

MGA insulted many holy people in Islam, Christianity and Judaism, he even stole “hindu -styled-arguments” and passed them off as his own. We thought we had covered it thoroughly, however, every day, we find new data. Recently, we found a reference from MGA’s book “Ayyamus-Sulah”, in english as “The Age of Peace”, it was published in 1898, in Urdu (see Hidden treasures, page 239). This book dealt mostly with the issues of the plague, which was running rampant in India in those days, however, MGA also insulted Maryam, the mother of Esa (as). Check out brother Imtiaz and Adnan discussing this topic herein.
In their official 5-volume commentary, in terms of the birth of Eisa (as)(19:25 of the Quran, 19:26 in the Qadiani-Quran), the Qadiani’s quoted Luke 2:1-4 as they accused Maryam (as) of travelling around (pirhna) with Joseph the Carpenter. Ironically, an African-Qadiani-Ahmadi named Yussuff came on a live stream with Adnan and refused to accept that the meanings of “pirhna”, he kept saying that it only meant moving around, however, Yussuff didn’t know that it was connected to Luke 2:1-4.
Maulvi Sanaullah Amritsari also quoted MGA on this in his Ahl-e-Hadees newspaper dated Ahl-e-Hadees of August 5th, 1904 (scans are posted in the below). Listen to our brother Obaidullah explain this entire scenario on the Shams channel herein (see at the 1:50:20 mark).
