Intro
Mir Muhammad Ishaq was the son of Mir Nasir Nawab, and younger brother of Nusrat Jehan Begum and Dr. Mir Muhammad Isma’il. His date of birth is Sept 8th, 1890 in Ludhiana. Which is recorded in Nuzul ul Masih (published in 1909). Per Ahmadiyya sources, he had totally moved to Qadian by 1894. He lived with MGA until MGA died in 1908, he even claims to have watched MGA lead prayers for the women of the house many times, whilst standing on MGA’s side, women weren’t allowed in the mosques in Qadian in those days, he lived in this very mansion until he died in 1944. He even accompanied MGA on his tours of Delhi, Ludhiana, Lahore and Gurdaspur in the era of 1903–1905. At times, he even acted as MGA’s scribe, as he helped to write responses to letters and other various administrative tasks around the house at Qadian. Ahmadiyya sources tell us that he was never scared to fight non-Ahmadi’s. The ROR of February-1916 reports that he was at the 1915-Jalsa at Qadian and even gave some speeches. They even called him a Professor at the Ahmadiyya Madrassa at Qadian.
In fact, in the 1920–1930’s, he was involved in many fist-fights between Ahmadi’s and Non-Ahmadi’s (see 18:00 of this video). By 1933, he became the headmaster at the Qadiani mullah training center (jamia). He died on March 17, 1944 at age 54(see Tadhkirah, 2009 online edition, page 721).
He seems to have also written a commentary on the Quran, the second edition (online edition) is from 2006. The first edition was published from Rabwah, which makes it 1950’s–1970’s, interestingly, in terms of 5:75, he translated the controversial words as “many” and not “All”. He also contradicted the Khalifa on 2:4.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________His children

Mir Mahmood Ahmad Nasir Sahib is a Waqfe Zindagi and has served as missionary in Spain and USA. She also had the opportunity to stay there (spain) and fulfil her obligations as wife of a missionary. When Masjid Basharat was constructed in Spain the family was there and worked extremely hard for the inauguration ceremony. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (may Allah have mercy on him) related that during those days if the family had the chance to retire at 3 am they would be happy to get some sleep. She leaves behind four sons and a daughter. Her two sons are Waqfe Zindagi.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________1898–1904
It is unclear whether or not he attended the Talim ul Islam Kids school at Qadian. No Ahmadiyya sources give this indication. However, he was living with MGA, and both of his siblings and his father. The whereabouts of his mother are unknown.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1902
In 1909, Nuzul ul Masih is published and mentions a terrible dream that MGA saw about Mir Muhammad Ishaq and his mother (see Tadhkirah, page 264). Ahmadiyya sources claim that this book was written in 1902. This exact story was initially published in Haqiqatul Wahy, (see online english edition).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1903–1904
He accompanied MGA on his tours of Delhi, Ludhiana, Lahore and Gurdaspur. Ishaq remembers how MGA was denied a chair in the court of this Hindu judge.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1905–May
Mir Muhammad Ishaq’s name is mentioned in the Ahmadiyya newspaper, Al-Badr. He is referred to as Miyyan Muhammad Ishaq and he was sick, wherein MGA claims to have prayed for him and cured him miraculously (See 2009 online edition of Tadhkirah, pages 720-722), (see also, [al-Hakam, vol. 9, no. 18, May 24, 1905, p. 1; Badr, vol. 1, no. 7, May 18, 1905, p. 5] and [al-Hakam, vol. 9, no. 18, May 24, 1905, p. 1; Badr, vol. 1, no. 7, May 18, 1905, p. 1]).

He is married at age 16 to Salihah Bibi, daughter of Sahibzadah Pir Manzur Muhammad (see the 2009 online edition of Tadhkirah english, pages 789-790. Noorudin read the wedding ceremony. Al-Badr and Al-Hakam also published this news. Pir Manzur Muhammad was the son of Sufi Ahmad Jan. Noorudin and him were brother-in-laws.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1906
He helped MGA in writing down many signs which appeared in Haqiqatul Wahy. He also walked with MGA around Qadian whenever needed. In Haqiqatul Wahy, Sign #143 is about MIr Muhammad Ishaq, MGA also disgraced or talked bad about Ishaq’s mother (MGA’s mother-in-law), MGA accused her of allowing an enemy into MGA’s house (the enemy was Dr. Abdul Hakim Khan of Patiala. MGA also claims that Tumours appeared on his groin on both
sides, and it became certain that it was plague, as plague had broken out in some villages of this district (see Haqiqatul Wahy, online english edition, pages 411-413).
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.

After the first Jalsa without MGA present, rumblings were coming from the members of the Sadr Anjuman to the effect that the “Khalifa” position was equal to the body of the Sadr Anjuman (a 14 member body). However, Noorudin was the Khalifa and the President of the Sadr Anjuman. Mir Muhammad Ishaq and the family of MGA posed several questions on this topic to Noorudin in an attempt for clarification. Noorudin sent those questions to Maulvi Muhammad Ali (and remember, all of these people lived together in MGA’s house at Qadian) and (see “truth about the split”, pages 230-240, online english edition). Mirza Basheer-uddin Mahmud Ahmad claims to have seen a dream with Mir Muhammad Ishaq in it, wherein Mir Muhammad Ishaq is lighting a house on fire symbolically.
