Intro
Maulana Sanaullah Amritsari was an Ahl-e-Hadith Muslim from British India, he was born into a family of Kashmiri descent. He was born on June 12, 1868 and died on March 15, 1948 in Sarghoda, Pakistan. He was a major opponent of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the early Ahmadiyya movement. Sanaullah Amritsari served as the general secretary of Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith Hind from 1906 to 1947. He was also the editor of the “”Ahle Hadees”” magazine. He moved to Pakistan at the Partition, losing his son in the process, and himself dying in Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan, in 1948, after suffering from a stroke. Syed Muhammad Hussain Batalvi was also an Ahl-e-Hadith scholar who beefed with MGA uptil about 1902, Sanaullah seems to have stepped up for the Ahl-e-Hadith of India as they battled vs. Ahmadiyya. However, Sanaullah and Batalvi never seemed to have worked together.
In 1882-1884, Maulvi Sanaullah says that he met MGA for the first time and MGA didn’t say Asalamo Alaikum, this struck a chord with Sanaullah (See page 63 “Tahrik-e-Mirza”).
In 1896, the ROR of Nov-1940 alleges that Maulvi Sanaullah and Syed Muhammad Hussain Batalvi were in attendance when the speech was given by Maulvi Abdul Karim, which ended up becoming the book, “Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam”.
In 1897, MGA mentions Maulvi Sanaullah by name in the Appendix of Anjam e Athim.
In 1900, Maulvi Sanaullah was present in Lahore when Pir Mehr Ali Shah showed up and MGA was a “no-show”.
In 1902, Maulvi Sanaullah published his famous commentary of the Quran called Tafseer Sanai. MGA quoted this book in 1902, as MGA called Abu Hurairah as stupid, since this commentary quotes a hadith from Sahih Bukhari wherein Abu Hurairah proved that 4:159 meant that Esa (As) hadn’t died yet. He gets into a debate vs. some Ahmadi’s. MGA mentions all of this in his book, Ijaz i Ahmadi. This debate was to be held on October 29, 30, 1902. Syed Muhammad Sarwar Shah and Maulavi Abdullah Kashmiri were to represent the Ahmadis at the debate, and Maulavi Sanaullah the other party. The debate was held in the open under a banyan tree. There were only three Ahmadis at the debate and over 600 non-Ahmadis were present. Maulavi Sanaullah Amritsari fanned the feelings of the villagers by asserting that the Ahmadis were afraid of debates. When the terms were being settled Maulavi Sanaullah insisted that nobody should speak for more than 20 minutes despite the protest by Syed Sarwar Shah that the time fixed (20 minutes) was woefully inadequate. Also, MGA mentions the debate in Mudh in his book, E’jaz-i-Ahmadi (I‘jāz-e-Ahmadi) roughly 70 times, which was also in 1902.
In 1903, MGA has entire chapter wherein he talks about how Maulvi Sanaullah popped up at Qadian (SeeMawahibur-Rahman). MGA claims that Maulvi Thana’ullah was present at the famous Karam Din case (see Haqiqatul Wahi, online English edition)(1903-1904).
In late Aug-1907, MGA and his team of writers alleges that plague had been raging for 11 years and was now about to spread in Kabul, America and Europe. They were alleging that plague was already spreading in America. MGA also alleges that he prophecies and even Maulvi Sanaullah saw the announcement back in 1896 (a lie)(Al-Hakam, vol. 11, no. 31, p. 12–13, dated 31 August 1907, Via Malfuzat-9, Online English Edition, pages 352-354).
In July of 1907, MGA and his team of writers mentioned Maulvi Sanaullah and said that no one can escape punishment (See the al-Badr, vol. 6, no. 28, p. 5–6, dated 11 July 1907, Via Malfuzat-9, Online English Edition, page 301).
On Nov-10-1907, MGA and his team of writers published an announcement in the Al-Hakam and Al-Badr of Nov-10-1907 (See the scans in the below)(Via Majmua Ishtiharat, V-3, pages 461-467). Bro Imtiaz explained it in full detail herein (1:19:40). This announcement is about Maulvi Sanaullah, the death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad, Abdul Hakim Patialvi and a new promised son (Musleh Maud?). In this announcement, MGA says that people are showing happiness at the death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad. MGA says that people are saying that the death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad is a sign that MGA lost a Mubahila (with Abdul Hakim Patialvi and Maulvi Sanaullah). MGA and his team of writers tell a bold face lie and allege that MGA has tried to make the children of his opponents as signs of truth (1:22:09). However, this is a lie, in Jan-1907, a Muslim opponent of MGA named Saadullah died and MGA had prophecied that he not have children. In 1906-1907, via “Haqiqatul Wahi”, MGA mentions Abdul-Haqq Ghaznavi 6 times (see pages 306-307). MGA specifically under sign #92, and sign #159 (page 444). MGA alleges that Maulawi Abdul Haqq Ghaznavi had no children and thus lost the Mubahila (see page 445). MGA alleged that Maulawi Abdul Haqq Ghaznavi‘s brother died and he married the widow and she is now pregnant. MGA argues that in contrast, he was given 4 sons and hundreds of thousands of rupees (page 551). Also in this announcement, MGA alleges that he knew 2-3 years ago (1904-1905 era)(Kayn Burse) that Mirza Mubarak Ahmad would die young (1:25:09). MGA then alleges that he has already announced that this child would not survive. MGA also alleges that when his God told him that Mirza Mubarak Ahmad would die, MGA’s God also said that those will be bitter days in his life (like sad and shameful)(1:26:18). MGA alleges, besides these, there were many additional revelations which were explicit/clear/open about the impending death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad. MGA alleges that many years ago he predicted the death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad in newspapers like Al-Badr and Al-Hakam. These prophecies were clear and without a shadow of doubt that Mirza Mubarak Ahmad would not reach the age of adulthood and would die as a minor (it was destined, muqarram). Also in this announcement, MGA alleges (via Bro Imtiaz, 2:31:52) that when Mirza Mubarak Ahmad died (9-16-1907), MGA’s god sent him another fresh revelation about a boy who will be just like Mirza Mubarak Ahmad, a replica. This was because MGA’s God didn’t want his enemies to be happy, and it will be as-if Mirza Mubarak Ahmad never died. However, MGA died himself about 8 months later. MGA then says that his God will make his children a very powerful people (2:39:10). Also in this announcement, MGA mentions the prophecy vs. Dr. Abdul-Hakim Khan (from Patiala)(via Bro Imtiaz, 2:42:29) and how it started in July 1907 and was for 14 months (scheduled to end in Sep-1908). MGA says that his life will be prolonged, and he will win (see the “Age Prophecy“). MGA told Ahmadi’s to memorize and print this announcement (2:49:37) and post it on their walls. MGA also says that he knows the deaths of his close relatives (bahot qareeb mutalaqeen 2:52:34) is nearing.
In 1908 (July) Maulvi Sanaullah is mentioned in the Ahmadi newspaper Al-Hakam, as he argued that MGA’s prophethood only lasted 6 1/2 years, since it started in 1901 (See Urdu ROR of June-July-1908, page 238, 295-296 and 298 and Via Bro Imtiaz, TikTok-25).
In 1909, Maulvi Sanaullah had a debate with top Ahmadi’s in Rampur. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, Hafiz Raushan Ali, Maulvi Muhammad Ali, Syed Sarwar Shah, Mir Qasim Ali and Maulvi Ahsan Amrohi were there representing Ahmadi’s (see Hakeem Nur ud Din) as they debated Maulvi Sanaullah Amritsari (see Hakeem Nur ud Din).
In 1911, Maulvi Sanaullah commented on Mirza Basheer ud Din’s famous essay wherein the Mirza calls all Muslims as Kafirs (see Truth about the Split). Maulvi Sanaullah’s wrote a fatwa in terms of prayers behind the Lahori-Ahmadi’s.
In 1913, the District Magistrate (of Lahore) asked for money from Maulvi Sanaullah’s as a result of an article in the “Ahl-e-Hadis” magazine of Oct-31, 1913. This seems to be a response to the Qadiani article on the birth of Eisa (As). The grossly obscene Qadiani article appeared in the Al-Badr of Oct-30-1913. Maulvi Sanaullah and his team from his “Ahl-e-Hadis” magazine was forced to pay money as a form of a security. The Al-Badr was also forced to pay 3000 rupees as penalty. Reverend Mr. Howell seems to have also been part of this and he was warned by District Magistrate (of Lahore) and the Bishop of Lahore. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was mentioned too and let off with a warning.
After 1914, he had many debates and arguments with various Ahmadi leaders, he eventually wrote many books, the most famous book in terms of his battles with Ahmadiyya is Ilhamat-e-Mirza (1928)– a critical account of the ‘revelations’ of Mirza. He was also the main editor and owner of a monthly magazine called, “Muraqqa-Qadiani” which lasted from 1907 until MGA died in May of 1908. Its articles were compiled in the shape of book titled “Muraqqa Qadiani” published in 1917. He seems to have also written the famous “”Tafsir Thana’i””, also spelled as Tafsir Sanai or Tafeer Sanai. This was published before 1908. MGA referred to it in Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya Vol. 5, MGA lied and claimed that Maulana Sanaullah had also written that Abu Hurairya was deficient in knowledge. In response to the publication of “Satyarth Prakash” in Urdu, Sanaullah Amritsari wrote “Haq Prakash by Satyarth Prakash” in Urdu (which has also been in Hindi for a long time). In which the answers were given in order. In it, Maulana Sanaullah Amritsari also wrote that Swami Dayanand did not know Hindi properly. The Hindi translation of the Quran had not yet been published. The Urdu translation was translated into Hindi. The Arya Samaj did not say from whose translation they write absurd things.
In 1916, Maulvi Sanaullah had a debate with Maulana Ghulam Rasul Rajeki in Kartarpur, this debate was reported in other Urdu Ahmadiyya newspaper also (See the ROR of June-1916)
In 1922, Ahmadiyya sources claim that Maulvi Sanaullah had a debate with Maulvi Farzand Ali in Ferozepur on June 3, 1922.
In the 1930’s, Maulvi Sanaullah had many public debates with an Ahmadi-Mullah named Maulana Abul ‘Ata Jallundhari (See Nubuwwat and Khilafat, 1966).
The ROR of Nov-1940 mentions Sanaullah and admits that he is still alive.
In 1945, Maulvi Sanaullah Amritsari commented on the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa’s involvement in Indian politics (See the Ahl-e-Hadith of Amritsar, 6 July 1945, p. 4) and their similarity with Ghandi.
In the late summer of 1947, Maulvi Sanaullah moved to Pakistan during partition and his son died in the rioting.
Maulvi Sanaullah died on March 15, 1948 in Sarghoda, Pakistan after suffering from a stroke.

Maulvi Sanaullah says that he met MGA for the first time and MGA didn’t say Asalamo Alaikum, this struck a chord with Sanaullah (See page 63 “Tahrik-e-Mirza”).
“””Just as there are two parts of Mirza’s life (up to Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah and after that), likewise my relationship with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad had two parts; pre-Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah and post-Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah. Until Barahin, I had a favourable view of Mirza. There was an interesting event about my first meeting with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani when I was around 17 or 18 years old. I enthusiastically went to visit Mirza from Batala to Qadian on foot. In those days,
Mirza was an aspiring writer, but despite the desire and love I had, I saw something which changed my view of him in the first meeting. What I saw is still very vivid. What happened was that I was sitting in his house in the courtyard. He came in without saying, “Assalaamu alaikum,” and immediately asked, “Where did you come from? What do you do?” I was a student who learned and benefitted from the company of scholars who knew that it is Sunnah to say, “Assalaamu alaikum,” when approaching others. It struck a chord in me that he did not seem
to care about the Sunnah. What was his reason? Out of good faith I suppressed that thought.”””

_____________________________________________________________________________________________1903—January
Maulvi Sanullah visits Qadian. He writes:
‘Bismillah Al-Rehman Al-Raheem. To Janab Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Saheb, Raees-e-Qadian.
This humble self, according to your invitation mentioned in Aijaz-e-Ahmadi pp. 11-13, I am presently here in Qadian. Until now, Ramadhan prevented me from accepting your invitation, otherwise I would not have delayed it. I swear upon God that I do not have any personal grievance or animosity against you. Since according to you, you are appointed on such a high position which is for the guidance of all humanity in general and for sincere persons like me especially, therefore I firmly hope that you will not spare any effort to make me understand, and as promised, you will give me permission that I will express in front of people my thoughts about your prophecies. Once again I remind you of my sincerity and the trouble that I have taken to travel all the way, and by virtue of the grand position, please give me a chance.’ …. from Abu al-Wafa Sanaullah. dated 10th January 1903.’ (Tareekh-e-Mirza by Maulana Sanaullah Amratsari p. 61).
Mirza was stunned. He never thought in his wildest dreams that Molvi Sanaullah Saheb would ever come to Qadian. He replied, trying to avoid facing him. He wrote:
“””I have promised God that I would never debate with those people (opponents). Thus that way which is quite far away from debates is that to clear this stage you will have to promise that you will not go out of the ‘Minhaj-e-Nabuwwat – way of the prophethood’ ……. 2nd condition is that you will not be allowed to speak at all. You will only give a written objection, one line or two lines, that this is your objection. Then in the gathering, a detailed reply would be given. For objection, there is no need to write in detail, just a line or two is enough. 3rd condition is that you would raise only ONE objection per day. Since you have not informed us of your coming, rather you have sneaked in like a thief, because of lack of free time and work of printing the book, we cannot spend more than three hours. Remember that this will never be allowed that you give a long lecture like a sermon in front of public, instead you will have to absolutely keep your mouth shut, as deaf and dumb, so that the talk does not turn into a debate. First you will ask only regarding one prophecy. For three hours I can give its reply, and at each you will be cautioned that even if now you are not satisfied then write it down. It would not be your task to let (people) hear your objection. We will read ourselves, but it should not be more than two or three lines. This way, you will not suffer, since you have come to clear your doubts, this way is excellent to remove doubts. I will announce to the people that regarding this prophecy, such and such doubt has come into the heart of Molvi Saheb, and this is its reply. This way all the doubts will be cleared. But if you want that like a debate you are allowed to talk, then this will never happen. (Mirza repeated the same conditions at least two more times in the next paragraph) …. From my side, I swear upon God, that I would not go out of this, and will not hear anything, you will not dare to utter a single word from your mouth. And I bind you also with the swear of God, that if you have come with a true heart, then be bound to it and do not spend your life in creating trouble and disturbance. And whosoever among the two of us, breaks this oath, then God’s curse be on him, and may God will that he sees the fruit of this curse in his life. Ameen….. by the pen of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad by his own hand”””” (Tareekh-e-Mirza pp.62-64).
One would have thought that Molvi Sanaullah would have given up after reading such absurd conditions where he is not even allowed to say a single word. But Allah had given him long patience. He wrote back to Mirza Saheb:
“”””I received your long letter. Alas! what is the expectations of the whole country, same thing has happened. Respected Sir! When I have come according to your invitation mentioned in Aijaz-e-Ahmadi, and in clear words I have given reference of the same pages, then such long talk from you …. me dear Sir, it is so sad that on the one hand you invite me to come to do research, that I prove your prophecies wrong to get the cash reward Rs. 100 for each, and then in your letter you are binding me to write just one or two lines whereas for your self you propose to have three hours!!!
Is this the way of research that I write one or two lines and you make a speech for three hours? This shows clearly that you are now regretting having invited me, and is denying your own invitation, and refraining from research, for which you had invited me on page 23. Dear Sir! Did you invite me to your house write these two lines only? I could have done better sitting in Amratsir, and am doing it already. But remembering the troubles of my journey, I do not want to go empty handed, therefore I accept your injustice as well and will write only two three lines, and you can no doubt speak for three hours. However I would request this much alteration that I would read my two three lines to the audience, and after every hour of your speech, I would express my thoughts about your speech for 5 minutes, maximum 10 minutes. Since you do not like public audience, therefore the gathering from sides would be limited to 25 persons. You akin my coming without informing you to be like a thief! Is this how you greet your guests? There was no condition that you have to be informed in advance. Moreover, you would have received the news from heavens. Whatever speech you are going to make, kindly give it to me then, and proceedings will start from today. After I receive your reply, I will send you my brief question. As far as the talk about cursing is concern, it is the same which is mentioned in hadith…. from Sanaullah dated 11th January 1903″””” (Tareekh-e-Mirza p.65) (Hadith about Curse: If the person who has been cursed, does not deserve the curse, then it returns to the one who has cursed).
Mirza Ghulam A Qadiani did not reply to this letter, instead instructed his disciple Mohammed Ahsan Amrohi to write the reply:
“”””Molvi Sanaullah Saheb, your letter was read to Hazrat-e-Aqdas, Imam-uz-Zaman, Maseeh Mowood … since its contents were purely racist and hateful, which is far away from seeking the truth, therefore this reply is enough from Hazrat-e-Aqdas (Mirza) that you do not want to investigate the truth … Hazrat has sworn that he would not enter into any debate with his opponents, how can an appointee of Allah go against his promise of God?… therefore your proposals are absolutely not acceptable…. From Mohammed Ahsan by order of Hazrat Imam-uz-Zaman dated 11th January 1903″””” (Tareekh-e-Mirza p.66).

Listen to our brother Obaidullah explain this entire scenario on the Shams channel herein (see at the 1:50:20 mark). This is in terms of an essay that appeared in the Ahl-e-Hadees newspaper dated April 5th, 1904. This was the newspaper edited by Maulvi Sanaullah. The topic starts on page 12, Qadiani’s have never began at page 12, they always start from page 13, which is a direct quotation from the Review of Religions and an article entitled, “Evidence that the Nasiree Messiah arrived in Kashmir”. However, the full article is entitled, “The Realty of Afghani’s and Kashmiri’s”, via the civil and military gazette, Lahore. On the final page of the essay, in brackets it is written {ROR}, thus proving that this was a direct quote. In the ROR quote, MGA argued that Jewish people would meet their wives even before marriage and touch intimately and Afghani’s and Kashmiri’s do the same.

(Before ‘Isha Prayer)
The Difference between the Promised Messiah and His Opponents
When His Holiness came before ‘Isha as usual, first the four men from the vicinity of Lodhi Nangal performed Bai‘at [the Pledge of Allegiance]. After the Bai‘at, it was mentioned that Maulawi Sanaullah of Amritsar had gone to the village of Teja in the vicinity of Lodhi Nangal, where, during his address at a public gathering, he said that the followers of Mirza Sahib recite the following creed:
�للّٰہِِِ�للّٰہِ مِِِمِرْْْرْزَََزَا غُُُغُ ا لَالَامِِِمِ اَََاَحْْْحْمَََمَدَََدَ رَََرَسُُُسُوْْْوْلُُُلُ ا �للّٰهُ اِِِاِلٰلٰهَََٰٰهَ اِِِاِالَّاالَّا ا �لَاۤ [‘There is no one worthy of worship except
Allah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is the Messenger of Allah’]. Upon hearing this, an opponent [of the Ahmadiyya Movement] but fair-minded person stood up and said, ‘Maulawi Sahib, if you can show this creed from any of Mirza Sahib’s writings, I will give you a cash reward of 500 rupees right now.’ Hearing this challenge, Maulawi Sahib was stumped, and most people got up and left in disgust, and Maulawi Sahib came back embarrassed.””””

(In Amritsar)
A speech was proposed in Amritsar on the morning of the 9th, for which the lecture hall of Mr Rai Kanhaiya Lal, the lawyer, was obtained. The lecture hall was full of men.
The Promised Messiah as began his speech after 8 o’clock. He initially stated:
Only a few men were with me approximately fourteen years ago when I came here. The maulawis pronounced a fatwa of kufr [disbelief ] against me, and ‘Abdul-Haqq Ghaznavi entered into a mubahalah [prayer duel] with me; meaning that, he and I took oaths in which I affirmed that if I am a liar and a fabricator in my claim, may God humiliate and destroy me. After this mubahalah, God Almighty supported me immensely. Today, my followers number more than 300,000, and many sincere friends surround me.
Furthermore, despite the opponents’ strenuous efforts and machinations, God Almighty safeguarded me against lawsuits and granted me a great deal of wealth. In short, the Promised Messiah as spoke for about 45 minutes, and after that, he wanted to start mentioning the beauties of Islam. However, it is a pity that the opponents had come with plans hatched in advance to raise a clamour so no one could hear. Among them were the men of the Ghaznavi group and Maulawi Sanaullah’s party. So there was a great disturbance and an uproar, some clapped and whistled, and some started shouting obscenities.
The leaders of Amritsar stood up and explained to them again and again, and the police tried to silence them and make them sit down, but no one obeyed. So much uproar was created that the lecture had to be stopped, but efforts to disperse the people failed. Furthermore, when the Promised Messiah as was about to board the vehicle to leave, stones and bricks began to rain down. It was the sheer protection of God that we were all saved; otherwise, stones were falling on us like the people of Taif had pelted stones upon the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
At this very moment, the Promised Messiah as said: It was necessary that this sunnah also see fulfilment because this has been happening with all the Prophets. In the time of the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, the opponents hatched similar plots when he would speak, making noise during the recitation of the Holy Quran so no one could hear the Holy Quran.”””

Maulawi Sanaullah of Amritsar
Then, the Promised Messiah as said that:
Sanaullah writes that the prophecy about the death of Sa‘dullah has not been fulfilled whereas this prophecy has been fulfilled as bright as day. Powerful arguments will be written about the fulfilment of this prophecy in the book Haqiqatul-Wahi.
Maulawi Muhammad Husain Batalwi
The Promised Messiah as said:
Sanaullah has increased in hurling abuse as compared to Muhammad Husain Batalwi.
Muhammad Husain Batalwi was mentioned. The learned [Maulawi Muhammad Ahsan] Amrohi submitted: There was a time that Muhammad Husain Batalwi had declared that it was he indeed who had elevated him, meaning the Promised Messiah as and that he was the one who would bring him down, but the contrary happened. (This rise and fall by Muhammad Husain means that he first wrote a review on Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya, and then he prepared a fatwa of disbelief against the Promised Messiah as and got the seals of maulawis placed on it.) However, there is daily progress [in Qadian] and people from the east and west have arrived here, whereas Muhammad Husain has been left all alone and rejected. Most of his acquaintances have abandoned him. There was a time that he would earn up to three hundred rupees from Isha‘at-us-Sunnah. Someone should ask him about his condition now.””

Is Every Death from the Plague the Death of a Martyr?
It was mentioned that some adversaries say that the plague is not any chastisement from Allah, rather it is a martyrdom. The Promised Messiah as said:
Martyrdom is for a believer who has already sacrificed his self in the way of God Almighty. His death is martyrdom in every condition. But to make this general rule that every person who dies from the plague is a martyr then are all the base, the mean, the Hindus, the Aryas, the Christians, the atheists, the idolaters who are dying of the plague in their thousands, are they all attaining the status of martyrdom? Sayyid ‘Abdul-Muhyi the Arab had said to Maulawi Sanaullah that Rusul Baba of Amritsar died of the chastisement of the plague; to it Sanaullah replied that he died the death of a martyr. The Arab gentleman said, ‘Very well then, I pray that God grant you this type of death of martyrdom.’
Thus death by plague does not mean martyrdom in itself. The status of martyrdom is for those believers who have dedicated their lives for God Almighty during their lifetime. The
punishment of the plague afflicted the opponents of Hadrat Musa [Moses] also in his time, and then after Hadrat ‘Isa [ Jesus], this punishment befell his opponents, too, and even now God Almighty has sent down this punishment as a Sign.

“””Miraculous Qasidah
The Qasidah [Ode] of the Late Qadi Zafar-ud-Din was mentioned that he had composed to compete with the Qasidah of the Promised Messiah as and God did not grant him enough respite to publish it. It is now being published by Sanaullah. The Promised Messiah as said:
The one that composed the Qasidah reached his end due to his evil deeds and departed this world. He could not even publish his Qasidah during his life. Sanaullah does not even possess the capability to make corrections to it.”””

Maulvi Sanaullah seems to have been challenging Ahmadi’s to a debate,
Ahmadi.answers.com quotes the AhleHadees newspaper as saying:
“”””Mirza’is! If you are truthful then come; and bring your people with you. The same Eid-Gah is ready where you did a mubahala with Sufi Abdul Haq Ghaznavi and were faced with heavenly disgrace And bring the man who has invited me for a Mubahalah in his book Anjam-e-Atham”””” (Ahl-e-Hadith, 29 March 1907 Page 10).

“””“I give the good news to Maulvi Sanaullah that Mirza Sahib has accepted his challenge of Mubahalah. Undoubtedly(you) swear that this man (i.e Mirza Sahib) is false in his claim and then openly state that if I am false in this claim then “May the curse of Allah be upon those who lie”. The verse of the Holy Qur’an upon which the foundation of Mubahalah is set only states that both parties should say, “May the curse of Allah be upon those who lie”””” (Badr, 14 April 1907).
1907–April 15th
MGA publishes his famous announcement vs. Sanaullah, entitled, “The Final Judgement with Sanaullah”. In this announcement MGA prays to his God that he should die within the lifetime of Sanaulah, if he (MGA) is indeed a liar and a false prophet.

“”“I did not invite you to a Mubahalah, I only expressed my intent to make a sworn statement. However, you call this a Mubahalah, whereas a Mubahalah is when both parties swear against each other. I have only agreed to take an oath not to engage in a Mubahalah. A sworn statement is something else and a Mubahalah is something else”””(Ahl-e-Hadith 19 April 1907).

The Greatest Miracle of All is the Acceptance of Prayer
The Promised Messiah as said:
These are the wonders of the time. I go to sleep at night without any thought and an ilham [revelation] is unexpectedly received and then it is fulfilled at its appointed time. Not a week or ten days pass without a Sign. Whatever has been written about Sanaullah is, in fact, not from me; rather, its foundation has been laid by God alone. Suddenly my attention was drawn to him. My attention was on him during the night and then a revelation was received at night:
اعِ اُجِيْبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّ
I accept the prayer of the supplicant.
In the view of Sufis, the greatest miracle is the acceptance of prayer, all the rest are its offshoots.”””
1907–April 26th
Maulvi Sanaullah published MGA’s prayer in his newspaper (the Ahl e Hadees) to God that he should die within the lifetime of Maulvi Sanaullah if he (MGA) is indeed a false prophet. He also wrote:

Your letter reached the Promised Messiah, upon whom be prayers and peace, on 3 June 1907, in which, with reference to Akhbar Badr of 4 April 1907, you have requested a copy of the book Haqiqatul Wahi. Its response is as follows: The intention of sending you the book was so long as you would read it before the Mubahilah […] By refusing this Mubahilah you found a way to escape from punishment. But now Divine Fate has caught you another way – Hazrat Hujjat Allah (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) has made a dua against you, and so has chosen another way of reaching a verdict. This way, all the conditions that applied to the mubahilah are no longer agreed to as the mubahilah has been cancelled.Therefore the need to send you the book no longer remains […]

1907—August
Badr, 22 August 1907
An article was published in Sanaullah’s Ahl-i Hadis magazine in response to an article in Badr. The writer of the article in Badr wrote a counter-response. At one point he writes:
After the next two lines, in which he calls me “Mirzai” and other names, he has written the following lie: “The Mirzai now says that Mirza Sahib has done mubahilah with Maulvi Sanaullah Amritsari that ‘He shall die in my lifetime; surely he shall die.’” I have never mentioned mubahilah, because Maulvi Sanaullah has never come in front of His Holiness for mubahilah, and he will never have the courage to do so. For the liar can never, ever, compete with the truthful one. Again and again he has been called for mubahalah, but he refused, because that is his tactic – he always finds a way to escape. Finally Divine Fate has caught him from a different route – His Holiness the Promised Messiah, upon whom be prayers and peace, has issued an announcement entitled “Final Verdict with Maulvi Sanaullah” in which solely through dua he has sought the verdict from God, and not through mubahalah. Poor Maulvi Sanaullah, with what courage can he compete in dua with the Glorious Lord’s champion?
Aur main khuda se dua karta houn kay aey meray maalik baseer-o-qadeer jo aleem-o-khabeer hai jo meray dil ke halaat se waqaf hai agar yeh dawa maseeh maud honay ka mehz meray nafs ka iftara hai aur main teri nazar me mufsad aur kazzaab houn aur din raat iftara karna mera kaam hai to aey meray pyaaray maalik main aajzi se teri janaab me dua karta houn ke molvi Sanaullah Sahib ki zindagi me mujhay halaak kar aur meri maut se un ko aur un ki jamaat ko khush kar de.
And I pray to God that O my Master Baseer and Qadeer Who is Aleem and Khabeer and Who is Aware of the condition of my heart. If this claim of being Maseeh Maud is from my own nafs (mind) and if I am corrupt and a liar in Your Eyes and if i forge lies against You day and night then O my Beloved Master I humbly pray to You that destroy me in the lifetime of Molvi Sanaullah Sahib and make my death a source of happiness for him and his Jamaat.
To remind Ahmadis, as per the prayer of Mirza, the liar was supposed to die within the life of the truthful and the punishment was supposed to be from God, in form of Cholera of plague. Sanaullah did not die during Mirza’s life and did not die from a disease. It was Mirza who died first and who was suffering from Cholera on his deathbed, thus proven a liar by divine judgement.

The manager of the Review [of Religions] stopped this exchange considering that the Ahl-e-Hadith is delivered in other offices here and did not think it necessary to continue the exchange with it and had discontinued its subscription.
Therefore, Maulawi Sanaullah wrote a card addressed to the Promised Messiah as asking if this decision had been approved by the Promised Messiah as. The Promised Messiah as inquired:
Why has the exchange been discontinued?
And then said:
The advantage in continuing the exchange is that the argument will continue to be completed upon Maulawi Sahib, and possibly a servant of God in his office may benefit by reading it”””.

On Nov-10-1907, MGA and his team of writers published an announcement in the Al-Hakam and Al-Badr of Nov-10-1907 (See the scans in the below)(Via Majmua Ishtiharat, V-3, pages 461-467). Bro Imtiaz explained it in full detail herein (1:19:40). This announcement is about Maulvi Sanaullah, the death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad, Abdul Hakim Patialvi and a new promised son (Musleh Maud?).
In this announcement, MGA says that people are showing happiness at the death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad. MGA says that people are saying that the death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad is a sign that MGA lost a Mubahila (with Abdul Hakim Patialvi and Maulvi Sanaullah). MGA and his team of writers tell a bold face lie and allege that MGA has tried to make the children of his opponents as signs of truth (1:22:09). However, this is a lie, in Jan-1907, a Muslim opponent of MGA named Saadullah died and MGA had prophecied that he not have children. In 1906-1907, via “Haqiqatul Wahi”, MGA mentions Abdul-Haqq Ghaznavi 6 times (see pages 306-307). MGA specifically under sign #92, and sign #159 (page 444). MGA alleges that Maulawi Abdul Haqq Ghaznavi had no children and thus lost the Mubahila (see page 445). MGA alleged that Maulawi Abdul Haqq Ghaznavi‘s brother died and he married the widow and she is now pregnant. MGA argues that in contrast, he was given 4 sons and hundreds of thousands of rupees (page 551).
Also in this announcement, MGA alleges that he knew 2-3 years ago (1904-1905 era)(Kayn Burse) that Mirza Mubarak Ahmad would die young (1:25:09). MGA then alleges that he has already announced that this child would not survive. MGA also alleges that when his God told him that Mirza Mubarak Ahmad would die, MGA’s God also said that those will be bitter days in his life (like sad and shameful)(1:26:18). MGA alleges, besides these, there were many additional revelations which were explicit/clear/open about the impending death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad. MGA alleges that many years ago he predicted the death of Mirza Mubarak Ahmad in newspapers like Al-Badr and Al-Hakam. These prophecies were clear and without a shadow of doubt that Mirza Mubarak Ahmad would not reach the age of adulthood and would die as a minor (it was destined, muqarram).
Also in this announcement, MGA alleges (via Bro Imtiaz, 2:31:52) that when Mirza Mubarak Ahmad died (9-16-1907), MGA’s god sent him another fresh revelation about a boy who will be just like Mirza Mubarak Ahmad, a replica. This was because MGA’s God didn’t want his enemies to be happy, and it will be as-if Mirza Mubarak Ahmad never died. However, MGA died himself about 8 months later. MGA then says that his God will make his children a very powerful people (2:39:10).
Also in this announcement, MGA mentions the prophecy vs. Dr. Abdul-Hakim Khan (from Patiala)(via Bro Imtiaz, 2:42:29) and how it started in July 1907 and was for 14 months (scheduled to end in Sep-1908). MGA says that his life will be prolonged, and he will win (see the “Age Prophecy“). MGA told Ahmadi’s to memorize and print this announcement (2:49:37) and post it on their walls. MGA also says that he knows the deaths of his close relatives (bahot qareeb mutalaqeen 2:52:34) is nearing.

Rather, in some other newspapers, this incident has been shown with a lot of force, and it has been painted as if it proves that one of them is victorious in the fight. We do not want to write more in this place because God Almighty is sufficient to punish falsehood.
It should be clear that I have not entered into such a relationship with anyone that would make the children of another party false in such a way that if the son of that party dies, he will remain a liar, but I always want him to be the same. The person whose sin is destroyed. He who has slandered God or the righteous.””

It seems that the District Magistrate (of Lahore) asked for money from Maulvi Sanaullah’s as a result of an article in the “Ahl-e-Hadis” magazine of Oct-31, 1913. This seems to be a response to the Qadiani article on the birth of Eisa (As). The grossly obscene Qadiani article appeared in the Al-Badr of Oct-30-1913. Maulvi Sanaullah and his team from his “Ahl-e-Hadis” magazine was forced to pay money as a form of a security. The Al-Badr was also forced to pay 3000 rupees as penalty. Reverend Mr. Howell seems to have also been part of this and he was warned by District Magistrate (of Lahore) and the Bishop of Lahore. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was mentioned too and let off with a warning.

In a 3-day conference held in Qadian on April 1-3, 1924, by non-Ahmadis, Maulavi Sanaullah boasted about his challenge and his books and claimed that no one had written a rebuttal (See Hidden Treasures). Jalal-ud-Din Shams when writing the introduction of Hudur’s book says: I came to know in December 1923 about the existence of this book, and when I came to Qadian I inquired whether anyone had received a copy of this book. As no one knew about it, I had to trace this book and wrote a strong rebuttal that appeared in the issue of April 1924 of the Review of Religions. Qadi Muhammed Zahooruddin Akmal, the editor of Review of Religions, in an introductory remarks to the rebuttal, said that he received the manuscript on January 31, 1924.

The Lahori -Ahamdi’s would often send Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi, while that local organisation would also have obtained the services of Maulana Sanaullah. So Maulana Sanaullah was on the same platform and in the same team representing Muslims with a well known Lahori Ahmadi scholar (who had taken the bai`at at the hands of the Promised Messiah in 1907)! As an example, we have a booklet entitled Munazira, published by the Anjuman Nusrat-ul-Islam of Hyderabad, Sind (an orthodox Muslim body), being the account of a debate between the Arya Samaj and Muslim representatives in January 1929.
Here is the link. (Opens in new window)
On the first day, Maulana Sanaullah appeared against a Pandit (see p. 14). On the second day, Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi appeared against another pandit (see p. 24). The speeches of all the representatives are reproduced.
Once Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi published a challenge addressing Sanaullah and saying: You said in a gathering in my presence: “I (Sanaullah) have made a lot of money by opposing Mirza”. Can you deny saying this?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1930’s
Maulvi Sanaullah had many public debates with an Ahmadi-Mullah named Maulana Abul ‘Ata Jallundhari. Maulana Abul ‘Ata Jallundhari was born in district Jallundhar in 1904. At the age of eleven his father brought him to Qadian for studies, where he completed his Honours in Arabic with distinction. For five years he served as the Missionary In-charge for Palestine, and acquired great proficiency in Arabic. He started al-Bushra magazine in 1933 and also started the magazine al- Furqan. He wrote numerous books in Urdu and Arabic. He served as the Principal of Jami‘ah Ahmadiyyah and Jami‘atul- Mubashshirin from 1944 to 1958. He was also one of the members of the delegations of the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jama‘at in 1953 and 1974 to the Government of Pakistan. He also served as a member of the Ifta’ [Jurisprudence] Committee for many years until his death. He is one of the three members of the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jama‘at who have been given the title, “Khalid-e-Ahmadiyyat” by Hadrat Musleh-e-Mau‘udra.(See Nubuwwat and Khilafat, 1966).

In the ROR of March-1943, Sayyid Zayn al ‘Abidin Waliullah Shah explains how he freely moved into and outside of the house of MGA (1904-1907 era). He remembers when the plague hit Qadian and how MGA would use different chemicals to clear his house and the boarding house where all the students slept. He recalls how his father (Dr. Abdul Sattar Shah) asked MGA if he could visit a town that has already been hit with plague (in 1905) and MGA refused and cited the famous hadith wherein Muhammad (Saw) clearly said to never a visit a place where plague was raging. Sayyid Zayn al ‘Abidin Waliullah Shah alleges that the plague at Qadian only hit the Non-Ahmadi homes and Hindu’s (this is a lie, the editor of the Al-Badr Muhammad Afazl, died of plague). Sayyid Zayn al ‘Abidin Waliullah Shah then alleges that his parents had came to Qadian and were given a room in MGA’s house (the room is used in 1943 by a wife of the 2nd Khalifa). He alleges that the next door neighbor was a non-Ahmadi and someone died of plague in their house, which was only separated by MGA’s house by a wall. He also alleges that MGA gave a short speech. He mentions MGA’s beef with Maulvi Sanaullah, as well the famous Ahmadi apostate Dr. Abdul Hakim Khan.

“In August 1947, Amritsar was the scene of a mini-doomsday. The death-afflicting storm of rioting completely enfolded the residence of Maulana, and even though he succeeded in evacuating himself and his family out into safety, his only youthful son Ataullah was cruelly slaughtered under his very eyes and the horror of that grief minced his heart into pieces.” (Al Aitzan June, 15 1962 page 10).
And also:
Maulvi Abdul Majid Sohdarvi, biographer of Maulvi Sanaullah, writes: “The moment he left his house, vagabonds and looters who were waiting for the opportunity swept in and took everything, including all the household items, cash and jewelry. After looting and robbing, they put the house on fire. That was, however, not the end of it; the looters also put on fire and turned to ashes Maulana’s most precious and valuable collection of books which included some very rare publications worth thousands of rupees and which he had brought together after great pains and expense. The loss of these books was no less distressing to Maulana than the loss of his only son. Those books were the most valuable estate of his life and some of them were so rare that it was not only difficult but impossible to replace them” … “This violent grief remained with Maulana until his death and, in fact, these two tragic incidents were the major cause of his sudden death. The sudden loss of his only son and the burning of his most precious collection of books, and the affliction of both of these misfortunes over a short while claimed his life (Seerati Sanai, Maqbool Aam Press, Lahore).
The ROR of May-1947 mentions Maulvi Sanaullah.

Additional data
Sanaullah Amritsari r.a. was a notable Muslim Scholar and a contemporary of Mirza Ghulam Qadiani. He was a man with a high quality religious knowledge and God gifted debate talents. He gave a very tough time to Mirza Ghulam Qadiani with regard to his lies and false claims. He kept on chasing him till Qadiani’s death.
In the riotings of 1947, at partition of India, his son Ataullah was martyred and his library containing hundreds of valuable books was destroyed by the Sikhs. He migrated to Gujranwala Punjab Pakistan and then moved to Sargodha where he got a printing press on claim for his electric printing press at Amritsar. He returned to his real creator and moved to his eternal abode on 15 March, 1948. He was buried at Sargodha Pakistan.
Although Tareekh e Ahmadiyya describes this a success as usual for Qadianis, yet he mentions the concern of Mirza for giving only 20 Minutes to Qadiani side. On return to Qadian after debate Molvi Sarwar was given a lecture by Mirza who listed points on how to debate. It is also mentioned by DM Shahid that the written papers of debate were with Shaikh Yaqub Ali Turab who misplaced it somewhere and hence these could not be published.
Death of Athem and Lekhram.
Sanaullah Amritsari challenged Mirza Qadiani if he could prove his arguments wrong he would give him a cash prize of Rs. 500/-. However, he increased the cash prize to Rs.1000/- in the second edition of the booklet, when Mirza did not respond months after publication of first edition.
In November, 1902 Mirza Qadiani published his book Ijaz e Ahmadi. At pages 11-12 of this book Ijaz e Ahmadi (RK-19 pages 117 onward,), using a very derogatory language, Mirza challenged Snaullah Amritsari, if he is truthful he may come to Qadian and prove his ilham wrong. He will give Amritsari a cash prize of Rs. 100/- for each of his Ilham, he proves wrong, in addition to the two way trip fair, Mirza Qadiani also prophesied that Sanaullah will never ever come to Qadian. This prophesy has miserably failed when Sanaullah Amritsari reached Qadian.
Molvi Sanaullah and Muhammad Hussain Batalvi both are of dishonest profession and are under deception to present contradictory ahadiths. They are like jews within Islam. There are some books which they quote reference from, but even their fathers have never been able to have a look at these books.
On January 1, 1903 Sanaullah Amritsari r.a. arrived in Qadian. His arrival in Qadian took Mirza by surprise. He did not come out of his home by saying that he has promised god that he will not debate with these Molvis. Sanullah sent a letter through a special messenger to Mirza saying that he has come to Qadian on his invitation in Ijaz e Ahmadi to prove his ilham wrong. So as promised you would give me the opportunity to express my views about your ilham in the public gathering.
However, Mirza did not accept this reasonable and humble suggestion and wrote to him through Ahsan Amrohi that he can not accept these demands and do not also approve the suggestions of a gathering of wise people of Qadian.
Finding no way to talk to Mirza Sanaullah sahib returns from Qadian and publish a pamphlet titles as Fateh saying that Mirza sahib himself invited him for the challenge and then he avoided to talk to him on the pretext of his Ilham not to talk.
Friends: This whole episode reflects the deception, lies, cheating and breach of commitment on the part of Mirza Ghulam Qadiani. One way he challenges the opponent, then predicts that he would not come to accept my challenge, but when the opponent reaches his doorstep he avoided to face him on one pretext or the other. This proved that his tall claims of spirituality and morality and claims of Mahdi Messiah and Ilham were fake fabricated and based on fraud and forgery.
This article is based on books Ijaz e Ahmadi pages 11-12 onward (RK 19 pages 117) by Mirza Ghulam Qadiani, Tareekh e Ahmadiyya vol 3 pages 281 onward by DM Shahid, and Ilhamat e Mirza by Molana Sanaullah Amritsari.
