Intro
In 1947, the Pakistan government asked the 2nd Khalifa, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad to create a government for Azad Kashmir, he immediately appointed an Ahmadi, Ghulam Nabi Gilkar, and added many Ahmadi’s to his staff like Khwaja Abdul Ghaffar Dar and many others. An Ahmadi become’s the first ever Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir. The Furqan Force (a military of Qadiani’s) is trying to defend Pakisan, the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa authorizes “Offensive Jihad” and totally contradicts MGA, a military regiment (The Furqan Force) of Qadiani’s only begin shooting at Indian soldiers in Azad Kasmir. 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 the history of Ahmadiyya, the Khalifa never seems to have visited the Azad Kashmir area officially. Raja Rahmatullah Khan (jagirdar) of Gouri, which is close to Muzzafarabad, Azad Kashmir, and is close to the border with Pakistan, seems to the earliest Ahmadi in modern day Azad Kashmir. Raja Rahmatullah Khan was given a jagir that was worth 100,000 rupees in those days, which is lots of money. He was also in full co-operation with the evil Dogra rulers. Raja Rahmatullah Khan was also an early Kashmiri-Ahmadi. Raja Rahmatullah Khan eventually quit Ahmadiyya (See at the 44:40 mark). Maulana Mahboob Alam seems to be the first missionary who was sent to Kotli, Azad Kashmir by the Ahmadiyya jamaat, most likely in 1904, he had joined Ahmadiyya in 1897, and was thus a companion of MGA, his age in this era is unknown. Ahmadiyya sources tell us that he was able to start lots of Ahmadiyya jamaats in Mirpur and Poonch, ahmadiyya sources claim that he was able to get people to convert to Ahmadiyya from villages like timenkot, Charnali village, Arabari village, there was a certain Ahmadi, Haji Ameer Alam who became the President of all the Ahmadiyya jamaat’s in Azad Kashmir for a long time, he was friends with Maulana Mahboob Alam, he was made an Ahmadi and he donated a masjid (location unknown). In roughly 1910–1913, Maulana Mahboob Alam had already spent at least 5-7 years in the Kotli area getting converts, it is thought that he was sent to Kotli around 1904 by MGA. Nevertheless, by 1910, he was asking to abruptly move to Gujrat and wrote a letter to the Khalifa (Noorudin) wherein he asked for permission, the Khalifa refused, in the meantime, he found a Muslim by the name of Chaudhry Allah Ditta, who seems to have begged Maulana Mahboob Alam to stay and to teach his children the Quran, per Ahmadiyya sources at least. Nevertheless, Chaudhry Allah Ditta had allowed this Maulana Mahboob Alam to stay in a house of his, however, he had sold the land and the Ahmadi imam that he would have to leave soon. Maulana Mahboob Alam flatly refused. Chaudhry Allah Ditta totally went missing after that, this appears to be a murder by the Ahmadi imam. Early on during the Khilafat of Mirza Basheer-ud-din Mahmud Ahmad (started in March of 1914), he asked to leave Azad Kashmir, but even this time the Khalifa refused. After this refusal, he never asked again and thus remained in the Kotli district for the rest of his life. In 1933, he was allowed to visit Qadian during the Jalsa (most likely December) and on his way back, he stopped at his home village in Gujrat. Remember, Maulana Mahboob Alam claimed to receive divine revelations, just like MGA’s “ummati-nabuwwat”, however, it was on a much smaller scale, there is a famous story of how he was revealed Quranic verses. Nevertheless, the story of his death contains one such Quranic verse. He died on January 4th, 1934, in Gujrat and was buried there.
The Ex-Ahmadi in this video claims that his ancestors and him were from Sodhan Gali, Azad Kashmir. It can be found here on google maps. He estimates that in the Kotli District, there are about 1,200 Ahmadi’s. In this video, this ex-ahmadi explains the origins of Ahmadiyya in Azad Kashmir, he claims that there is 1000 Ahmadi’s in and around Kotli. He also claims that there are Ahmadi’s in Goi, Azad Kashmir, about 300-400. Which seems to be a small village about 10-20 miles northeast of Kotli. It is up in the mountains and the border of India is just a few miles away. In 2020, the Ahmadi’s of Goi, Azad Kashmir seem to have blocked access to a Sunni Mosque, which had been illegally occupied by Ahmadi’s.
In 1973, the Ahmadiyya Jamaat published a book which was a breakdown of history of Ahmadiyya in Jammu and Kashmir (and Azad Kashmir). In that book the Ahmadi editors wrote that there were 81,000 Ahmadi’s in Kashmir and Azad Kashmir. There are Ahmadi’s in the village of Barali as well. A notable Ahmadi company in this area is the Aamer Brothers. that is of Bhabhra Heelan, a village in District Kotli, they tried to build a mosque in 2008 and faced lots of opposition.There are Ahmadi’s in the village of Barali as well. A notable Ahmadi company in this area is the Aamer Brothers. Next door in Kashmir, the Ahmadiyya movement has about 10 places of worship in 4-6 villages and one main mosque in Srinagar.

The ROR of Feb-1941 tells the world that the Ahmadiyya Community has acquired land from the British government in Srinagar, Kashmir, British India for the purposes of building an ahmadiyya mosque, this would eventually be the famous Ahmadiyya mosque in Srinagar. The price is not given, it seems to be for free. Land in Poonch (modern day Azad Kashmir area) has also been acquired.

Check out the famous hot water springs in “Tatta Pani” too. A correspondent of the KTV reports that there are additional Qadiani temples wherein the minarets and mehrab are still standing (Goi is mentioned specifically). They are also reporting that Qadiani’s have written the Kalima on their gravestones, which will need to be removed.
