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 on March-17-1944 (1:25 time stamp). 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. In 1906, he married Salihi Bi, daughter of Pir Manzoor Muhammad of Ludhiana (brother-in-law of Noorudin).
Soon thereafter (early Jan-1909), Mir Muhammad Ishaq (MGA’s brother-in-law, 18 years old) prepared 7 questions about the relationship between the Sadr Anjuman (of which he was President) and submitted them to the Khalifa (Maulvi Nur ud Din). He lived in the same house as Nur ud Din at the time (1909). Nevertheless, the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa didn’t mention the questions in 1921 at all, however, in 1962, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s revealed 3 of the questions (the other 4 are alleged to be similar)(see page 88). The 3 questions were: : (1) Is the Anjuman subservient to the Khalifa (Maulana Nur-ud-Din) or vice versa? (2) Can the Anjuman dismiss the Khalifa or vice versa? (3) How far can the Khalifa interfere in the affairs of the Anjuman? Mir Muhammad Ishaq also told the Khalifa that Maulvi Muhammad Ali and his friends were secretly opposing the Khalifa and it’s office. Lahori-Ahmadi sources allege that Maulvi Nur ud Din sent these questions to be answered by Muhammad Ali and they were. They were sent out. The same questionnaire was also sent to prominent Ahmadi’s in Lahore. Maulvi Nur ud Din called an emergency meeting of the top members.
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 and ROR of April-1944). The ROR alleges that he was Majlis Motamadin Qadian, Nazir-i-Ziafat and Head-master -Madrassa-i-Ahmadiyya.
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.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________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])(See ROR of April 1944).
______________________________________________________________________________________________February of 1906
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. Mirza Aziz Ahmad was also present for the Waleema. He had just gained entrance into the University of the Punjab too.

The famous Ahmadi clash in 1909 over their silly #Khilafat – ahmadiyyafactcheckblog
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.
31st January 1909
Mir Muhammad Ishaq was present on this day and supported the Noorudin’s Khilafat and the family of MGA. This was the famous day wherein Nooruddin tried to solve the issues of the Sadr Anjuman, i.e. the powers of the Khalifa.
At the first Ahmadiyya Jalsa (Dec-1908) after MGA died, there seems to have been wranglings about the powers of the Khalifa vs. the Sadr Anjuman the famous autobiography of the life of Maulvi Muhammad Ali (Mujahid-e-Kabir, 1962)(See also (Al-Badr, 24–31 December 1908, p.13). Soon thereafter, Mir Muhammad Ishaq (MGA’s brother-in-law) was tasked to prepare 7 questions about the relationship between the Sadr Anjuman (of which he was President) and the Khalifa (himself).
The meeting was setup for Jan-31-1909, on the roof of the Masjid Mubarak (right next to MGA’s house). The 2nd Qadiani Khalifa alleges that 200-225 men were there (See page 242). All members of the Sadr Anjuman were there : Maulana Nur-ud-Din —President, Maulana Muhammad Ali —Secretary, Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din —Legal Advisor, Maulana Syed Muhammad Ahsan of Amroha, Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad, Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan of Malir Kotla, Seth Abdur Rahman of Madras, Maulana Ghulam Hasan Khan of Peshawar, Mir Hamid Shah of Sailkot, Shaikh Rahmatullah of Lahore, Dr. Mirza Yaqub Baig of Lahore, Dr. Syed Muhammad Husain Shah of Lahore, Dr. Khalifa Rasheed-ud-Din, Dr. Mir Muhammad Ismail.
After reading all the responses from Ahmadi’s from Lahore to Qadian, Maulvi Noorudin gave a fiery speech wherein he asserted his control as the Khalifa to whom bait was given and above any Anjuman. Maulvi Noorudin then forced Maulvi Muhammad Ali and Khwaja Kamaluddin to take a new bait at his hand (the nature of this bait was discussed later), they complied accordingly! Maulvi Noorudin then forced Shaikh Yacub Ali Irfani to also take a new bait at his hand and he complied (See page 245). In late 1914, Khwaja Kamaluddin vehemently argued that he and Maulvi Muhammad Ali took a different type of bait that day (Via page 249, Vide Andruni Ikhtilafat e-Silsilah Ahmadiyya kei Asbab, p. 58). Lahori-Ahmadi sources allege that Mir Muhammad Ishaq also had to get a new bait with the Khalifa (see page 89), the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa didn’t confirm or deny it.
Ahmadiyya issues continued throughout 1909 (see in the below), it was really a tumultuous year, and Noorudin was still living in MGA’s house, which must have been super awkward for all parties involved.

muj-kabir-uk-online.pdf (ahmadiyya.org)
During the course of his Eid khutba, on 16 October 1909, Maulana Nur-ud-Din reiterated the position and the powers given to the Anjuman by the Promised Messiah. Referring to the booklet Al-Wasiyyat (The Will) he said: “In the writing of Hazrat sahib [i.e. Al-Wasiyyat by the Promised Messiah] there is a point of deep knowledge which I will explain to you fully. He left it up to God as to who was going to be the khalifa. On the other hand, he said to fourteen men: You are collectively the Khalifat-ul Masih, your decisions are final and binding, and the government authorities too consider them as absolute. Then all those fourteen men became united in taking the bai‘at at the hand of one man, accepting him as their khalifa, and thus you were united. And then not only fourteen, but the whole community agreed upon my khilafat. …
I have read Al-Wasiyyat very thoroughly. It is indeed true that he has made fourteen men the Khalifat-ul-Masih, and written that their decision arrived at by majority opinion is final and binding. Now observe that these God-fearing men, whom Hazrat sahib chose for his khilafat, have by their righteous opinion, by their unanimous opinion, appointed one man as their Khalifa and Amir. And then not only themselves, but they made thousands upon thousands of people to embark in the same boat in which they had themselves embarked.” (Badr, 21 October 1909, p. 11, col. 1)
In the same issue of Badr, immediately after the above khutba, a statement by the members from Lahore is published as follows: “When on the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr we went
to Qadian as usual, we learnt that some people had written letters to Hazrat Khalifat-ul-Masih stating that some members of the Majlis-i-Mu‘timiddin (executive committee) of the Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya are against him. We were very grieved by these letters and think that Hazrat Khalifat-ul-Masih must have been hurt as well. We do not harbour ill thoughts against our brethren, and we pray that they too think well of us, as is very strongly commanded in the Quran and Hadith. We cannot rip open our hearts and show anyone what thoughts are within
them, but with this announcement we assure all friends that the pledge we took of Hazrat Khalifat-ul-Masih was not due to any pressure or compulsion but willingly from the bottom of our hearts, and we still stand firm on that pledge and obey Hazrat Khalifat-ul-Masih. It is clear that the unity of this Movement is not a unity on pain of punishment but a voluntary unity. It is on the principle of that voluntary unity that all of us took the pledge of Hazrat Khalifat-ul-Masih, and as regards the future we pray to Allah to keep us steadfast on this covenant as Noah prayed: ‘I seek refuge in Thee from asking Thee about that of which I have no knowledge’, for the granting of all capability and strength is only in Allah’s hands.
— Humbly: Mirza Yaqub Baig, signed by his own hand; Rahmatullah, signed by his own hand; members of the executive committee, Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya Qadian, 17 October 1909.

Ahmadiyya sources tell us that he passed the “Maulvi-Fazil” course and became an Ahmadiyya imam-proper. However, there was no madrassa at Qadian which was qualified to produce imam’s, he was most likely grandfathered in via Noorudin. Ishaq also claims to have learned the Quran from Noorudin.
