Intro
Ahmadiyya sources (See the Al-Fazl, 17 and 20 April 1922) allege that Burhan ud Din met MGA in Gurdaspur (the year is not given)(they mention Hamid Ali as MGA’s toilet attendant), in a funny story, Burhan ud Din alleges that he snuck in saw MGA walking fast and back and forth (like a crazy man). In another Ahmadi source it is alleged that Burhan ud Din met MGA for the time in Hoshiarpur (which would be (Jan 25–March-1886, this was MGA’s 40 days of seclusion, he might have stayed a few days longer). Ahmadiyya sources allege that Burhan-ud-Din was a member of the Ahl-e-Hadith and a pupil of Syed Nazeer Hussain of Delhi (who had read MGA’s nikah in 1884). Ahmadiyya sources allege that MGA’s announcement of July 10 and 15, 1888, which mostly about the Muhammadi Begum prophecy (Mirza Ahmad Baig is also mentioned) were uttered in the presence of Maulvi Burhan ud Din and Babu Ilahi Bakhsh, the accountant.
In late July-1897, Maulvi Burhan-ud-Din Ghazi’s paternal nephew (Abdul Hameed) showed up at the Church/School/mission of Dr. Clark and confessed to have been sent to commit murder. On 1 August 1897, Dr. Henry Martyn-Clark filed a lawsuit of attempted murder against Mirza Ghulam Ahmad with Deputy Commissioner Montagu William Douglas in Ludhiana. In the famous court case, another nephew of Maulvi Burhan-ud-Din named Yusuf Khan (an Ex-Ahmadi turned Christian) testified vs. MGA in the case of Dr. Clark and murder. Maulvi Burhan-ud-Din had 2 nephews caught up in the attempted murder of Dr. Clark.
Burhan uddin also commented on MGA’s stuttering, which was obvious. See this video for more info. We have taken this entire entry from the Al-Hakam website. He was mentioned as Ahmadi #84 on the famous list of 313 in 1896 (See Anjam-e-Athim)(See Dard also).
Maulvi Burhan-ud-Din died just a few months after Maulvi Abdul Karim on Dec-3rd-1905. MGA and his team immediately manufactured an ilham that warned MGA of his death, this was published on Dec-8-1905 (See Badr, vol. 1, no. 38, p. 7, dated 8 December 1905, Malfuzat-8, pages 182-183).

Via Tadhkirah
“””In January 1886, I received another revelation in Hoshiarpur about Mirza Ahmad Baig which was announced to a group of people among whom were Babu Ilahi Bakhsh, Accountant, and Maulavi Burhan-ud-Din of Jhelum. It runs as follows:
[Arabic] I saw this woman [the mother-in-law of Ahmad Baig of Hoshiarpur, who was the grandmother of Muhammadi Begum and mother of Mirza Imam-ud-Din] and noticed the marks of weeping on her face and said to her: ‘O Woman repent, repent, for misfortune is pursuing your progeny and affliction is about to descend upon you. He [Mirza Ahmad Baig] will die and will be survived by several dogs.

Maulvi Burhan-ud-Din was the paternal uncle that raised Abdul Hameed, who eventually went to kill Dr. Clarke per MGA’s order in 1897. In the famous court case, another nephew of Maulvi Burhan-ud-Din named Yusuf Khan (an Ex-Ahmadi turned Christian) testified vs. MGA in the case of Dr. Clark and murder. Maulvi Burhan-ud-Din had 2 nephews caught up in the attempted murder of Dr. Clark.
He is mentioned in MGA’s book “A Gift for the Queen” (Tohfa-e-Qaisariyyah). He was there in Qadian during the Diamond Jubilee in District Gurdaspur with MGA from June 20, 1897 to June 22, 1897.

The Fundamentals of Prayer
His Holinessas went out for a walk as was his custom. Seth Ahmad-ud-Din Sahib was with him as well. Maulvi Burhan-ud-Din Sahib submitted: “Seth Sahib had a son but he has passed away. Your Holiness, pray for him.”
The Promised Messiah as said: “Indeed, I will pray but everything depends on belief. The stronger a person’s belief, the more a person partakes of the grace of God Almighty. What does God not possess? If a person’s faith is not strong, they begin to think ill of Him and become preoccupied with amulets and charms, and incline towards others besides God. Hence, one ought to become a believer. There are principles for prayer. I have mentioned many times that on certain occasions God Almighty does His own will and on other occasions he accepts the will of a believer. Moreover, as we are not all-knowing, nor are we aware of the outcomes of our needs, sometimes we will ask for something that is harmful for us. So, God does accept our prayer and will bestow on the supplicant that which is beneficial for them. For example, if a farmer were to ask a king for an excellent horse, but the king recognises his need better and gives him an excellent ox instead, that is more appropriate for the farmer. You will observe that a mother also does not fulfil her child’s every wish. If a child desires to take hold of a snake or a burning piece of coal, would she ever allow it? Hence, one sho….

Burhanuddin: A Proof of Faith
His death (on 3 December 1905), along with the death of Maulvi Abdul Karim Sialkoti at around the same time (10 October), became a major factor for MGA to establish the Madrasa-e-Ahmadiyya; the loss of these two high-ranking scholars had to be filled with not two, but many scholars.

Undated
The Late Maulawi Burhan-ud-Din When Maulawi [Burhan-ud-Din ra] Sahib was mentioned, the Promised Messiah as said:
Maulawi Sahib was a man with a sufi bent of mind. He often stayed in the presence of the ascetic and the saintly. He also stayed with Maulawi ‘Abdullah Sahib’s teacher for quite some time. He relished asceticism. He visited me for almost 22 years. The first time he came, I was in Hoshiarpur. So he came to visit me right there. There was a warmth and an attraction within him and an affinity towards me. Once, he started learning the Holy Quran from me, but only a few lines were studied. He possessed a sufi temperament.
His son should complete and perfect his religious studies and become a servant of the Faith like his father, and it is better if he comes here and acquires religious knowledge”””.

A Revelation The Promised Messiah as said:
I received a revelation again yesterday:

[The end of your appointed term is approaching.]
The Need for Life Devotees Upon this, the Promised Messiah as said: After seeing the condition of the Madrasah, my heart was broken and hurt. The community of scholars is passing away. Maulawi ‘Abdul-Karim’s pen had constantly been in motion. Maulawi Burhan-ud-Din passed away. There is no one to take their place. Those who are advanced in years should be considered as having….””

The data
Grave of Hazrat Maulvi Burhanuddin Jhelmi r.a.
Hazrat Maulvi Burhanuddinra of Jhelum (c. 1830-1905) was a very close companion of the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He exemplified the love that one should have with their holy master.
He had remained in the pupillage of Maulvi Syed Nazeer Husain Dehlvi (the same scholar who announced the nikah of the Promised Messiah and Hazrat Syeda Nusrat Jehan Begum Sahiba) for some time and was hence a practicing and staunch activist of the Ahl-i-Hadith movement before his allegiance to the Promised Messiah.
Burhanuddin Jehlmi established many local chapters of the Ahl-i-Hadith in India. Dissatisfied with the Ahl-i-Hadith ideology, he travelled far and wide in pursuit of a spiritual master that could lead him to right path – the path that led to spiritual peace.
He met the Promised Messiah in 1886 in Hoshiarpur and requested him to accept his Bai‘at. The Promised Messiah informed him that Allah the Almighty had not yet instructed him to take allegiance. In 1891, when Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad declared to be the Messiah promised for the latter days, Hazrat Burhanuddin Jehlmi studied the books of Hazrat Ahmad accepted his claim and travelled to Qadian to pledge allegiance.
He was a great scholar and the Promised Messiah held his knowledge in high esteem. He would visit Qadian every year and it is reported that the Promised Messiah once said to him: “Your visit brings me peace.”
Burhanuddin Sahib had his own, mystical way of expressing his love and affection for his holy master. When the Promised Messiah would return home from his morning walk, Hazrat Maulvi Sahib would wipe Hazrat Ahmad’s shoes with his scarf.
Maulvi Sahib was a great scholar of tafsir, hadith, fiqh and Arabic language and grammar. Despite his high stature as a scholar, he would listen with great care and attention to every word of the Promised Messiah and remark: “How ignorant of me!”
The Promised Messiah, out of the love he had for Hazrat Maulvi Sahib, asked him to move from Jhelum and settle in Qadian but he would always respond by saying, “Huzoor, I am unworthy of living in Qadian.” This shows how, despite being an extremely educated, knowledgeable and pious person, he held the Promised Messiah and everything associated to him in the highest regard.
His death (on 3 December 1905), along with the death of Hazrat Maulvi Abdul Karim Sialkoti at around the same time (10 October), became a major factor for the Promised Messiah to establish the Madrasa-e-Ahmadiyya; the loss of these two high-ranking scholars had to be filled with not two, but many scholars.
MGA said on 6 December 1905:
“Those of the highest standards in our Jamaat are passing away. Maulvi Abdul Karim Sahib, a sincere individual, and similarly now, Maulvi Burhanuddin Sahib of Jhelum have passed away. Many other scholars of our Jamaat have passed away. It is unfortunate that we are not able to substitute the deceased.” (Maktubat-e-Ahmadiyya [old edition], Vol. 5, no. 3, p. 62)
Allah the Almighty blessed the Jamaat of the Promised Messiah with many scholars in the years to follow.

Al Fazl, 17 & 20 April 1922
20 March 1922
Knowledge of stars
Maulvi Ghulam Ahmad Sahib Akhtar asked permission to recite some couplets [of his poem]. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II[ra] granted permission. Akhtar Sahib stood up and said [in Punjabi language]: “Budha shaa‘ir aur raati shaa‘iri [old poet and night poetry].” Then, he said that the accounts he was about to present were not his own and he had only penned some of the discussion being held in the sky at night.
There were some astrological terms in the poem. At the end of the poem, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih said to Maulvi Sahib, “Are you also acquainted with the knowledge of stars?” Maulvi Sahib replied that he was Akhtar [the star of one’s fate and fortune] only by name [and had no proper knowledge of astrology]. Then Huzoor[ra] said:
“I have only read about it in English, which is basically the modern research, and not the ancient knowledge. However, the books of the Promised Messiah[as] show that he knew the ancient knowledge [of stars].”
Effects of stars
On the mention of good and bad effects of stars, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih[ra] said:
“The fact is that people generally understand the point when it reaches the conclusion. Understanding something in the middle [of a discourse] is not possible for everyone and is only the work of the scholars whether it is a religious matter or worldly. Therefore, the people take matters to the extreme for their own understanding and take them according to their own comprehension. The stars impact in certain ways, but unless someone or something does not possess the ability to accept that effect, they cannot cause any good or bad effect on anyone. It is for this reason that the prophets are not negatively affected by them.
“Medicine causes an effect, and eating bread and curry also cause an effect. All these things have an impact on health. Now a simple-minded person will wonder why medicine is taken if bread, food, etc., also affect health. Likewise, the question may arise that when the body automatically revives its strength and removes the disease, then what is the need for treatment. The fact of the matter is that if the body overpowers the disease, then the disease is automatically defeated and it goes away. The same is the case with medicine and food; if the body accepts their influence, it will prevail, otherwise the disease will prevail.
“Regarding disease, we observe that when two people come into contact with a sick person, it affects one but not the other. It is also wrong to say that a disease is contagious by nature because if someone does not have the ability to accept its effect, a contagious disease will not have an impact. It is said that a doctor drank a bottle of cholera germs but it did not cause any effect on him.”
The reality of the works of the sufis
Hazrat Khalifatul Masih[ra] said:
“The key to knowledge has been lost by people. We are surprised how they ascribe the concept of wahdat al-wujud [unity of existence] to sufis, even though the origin of the ideas is not found in their books. In the book Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya, I have observed that the refutation of the said ideas is found in every single chapter. However, it is also true that there is not a single chapter in that [book] which does not cause doubts in the minds of the people. I have come to the conclusion that the example of those kind of works of the sufis is that just as an animal has a habit of regurgitation, that it takes the eaten fodder out of its stomach and tastes it again, so is the habit of a human being. That is, when he gets some intellectual pleasure [from somewhere or something], he repeats it again and again and enjoys it. In the same way, sufis, when they come back after visiting the court of Allah, enjoy mentioning their accounts again and again in the gatherings. Consequently, sufis have expressed some points according to the extent of their abilities. However, they did not know that there would be a time when their books would fall into the hands of every able and ineligible person because of the press, where their meanings would be taken out of context. They would have thought that no one would study their books except for their close devotees.”
Goodly remembrance of Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani
Hazrat Khalifatul Masih[ra] said:
“The books of Syed Abdul Qadir Jilanirh leave very little room for doubt. It is for this reason that if the Promised Messiahas has been likened to any of the saints, it is Syed Abdul Qadir Sahib Jilanirh. He used every word very careful and wrote very little about his inner feelings. After him is the rank of Shah Waliullah Sahibrh and the special thing in his books is that his works are zu-ma‘ni [open to two interpretations].”
Attributes of a mujaddid
Hazrat Khalifatul Masih [IIra] said:
“Some people say that the attributes of a mujaddid [reformer] presented by the Promised Messiahas that they should be such and such, as are mentioned in the Persian poem of his book, Tiryaq-ul-Quloob, must be present in each one [of the mujaddids]. However, in these writings, the Promised Messiahas was referring to himself. Likewise, the accounts and ranks written in the book, Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya are in fact his [Hazrat Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi’srh] own accounts on which he urged his disciples to attain.”
How Maulvi Burhanuddin Sahib taught a lesson to a fortune-teller
At the mention of astrologers and fortune-tellers, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih[ra] said:
“Maulvi Burhanuddin Sahib Jhelami was a very good-natured man. He recounted an incident that once, a fortune-teller appeared in his neighbourhood. He used to tell people about their fate. Maulvi Sahib wanted to stop him and intended to somehow teach him a lesson so that he would stop coming. One day, Maulvi Sahib, who was not very tall, sat down with a veil over himself and showed him his hand and said, ‘Please have look at my fate.’ The fortune-teller considered him a woman and said that, ‘Your luck is very bad. Your husband who is abroad has married another woman and now he does not intend to return.’ He [Maulvi Sahib] made a weeping face and said to him, ‘Then tell me a way out of it, what should I do now and how do I get rid of this bad patch of mine.’ The fortune-teller asked for some clothes, etc., that if he would be given them, the husband would come back soon, otherwise he did not intend to return at all. Upon this, Maulvi Sahib immediately lifted the veil from his face and showed his long beard. Holding the hand of the fortune-teller tightly, he said, ‘Will he never return now?’ After going through that situation, the fortune-teller was so embarrassed that he never came to that neighbourhood again. In fact, he might have announced in his whole community that no one should go there, and therefore no one came to that neighbourhood again.”
Maulvi Burhanuddin Sahib’s first meeting with the Promised Messiah
Hazrat Khalifatul Masih[ra] said:
“His (Maulvi Burhanuddin Sahib’s) first encounter with the Promised Messiah was also quite amusing. He said, ‘I went to Qadian but the Promised Messiah was in Gurdaspur. So, I went to the house where the Promised Messiah was staying in Gurdaspur. On one side of it was a garden. The late Hamid Ali Sahib was sitting at the door. He did not allow me to enter, but I snuck in through the garden and reached the door. I slowly opened the door and saw the Promised Messiah pacing and taking long strides. I immediately turned around and understood that this person was honest who was walking fast. He must have to reach a distant destination and for that he is moving at a fast pace.’”
Huzoor[ra] said, “Being a Wahhabi, it is strange for Maulvi Sahib to think like that because these people are usually conservatives.”
