Intro
Ahmadi’s are fanatical when it comes to tabligh/dawah (invitation to Islam), they were radicalized as such by the Mirza family. Islam doesn’t require that the average Muslim engage in lengthy and complicated debates on religion. However, in Ahmadiyya, its mandatory. In May of 1974, it was Ahmadiyya tabligh which caused the famous “Rabwah-train-attack” and which eventually got many Ahmadi’s killed, but the Mirza family doesn’t care. Nevertheless, Ahmadi’s claim that they needed to come to the USA to escape attacks on them and their places of worship, however, as we can see, everywhere Ahmadi’s go, there is turmoil, and its all related to aggressive marketing techniques aka tabligh by Ahmadis. In this story, the american press differs with the Khalifa, the newspapers report that this was a fight within the Ahmadiyya community, and between Ahmadi’s. It was a fight for power. This is from the Canton Observer, not an biased newspaper. The newspaper reports that Ahmadi’s were there in the home during the murder of Dr. Ahmad, however, it was kids playing in the street who were able to take down the license plate number of the car (see The Canton Observer). The police traced that license plate, it was registered to an Ahmadi mission house on Wyoming st, as the police arrived (just a few hours after the murder) it was engulfed in flames and 2 men were found dead inside. Later on, the Khalifa contradicted this entire story by claiming that this was over tabligh. However, it seems like some new Ahmadi’s caused this entire scenario. This incident marked a clear distancing of the Ahmadiyya community from the African-American community in Detroit. I do believe it was very political. Many, many people were very frightened by this event, and eventually the Ahmadiyya community built another mosque outside of the city of Detroit. The mosque referred to in this article is no longer standing as of this year.
Dr. Muzaffar Ahmad was an anesthesiologist at Wayne County General Hospital? He seems to be the average Ahmadi from Pakistan who thinks he owes his whole life to the Mirza family. He thinks that since he has been successful in life, with a good job, this was only possible through prayers and allegiance to the Mirza family. He was thus on a mission to re-pay his debts. Dr. Muzaffar Ahmad was murdered on Aug 8th, 1983 by an African-American person who was invited to his home in Canton, MI (which is a suburb of Detroit) just 3 days before the annual Jalsa in 1983 (see page 62). Just 3 hours after the murder, the Ahmadi mission house was then set on fire. Mirza Tahir Ahmad tells us (in his friday sermon of Aug 12th, 1983, from Rabwah) that “black-muslims” was responsible for this murder and arson. Both of the “african-americans” died in the mosque, some how, they weren’t able to escape. Ahmadiyya sources called this murder as the first-ever Ahmadi to have been martyred on American soil (see page 42). Ahmadiyya sources claim that a Pakistani-Imam came to Detroit and incited these Muslims to murder. Ahmadiyya sources tell us that the murderers were Calvin Jones and William Kane. However, newspaper reports called this as in-fighting of a cult.
In 1983, in Detroit, Michigan, an Ahmadi was murdered, then the Ahmadi mission house was set on fire
Intro
As 1989 approached, Mirza Tahir Ahmad began telling all Ahmadi authors to tell the world that there were more then 10 million Ahmadi’s or 1 crore. We have found a souvenir edition from 1989, which is still on the official Ahmadiyya website. The editor of this souvenir actually is Aftab A. Bismil, he put this project together and had it published.
Another Souvenir also says 10 million
See page 10.
The Review of Religions, June 1989, claims 10 million Ahmadi’s (see page 4)
Every single Ahmadiyya publication by 1989 was claiming 10 million Ahmadi’s.
Mirza Tahir Ahmad is interviewed by the Sunday Times and says that in 1979, there were 10 million Ahmadis
In the same very edition of the ROR, Mirza Tahir Ahmad tells the Sunday Times that the 3rd Khalifa estimated 10 million Ahmadi’s in 1979. He also gave 5 million as the number of Pakistani Ahmadi’s and he estimated 8-10,000 Ahmadi’s in the UK, of which 99% were Pakistani-Ahmadi’s (see page 13).

Intro
Lots of this research was taken verbatim from Maria-Magdalena Pruss and her entries on the famous Lahori-Ahmadi blog. She has a PHD in religion from Princeton.
The father of Khalifa Rasheed ud Din (Khalifa Hameed-ud-Din) famously was a founder of the Anjuman-i-Himayat-i-Islam (founded in 1884, Noorudin was also a member, as well as Allama Iqbal)(in a mosque known as Masjid Bakan inside Mochi Gate, Lahore, by Khalifa Hameed-ud-Din) and Sir Sheikh Abdul Qadir. In 1890, the Anjuman-i-Himayat-i-Islam also published “Ibtal uluhiyyat-i Masih” by Nur ud-Din, with the permission of the author and for the “benefit of the people of Islam”, as it says on the title page. It also publicly endorsed other Ahmadi writings in its monthly Risalah.
In the 1890s, as you know, Khwaja Kamal ad-Din and Muhammad Ali taught at Islamia College. Islamia College was established by this very Anjuman. There must have been a lot of interaction between the Ahmadiyya Anjuman in Lahore and the Himayat-i Islam, because since 1914, Islamia College and the Ahmadiyya Buildings were on the same street (Brandereth Road). Also, how does one explain the role of Muhammad Iqbal? He still had a positive attitude towards members of the Lahore group, such as Khwaja Kamal ad-Din in 1911 and even after that. Why did he change his position later on and attack the community? The Anjuman-i-Himayat-i-Islam was mentioned in the ROR of June-July-1940.
In 1894 (May-25), in the “Voice of Islam” newspaper, it is reported that Nafeesa M.T. Keep was elected as secretary of the “American Muslim Brotherhood”. The election was held in the reading room of “The Moslem World Co.”, No. 30 East 23d St. NY. Nafeesa M.T. Keep is also on the “Board of Publications”. The Vice President is C. Omar MacCoun, the Librarian is Ahmed Hamouda, the assistant librarian is R. Othman White, the Treasurer is H. Ali Lewis. H. Ali Lewis is also on the “Board of Publications”, as well as C. Omar MacCoun and R. Othman White. On the Advisory Board are 3 people, E. A. Arnold, H. Fatima Peabody and Khaled D. Hutchins (See Aug-1894 edition of the “Voice of Islam”). James S. Laidlaw has an essay and short poem in this edition of the “Voice of Islam” (Aug-1894 edition). H.A. Lewis is also the “Business Manager” of the “Voice of Islam” and “American Moslem Brotherhood”. Interestingly, a mission in Lahore is discussed called the Anjuman-i-Islam wherein young boys are being taught, this is called the Islamic College. The Nawab of Bahawalpur has given money for orphan boys and via the “Anjuman-i-Himayat-e-Islam“. Many books are listed for sale, a book by Haji Abdullah Browne entitled, “The Evidences of Islam” (from London). Barkatullah also has a book for sale, entitled, “Eleven Months’ Mussulman Work at Hyderabad (Deccan), India, as well as a book by G.W. Leitner (of the Woking Mosque), entitled, “Mohammedanism”. Webb‘s book, “Islam in America” is the most expensive book, $50 for 75 pages. “Education and Literature of the Women of Turkey” by Senorita Esmeralda Cervantes, for $15. A book by Goolam Muhammed bin Hajee Hafiz Sadek Randeri, entitled, “The Touchstone of Philosophers”. There is also a book by Shaikh Faizullah-bhai (Fellow of the University of Bombay and headmaster of the “Anjuman-i-Islam” schools), entitled, “A Moslem Present”, for $35, this book is an anthology of Arabic poems about the Prophet and the faith of Islam. There is also a book entitled, “Al Bahsul-Jaleel” or “The Delhi Controversy” between Maulvi Sharful Haq Kadri Jalali, translated by S. Abdul Haq sahib and for $15. There is also a book for sale entitled, “The Hero as Prophet” by Thos Carlyle for $15.

Professor Clement Lindley Wragge was a renowned astronomer of his time. He lived in England, but in 1908 was visiting India as part of his world tour during which he gave lectures on astronomy to very large audiences. In May 1908, he stayed in Lahore for a short period. There he gave a lecture which was well attended, especially by many highly placed English people. Mufti Mohammad Sadiq was also present and he met the professor after the lecture. He briefly explained to Professor Raig the proofs and arguments put forward by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in support of his claim to be the Promised Messiah of his time. Upon hearing these the Professor wished to meet Mirza Ghulam Ahmad straight away. Mufti Sahib sought first to arrange a time with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who gave his permission; the meeting took place after Zuhr prayers on 12th May 1908 (a second meeting took place on May-18-1908, see the Moslem Sunrise of 2nd/3rd Quarter 1947 and Al-Hakam, May-30-1908). Mufti Mohammad Sadiq acted as the interpreter and the conversation was originally recorded in Urdu. The dialogues between the two are recorded in the Malfuzat-10 (online English edition), the discourses of Ghulam Ahmad. Some of his followers believe that Wragge had converted to Islam and stayed a Muslim until his death. Proof of his conversion is cited by Ahmadiyya Muslim scholars in the form of letters written to Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, a companion of Ghulam Ahmad, by Prof. Wragge after his meeting with Ghulam Ahmad at Lahore. However, more personal family records suggest that Wragge remained a theosophist up until his death in 1922.
He is mentioned in the ROR of July-1914 as having introduced Mr. A. Fraser Hill (see the history of Ahmadiyya in Australia) to the Ahmadi’s of Qadian. He is mentioned in the ROR Of April-1915, a direct quote of his, in this in terms of Ahmadiyya in Australia. The ROR of May-1938 quotes the Al-Hakam of May 30th, 1908.

In 2025, the Qadiani-Ahmadi published an English mis-translation of “The Message or a Cry of Anguish” (“Al-Balagh”). They also allege that it was also published in 1922 (In Urdu?). According to Maulana Jalal-ud-Din Shams, “The Message or a Cry of Anguish” in English and in Urdu as “Al-Balagh Ya Faryad-e-Dard”, it was written in May 1898 in two parts, first part in Urdu and the other part in Arabic (See Hidden Treasures). It seems that there was an English edition published in 1898, from the Victoria Press by M. Muhammad Jan.
About 11 years ago, my team of writers and researchers found a cache of lost english books by Ahmadiyya INC. These are books published in English by MGA, with MGA as the author. They are not content translations of any known booklets in Urdu as they are abridged/revised/edited versions for an English audience. And all under the author’s name and during his lifetime. The question is : why were they lost? Especially when Ahmadiyya has not been able to do translations for 110+ years, why do these authentic versions penned and published by the ‘Messiah’ himself not valuable for your ‘spreading the message’ to English-speaking people and your newer generations? Muhammad Ali was working at the Islamia College in Lahore, the copies of this draft were sent to him for translation, he did an excellent job, a few years later, MGA lured him away from the Anjuman Himayat-i-Islam and their Islami College in Lahore, Muhammad Ali became the highest paid employee of MGA and he moved to Qadian (see Mujadid-e-Azim). Dard tells us that they are indeed translations (in 1947 he told us, see Dard page 581).
Per Dard, The Sirajul Akhbar, dated 13/6/1898; the Singh Saba, Amritsar, dated 30/5/1898, and the Sat Dharam Parcharak, Jullundur, dated 15th Jeth, supported the course adopted by MGA. The Punjab Observer, Lahore, dated 6/5/1898, and the Paisa Akhbar, dated 14/5/1898, differed from MGA. MGA only disagreed with the Anjuman Himayat Islam (of which many ahmadi’s were also members) in terms of who should be responding to these types of attacks, of which he nominated himself, in a very arrogant manner. MGA never said that he opposed blasphemy laws, in fact, just 2-3 years prior he endorsed them. MGA believed in blasphemy laws until he died, he never changed at all. It was later Ahmadiyya Khalifa’s which began to oppose these blasphemy laws and they have thus avoided all of MGA’s comments on the matter.
On page 29, of the 2025, online English edition, a Christian priest at the time of MGA published a book insulting Muhammadﷺand his wives (RA). Muslims wanted to file a complaint against him to the British Government but MGA said it’s utterly inappropriate to do that, that Muslims should remain grateful to the Christian priests.

The Message or a Cry of Pain
Intro
In June of 1948, the Ahmadiyya Movement was given the opportunity to have a separate army regiment. It was called the Furqan Force and was formed in June of 1948. At the same time, the Ahmadiyya Khalifa was negotiating a steal of a deal for the rights to a piece of land now called Rabwah. In those days the Ahmadiyya Movement had lots of political power and was using it to spread its tentacles in the newly formed Pakistan. The unit fought for Pakistan against India in the First Kashmir War of 1948. The Battalion was placed at the disposal of the Commander in Chief of the Pakistan Army on 10th July 1948. Some of the Army Officers in this Ahmadi unit were Major Waqiuz-Zaman, Major Hamidullah and Capt. Nehmatullah Sharif. A year earlier, in 1947, the Ahmadiyya Movement presented a list of 199 Ahmadi officers who were serving in the British military. The British Government even opened a pilot training school at Qadian in the early 1940’s. In those days, if someone was an Ahmadi, their entry into the military was expedited, since Ahmadi’s were the most trusted group of Indian’s by the British. In fact, it is rumored that Zia ul Haq even did bait at the hand of the Khalifa in 1941. As early as 1941, there was an Ahmady only company which fought on the Burma front, Bashir Ahmad Orchard met them and eventually joined Ahmadiyya since he saw how favorable the British viewed them. In the same year (1948), an Ahmadi, Ghulam Nabi Gilkar was appointed as President for Azad Kashmir by the Khalifa himself, and via the order of the British government. Even in Africa, in the Gambia, the first head of state was an Ahmadi.

MGA had some serious issues with Muslims dressing like Christians, MGA hated it. In this specific reference, MGA is lamenting on how young Muslim men, all throughout the Muslim world have began to shave their beards, to grow their mustaches and adopting european ways, MGA claims that this is a curse from Allah, since Muslims continue to reject him. In the meme in the above, which was floating on the internet, we see pictures of different grandsons of MGA, who have shaved or trimmed off their beards and kept thick mustaches. Which is exactly what MGA hated, these grandsons of MGA are also wearing suits and ties and have thus also adopted European clothing.
