Intro
Mirza Sharif Ahmad was the youngest surviving son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. His younger brother, Mirza Mubarak Ahmad died in 1907. He didn’t pass high school matriculation and he didn’t go to college either. He was married off in 1906, at a young age (he was barely 11) to Bu Zainab bibi. They announced the nikah in 1906, however, the girl didn’t enter the house of Mirza Bashir Ahmad until 1909. She was a daughter a Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan, from his first marriage.
In 1924, he accompanied his elder brother the Khalifa as they travelled to London (Sharif Odeh says that he was a photographer, in late July 1924)(they stopped in Haifa, Damascus and Jerusalem). He seems to have been physically attacked by someone named Haneefa in the summer of 1935 (see ROR Nov-1935), he was also mentioned in the famous appeal case vs. Khosla’s Judgement. He was mentioned as Captain Mirza Sharif Ahmad (See ROR of Dec-1935). He appears again in the famous Ahmady Company, which was created in 1941, his son (Mirza Daud Ahmad) was made a Colonel. He never wrote any books in support of Ahmadiyya nor he did ever deliver any speeches. Furthermore, he doesn’t appear to have graduated from highschool and attended college either. He doesn’t seem to have ever worked a job in his life. He was born in 1895 (see Dard) and died on December 26, 1961. He was the first of the 3 brothers to die after a lifetime together. MGA claimed many revelations about Mirza Sharif Ahmad which seem to indicate that he would be a king or a Khalifa. The editors of Ahmadiyya have made a point to make this connection ever since Mirza Masroor Ahmad was elected, since Mirza Masroor Ahmad’s grandfather is Mirza Sharif Ahmad. He died miserably, He was suffering from extreme pain from his joints, he was in extreme pain, for 3 1/2 years he had many attacks of thrombosis, he was admitted in many hospitals, he would get batter for a bit than again feel ill, 2 months before his death he was extremely ill, he had swelling on his ankles and knees, his heart was weak, would feel giddy, many times he fell while he walking and then had bruises, all his body was full of wounds (bruises). Ahmadiyya sources tells us that he was the only son of MGA who was totally like MGA, hence the illnesses.

TIMELINE OF HIS LIFE
————————————————————————————————————
1895
MGA claims that the birth of Mirza Sharif Ahmad was a divine sign and promise
“””As an answer to the nonsense of ‘Abdul-Haqq, God Almighty had vouchsafed to me a revelation, which was published in Anwarul-Islam, that He would bless me with a son. So all praise and gratitude be to Allah, that according to the prophecy a son was born to me on Dhi
Qa‘adah 27, 1312 AH, May 24, 1895 CE who was named Sharif Ahmad.””” [Last Title Page of Diya’ul-Haqq, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 9, p. 323].
____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1901
At the age of 6, he seems to have completed the Quran
[Amin of Bashir Ahmad, Sharif Ahmad and Mubarakah Begum,
November 27, 1901, al-Hakam, vol. 5, no. 45, December 10, 1901, pp. 3–4]
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ In 1903, Mirza Sharif Ahmad seems to have gotten plague, but survived
This story is a lie, since MGA talked about it 3-4 years after it happened
“””At a time when Qadian was afflicted with the plague my son Sharif Ahmad fell ill and appeared to be suffering from very high fever like typhoid. He lost consciousness and beat about his arms in that condition. I thought to myself that no one was immortal but if the boy died while plague was raging in Qadian, my enemies would call this fever the plague and would treat the holy revelation that had been vouchsafed to me as false:
Meaning that [Arabic] I shall safeguard from the plague all who dwell in this house.
This caused me indescribable distress. About midnight his condition deteriorated and I feared that it was not ordinary sickness but some other problem. I cannot describe the pain that I experienced from the thought that if, God forbid, the boy dies, the hard-hearted enemies would have much material to cover up the truth. In this condition I made my ablutions and stood up in Prayer and immediately I perceived that I had been put in a state of mind which is a manifest sign for the acceptance of prayer. I call God to witness, in whose hand is my life, that I had just completed about three rak‘at when I saw in a vision that the boy had recovered completely. Then the state of vision was over and I saw the boy sitting in full consciousness upon the char-pa’i [cot] and asked for water. I had completed the four rak‘at. I gave him water immediately and I put my hand on his body and found that there was no sign of temperature and his restlessness and unconsciousness had completely disappeared. He was completely healthy. I was thus bestowed fresh faith in the acceptance of prayer through witnessing this spectacle of Divine Power. [Haqiqatul-Wahi, pp. 84–85 footnote, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 22, pp. 87–88, footnote].
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1906
Via the ROR of Oct-1942, Mirza Aziz Ahmad states that he signed the bait form in his Grade-9 year. Mirza Aziz Ahmad says that Shaikh Yacub Ali Irfani took him to the Masjid Aqsa for Maghrib, where he alleges that he regularly prayed, he also claims that Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad was also close by. Per the testimony of Mirza Aziz Ahmad, Maulvi Abdul Karim presented him to MGA for bait (see ROR of Oct-1942). The very next day, MGA held a dinner for Mirza Aziz Ahmad and even invited the young boys from his family like Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad, Mirza Bashir Ahmad, Mirza Sharif Ahmad and Mir Muhammad Ishaq. At this dinner, MGA seems to have brought Mirza Aziz Ahmad back into his family, like officially, since he told Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad that this was his nephew. MGA’s wife, Nusrat Jehan served them dinner on “takht-poshes”. Mirza Aziz Ahmad also states that he was present when the marriage of Mirza Bashir Ahmad was completed (roughly 1906), he was part of the marriage party which brought the wife of Mirza Bashir Ahmad to Qadian, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud, Mir Nasir Nawab and Mir Muhammad Ishaq were also in the party. Mirza Aziz Ahmad was also present for the Waleema. He had just gained entrance into the University of the Punjab too.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
15 November 1906, he marries the daughter of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan
His wife is named Bu Zainab bibi. They announced the nikah in 1906, however, the girl didn’t enter the house of Mirza Bashir Ahmad until 1909, the same time his sister, Mubarika Begum left Qadian for Malerkotla. In this video, Ahmadis are telling us details of this marriage (at the 12:56 mark). Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan married into MGA’s family almost exclusively. Mirza Sharif Ahmad seems to have married a daughter of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan from his first marriage. His second marriage was to Mirza Sharif Ahmad’s sister, Mubarika Begum in 1908.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
In 1907, after his brothers tragic death, Mirza Sharif Ahmad also falls sick and on his deathbed
See the 2009, online edition of Tadhkirah, pages 952-955, these revelations are claimed by Ahmadiyya sources as for Mirza Sharif Ahmad, however, in 1907, they weren’t. It was the later editors who made this connection.
(1) [Arabic] Allah has granted him life contrary to expectation.
(2) [Arabic] Allah has appointed him as a leader contrary to expectation
(3) [Arabic] Do you not recognise the All-Powerful. (This revelation refers to his mother.)
(4) [Arabic] Your purpose will be achieved.
(5) [Arabic] Allah is the Best Guardian and He is the Most Merciful of all who show mercy.
[Badr, vol. 6, no. 22, May 30, 1907, p. 4 and
al-Hakam, vol. 11, no. 19, May 31 1907, p. 3]
______________________________________________________________________________________________
See the 2009, online edition of Tadhkirah, page 911
January 3, 1907
The Promised Messiah[as] narrated the revelations and a dream received in the last few days:
(1)Translation: [Arabic] Soon I shall honour you in a wonderful manner and Allah has power over everything.
(2) Dream: In my dream I saw Sharif Ahmad, who was wearing a turban and there were two men standing near him. One of them pointing to Sharif Ahmad said:
[Urdu] Here comes the King.
The other one said:
[Urdu] He has yet to be Qadi.
The Promised Messiah[as] said: One meaning of Qadi is an arbitrator. Qadi is he who supports the truth and refutes falsehood.
[Badr, vol. 6, no. 1, 2, January 10, 1907, p. 3 and al-Hakam, vol. 11, no. 1, January 10, 1, 907, p. 1]

1932
In 1932, 500 rupees was a lot of money, the Mirza family was so rich, it was nothing. Via “Wings of Duty A Memoir” by Syed Muhammad Ahmad (nephew of MGA), a story is told how lavish and rich the 2nd Khalifa was in 1932 as he paid Ram Nath Chawla 500 rupees to bring his aeroplane to Qadian and take the 2nd Khalifa and his family for tours over Qadian and the River Beas. Ram Nath Chawla used the 500 rupees to fund his historic journey in 1934, as he flew from Karachi, India to England, solo, in a de Havilland Puss Moth (See “Wings of Duty A Memoir” by Syed Muhammad Ahmad, 2023).
Nevertheless, on Dec-30th, 1932, Ram Nath Chawla arrived in Qadian and took Mirza Sharif Ahmad, Mirza Bashir Ahmad, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud, Nasira Begum and her sister Amtul Qayoom (both were daughters of the 2nd Khalifa). Children also went up, Syed Muhammad Ahmad went up and even had the chance to watch other Ahmadi’s fly the plane, Mirza Daud Ahmad and another of the 2nd Khalifa’s daughter’s Amtul Hakeem (7 years old)(See “Wings of Duty A Memoir” by Syed Muhammad Ahmad, 2023).
15 years later (1947 and during partition), the 2nd Khalifa, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad paid 5000 rupees for a L-5 airplane, Deputy Muhammad Latif helped make the deal and even brought the plane to Qadian (See “Wings of Duty A Memoir” by Syed Muhammad Ahmad, 2023).
