Intro
The very first ‘White convert” to Ahmadiyya was Alexander Russell Webb, who converted to Ahmadiyya in roughly 1889 (per his own admission) and quit by 1891 and refused to meet MGA in India in 1892. In the 1890’s, one of Webb’s friends and interlocutor was Abdullah Quilliam (who seems to have been a Lahori-Ahmadi after 1914). Other early converts were Charles Sievwright, Anthony George Baker, F.L. Andersen and Professor Clement Lindley Wragge (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975). Technically, out of these few names, only Charles Sievwright was the most vocal. A few were totally faked, like Baker, Andersen, and Wragge.

In 1924, Charles Sievwright was mentioned by John Bertrum Clarke (an occultist) and rapist/murderer (In The Los Angeles Evening Post-Record of 18 Jul 1924, Fri Page 1), as he responds to the allegations against him and in his own defense. He claims that he knows a Secret Ahmadi (described as a Muhammadan) named Mr. Sievewright who works at a creamery in the L.A. area. However,  Sievewright also represents “The Moslem Sunrise” magazine and has inside connections with Mufti Muhammad Sadiq (written as Dr. Sadiq) and can get him Indian girls with dark eyes (+jewels and servants) and a harem of women in India. Thus, why would he be raping/killing/marrying women in the US.

During WW-1 (1914-1919), Mufti Muhammad Sadiq kept lying about converts. The ROR of June-1917 reports that the Ahmadiyya Movement has secured a location for its propaganda, it is at No. 4, Star Street, Edgware Road, London, W.2. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq led the Eid prayer. This is very close to Hyde Park. Sayyal was mentioned as the pioneer Ahmadiyya missionary. It also reports that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq has just arrived in the UK and has converted 6 people to Ahmadiyya, of which 2 of their names are Mr. Sparrow and Mr. Bird, this is in reference to MGA’s revelation that people in the UK will accept Ahmadiyya like birds [Izala-e-Auham, pp. 515–516, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 3, p. 377]. In 1919, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq had secret sex with his house maid Ethel Bassett, then fled the country and never returned. Khalid Sheldrake got published in the ROR of 1912 and allegedly converted to Ahmadiyya in 1921 (See the Al Fazl, of 28 March 1921 and Sir TW Arnold, who is the author of the famous book, The Preaching of Islam). Then, he allegedly broke away from Ahmadiyya in 1930 and created the WIA. A few years later, he became an open political agent of the British in Western China with the Ughurs Muslim.

In America, in the 1920’s, Ella May Garber was another fake convert (also known as Mrs EM Garber, or Siddiqatun Nisa Rahatullah)(She translated a letter for the Mufti in the July-1921 edition of the Moslem Sunrise, see page 7). She is mentioned again in the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1921, she is alleged to be giving lectures in NY. She totally disappeared soon thereafter. J.L. Mott also allegedly converted in this era and was New Orleans, he disappeared after 1927.

In 1923, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq 2nd or 3rd wife was in the USA, Edith Hoffman, whom he left and fled to India after arrest warrants were issued, since Edith was already married to another man. This was what forced him to flee America, in Sep-1923, he returned to Qadian.

In 1924, Charles Sievwright is mentioned by John Bertrum Clarke (an occultist) and rapist/murderer (In The Los Angeles Evening Post-Record of 18 Jul 1924, Fri Page 1), as he responds to the allegations against him and in his own defense. He claims that he knows a Secret Ahmadi (described as a Muhammadan) named Mr. Sievewright who works at a creamery in the L.A. area. However, Sievewright also represents “The Moslem Sunrise” magazine and has inside connections with Mufti Muhammad Sadiq (written as Dr. Sadiq) and can get him Indian girls with dark eyes (+jewels and servants) and a harem of women in India. Thus, why would he be raping/killing/marrying women in the USA?

In 1926, Mary Caroline Holmes wrote in the Muslim World about the failures of Ahmadiyya in America. Mary Caroline Holmes alleges that only negroes have converted to Ahmadiyya, 900 of them and that the newspaper “The Moslem Sunrise” has ceased to exist. She says that Mohammad Yusuf Khan is working as the “Missionary-in-Charge”. She claims that a few negroes are converting to Islam as a result of their persecution by whites in America. Mary Caroline Holmes mentions the famous “Highland Park Mosque” and how Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was the reason why it failed, since he poisoned the Muslims of Highland Park and Detroit with Qadiani beliefs, which were the polar opposite of Islam. She mentions how Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was run out of Highland Park and how he moved back to Chicago and had lots of money and bought a house which he made into “Al-Masjid”. She curiously mentions how the adhan is not recited by a man, the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s in 1926 were using a phonograph for the adhan.

In 1930, Mr. Omar Cleveland is converted to Ahmadiyya via Sufi Bengalee. He is a white man and never gave a photo, he disappeared after 1944. In the Moslem Sunrise of Dec-1930 (page 23), the famous Achmed Abdullah is mentioned as a contributor, however not as an Ahmadi. Mrs. Augusta Atkins is another, she was in the USA, allegedly from California. She was mentioned as a donor for the Moslem Sunrise, in the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1931/Jan-1932, the Moslem Sunrise of Apr-July-1932 and the Moslem Sunrise of Apr/July-1933 (published in Oct-1933). She never appeared in any Ahmadiyya history thereafter. Even Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali had never met her and only posted her photo. Interestingly, Hoffert (Andrew T. Hoffert, “The Moslem Movement in America,” The Moslem World, 20 (1930): 309) tells us that Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman came to the USA to specifically work with the whites and get them to convert to Ahmadiyya. Hoffert claims that there was only 12 white Ahmadi’s in Chicago and 80-90 across the USA (all lies). Hoffert also mentions Mr. G.A. Zandra in Hollywood, California. Mr. Omar Cleveland is another, he disappeared after 1944, he seems to have worked out of Chicago and closely with Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali at the famous Chicago Temple/Mosque on Wabash Ave.

In the 1930’s, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s claim to have converted (by Maulvi Sadr ud Din) Austrian Baron Umar Ehrenfels to their version of Ahmadiyya, he hung out with them in Germany at their famous Wilmersdorfer Mosque aka The Berlin Mosque. He seems to have became a Sufi Muslim soon thereafter, nevertheless, he was friendly with Lahori-Ahmadi’s his whole life. In 1946, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s helped his wife get a visa. He is also mentioned in “Islam in Interwar Europe” by Clayer and Germain, it is also on the Ahmadiyyafactcheckblog). Clayer and Germain also explained how he was fast friends with a Lahori-Ahmadi imam of the Berlin Lahori-Ahmadi Mosque named Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah (also called Professor S.M. Abdullah) in the 1930’s. Another convert is Hugo Marcus.

Also in the 1925-1935 era, Miss Budd from Holland converted to Ahmadiyya, (her name appears in the ROR of June and Sep-1925) in the June edition they claim that she is a convert to Ahmadiyya and was given the Muslim name Hidayt. By Nov-1925, her essay’s begin to appear and more so in the March-1926, April, June and August 1926. In 1929, it seems that she showed up at Colombo, Sri Lanka and was brought to Qadian by Mufti Muhammad Sadiq via a special mission. Her name was changed to Hidayt Budd. She was most likely a prostitute that was bought and shared with the Khalifa at Qadian. Hafiz Qudratullah (1917-1994) was a missionary of the Ahmadiyya Movement and he explains how he saw her at Qadian in his youth. Hafiz Qudratullah (1917-1994 remembers seeing Hidayt Budd at Mufti Muhammad Sadiq’s house in Qadian (most likely in the 1920’s and 30’s). The english ROR posted her picture in the May-1929 edition of the ROR, she seems to have been single at the time. In the August-1929 edition of the ROR, it is explained how Hidayt Budd arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka on May 10th, 1929. Ahmadiyya sources tell how she was part of the Ceylon Ahmadiyya Association and gave speeches and etc. However, they don’t tell us how she got to Sri Lanka. There seems to be a photo of her in the famous “Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around the World”. In the September-1929 edition of the ROR, there is a letter of welcome from the local Lajna of Qadian. They appreciate her as the first Dutch person to join Ahmadiyya. In fact, it was Mufti Muhammad Sadiq who was sent by the Khalifa to pick her up from Colombo, Sri Lanka (see her letter published in the ROR of September-1929), they must have had some type of connection, he married her soon thereafter. She also reports that some of the Indonesian students at the Ahmadiyya Madrassa had written in Dutch on the wall so as to get her attention (men in indonesia spoke Dutch in those days). In the July-1930 edition, her name was changed to Mrs. Hidayt Sadiq, which proves her marriage to Mufti Muhammad Sadiq. An essay in the same ROR is ascribed to her, however, it was most likely written by Mufti Muhammad Sadiq and ascribed to her. She goes on to complain about the heat in India and decline of the use of Burqa. She has an essay in the ROR of Dec-1932 entitled, “Islam in the West”. Her name is written as Mrs. Hidayt Budd Sadiq of Amsterdam (Holland), she had already married Mufti Muhammad Sadiq. She also has an essay in the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1932/Jan-1933 as Mrs. Hidayat Sadiq, entitled, “Short Sketches from Qadian”. She might have been there in 1934 when Miss Rufo was in Qadian, and when the Khalifa took lots of women down to river Beas and touched them sexually in the open river area. She disappears in Ahmadiyya literature after 1933.

In the 1940’s. Bashir Ahmad Orchard converted to Ahmadiyya and became a Maulvi and thus became the first ever English-Ahmadi-missionary. His brother was a Roman Catholic priest. But to the astonishment of his fellow officers, he began to take instruction in Ahmadiyya. For Bashir Orchard, after the war, there were no prospects, things were bad and rationing of the basic food, Britain was devastated by the German bombing and overall war effort, there was rubble everywhere, things were not looking good for him. Joining Ahmadiyya was a good situation, where he got a super-young desi- woman, employment and comfy life. He was sent off as a missionary by the 2nd Khalifa (he worked mostly out of the carribbean), however, he didn’t pass Jamia or any other Islamic school, the Khalifa waived all of that and made Bashir Ahmad Orchard a Murrabi nevertheless. He was given an important young Ahmadi woman, in fact, Orchard became a brother-in-law of the Khalifa since he married the only sibling of the Khalifa’s first wife. Abdus-Shakoor Kunze is another, who became the first German-Ahmadi Imam, he was previously a Nazi tank captain in the late 1940’s and early 1950‘s. Whites would remain only a small percentage of the us community even after 1955 when the white German convert, Abdul Shakoor Kunze, was made the official missionary for the Chicago branch (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975).

In 1943, a white woman with the Islam name of Nadirah Usman began working on behalf of the Lahori-Ahmadi’s in NY, USA (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975). In April of 1947, Via the Lahori-Ahmadi newspaper, “The Light” (See page 2), (Mrs.) Nadira Usman, has an essay entitled, “The ‘Light’ in New York,”.

Born in Union County, New Jersey in 1895, Nadirah embraced Islam in 1926, apparently through the influence of her one-time husband, an Egyptian of a mixed Arab and Turkish background.8 Nadirah—who saw her choosing Islam as “a continuation and logical development” of the beliefs of her English, French, German, and Dutch ancestors—was proud to affiliate with different races through a shared belief. She must have been elated, then, to discover the emphasis on unity and equality prevalent in Ahmadi literature, which she had acquired by 1931 while living in Turkey. Armed with a strong faith in the truth of Islam, even after divorcing her husband, Nadirah was committed to promoting her religion, and in 1939 and 1940 had several essays published in Woking’s Lahori-influenced Islamic Review magazine. (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975). Interestingly, Nadirah’s November 1943 meeting was not the first time a ‘Webb Memorial’ project was being discussed in the network of white Muslims in wartime America.

Nadira also seems to have written letters to Wali Akram in 1943. She is mentioned 39 times in Bowen.

In April of 1947, Via the Lahori-Ahmadi newspaper, “The Light” (See page 2), (Mrs.) Nadira Usman, “The ‘Light’ in New York,”, Bowen infers that she is a white woman, (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975). Bowen calls her Lahori Nadira, in the Light, she seems to indicate that her child is half Egyptian.

In the 1950’s and 60’s in London, John Webster is another fake convert that they were presenting. Bowen mentions the conversion of a Jewish woman, who took the name Nusrat Bashir and had married a black man who got her to convert to Ahmadiyya (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975). In 1957-1963, According to the Bay Area’s famous Sufi, Samuel Lewis, DiCaprio’s Center was primarily made up of converts who rejected both William Lutz and the Ahmadis, although by 1964, a Lahori missionary named Muhammad Abdullah had become the group’s imam (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1893

George Baker’s earliest known connection with American Muslim converts was in August 1893 when Alexander Russell Webb, another early American convert to Islam, published a section of a work by Baker concerning the relationship between medieval Christians and Muslims in Jerusalem in his newspaper the Moslem World.[8]   According to author Patrick D. Bowen, Baker was in contact with Webb and may have ran his Oriental Publishing Company from a Philadelphia post office in 1892 and 1894.[9 He was known for his lectures on Islam in Philadelphia and may also have been secretly associated with a group of about twenty Muslim converts in the city during this period.[10] Baker’s Muslim contacts outside the United States included the English convert Abdullah Quilliam and in January 1896 he explicitly identified as a Muslim in a letter to Quilliam’s newspaper The Crescent. According to author Patrick D. Bowen, Baker was in contact with Webb and may have ran his Oriental Publishing Company from a Philadelphia post office in 1892 and 1894.[9] He was known for his lectures on Islam in Philadelphia and may also have been secretly associated with a group of about twenty Muslim converts in the city during this period.[10] Baker’s Muslim contacts outside the United States included the English convert Abdullah Quilliam and in January 1896 he explicitly identified as a Muslim in a letter to Quilliam’s newspaper The Crescent.

1904

Baker also had connections with the Ahmadiyya movement in India through the movement’s English-language journal, The Review of Religions, with which Webb had also corresponded.[8][11] His contact with the movement began in 1904 and was the result of his writings having found their way to India and coming to the attention of Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, a disciple of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.[6] Baker was among a number of European and American figures with whom Sadiq had established contact during Ghulam Ahmad’s lifetime[12]

The Feb-1912 edition of the ROR reproduces a paper by Dr. A. Geo. Baker from Philadelphia.

Khalid Sheldrake got published in the ROR of 1912 and allegedly converted to Ahmadiyya in 1921 (See the Al Fazl, of 28 March 1921 and Sir TW Arnold, who is the author of the famous book, The Preaching of Islam). Then, he allegedly broke away from Ahmadiyya in 1930 and created the WIA. A few years later, he became an open political agent of the British in Western China with the Ughurs Muslim.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
1913

In the August edition of the English ROR, the full text of a speech by Dr. Baker is published by the Ahmadiyya jamaat. At the bottom of the speech, he mentions MGA in good words, however, he never did any bait at that time.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1916

He refuses to sign bait at the hand of the new Khalifa, nor did he ever sign before (See the ROR of March-April-1916 . He writes:

“””As for the form of initiation into the Ahmadiyya Movement, I am with you heart and soul, although I can not at present sign it. There are a few obstacles in the way which may be removed later on. I am as true a Musselman as any, and read the Qur’an and traditions, and believe them and do as required.”””(See “The Ahmadiyya Mission News, America,” The Review of Religions, March 1916, 154).

1919
https://www.reviewofreligions.org/21662/review-of-religions-october-november-1919-edition/

The ROR of Oct-Nov-1919 gives a list of 23 converts to Ahmadiyya, these are all lies.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1920

Mufti Muhammad Sadiq is in America and realizes that Dr. Baker is dead, he makes him a convert to Ahmadiyya anyways (See Al-Fazl, July 22, 1920 and “Ahmadiyya Mission News, America,” The Review of Religions, July 1920, 246).

The ROR of July-1920 reports that Mr. Ahmad Anderson is an older convert to Ahmadiyya, there is also a Dr. George Baker (aka Anthony George Baker). These people are said to have already been in the USA by the time that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq arrived.

Meanwhile, in the UK, Fateh Muhammad Sial and his team gave a list of 57 converts to Ahmadiyya in the same July-1920 edition of the ROR. It also claims that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq converted 300 people to Ahmadiyya during his short stay in the UK.

The ROR of July-1920 tells the world that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq spoke to the press about Ahmadiyya in the world and reported that there were 600,000 Ahmadi’s when MGA died in 1908. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was inflating the numbers of Ahmadi’s to the press in the USA. Further, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq and other Ahmadi editors lied about white converts to Ahmadiyya from Europe and America. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq also reported that he had converted 29 people to Ahmadiyya on his ship ride from the UK to the USA.

On October, 1920, Dr. Sadiq moved the headquarters of the Ahmadiyya mission to Chicago because of its central location. He purchased a house in an affluent area of Chicago, at 4448 S. Wabash, and converted it to a mosque.

The ROR of Oct-1920 reports that Muftree Muhammad Sadiq has converted 40 American’s thus far. It also reports that Sadiq moved from New York to Chicago recently. The ROR also mentions that the Ahmadiyya Movement is working on an Arabic newspaper (most likely for the arab muslims living in Dearborn, MI.). They claim to be working with an Arab on this endeavor, Mr. Mohini, the newspaper is called the “Alserat”.

The ROR of Aug-Sep-1920 has an essay about Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, entitled, “An Anecdote of the Mufti”. The July-1920 edition talks about how a Hindu from India converted to Ahmadiyya through Muftree Muhammad Sadiq and took his name. Mufti Sadiq reported that 31+ people had already converted to Ahmadiyya in New York (a total lie). Mufti Sadiq even claims to have converted 6 people to Ahmadiyya, of which 5 were Chinese.

In the July-1920 edition of the ROR, it is reported how Sayyal is giving lectures. Maulana Nayyar and Azeez ud Din are also working with him. The ROR also reported that a family in Birmingham had converted to Ahmadiyya, however, this is a lie. They claim this is a Jewish family and even give the names as:

1–Isaac Yeti

2–Yetta Yeti

3–Eli Yetti

4–Michael Yeti

Mufti Muhammad Sadiq and the Ahmadiyya Movement lied about the conversion of Ella May Garber (also known as Mrs EM Garber, or Siddiqatun Nisa Rahatullah)(She translated a letter for the Mufti in the July-1921 edition of the Moslem Sunrise, see page 7). She is mentioned again in the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1921, she is alleged to be giving lectures in NY. She totally disappeared soon thereafter.

Khalid Sheldrake got published in the ROR of 1912 and allegedly converted to Ahmadiyya in 1921 (See the Al Fazl, of 28 March 1921 and Sir TW Arnold, who is the author of the famous book, The Preaching of Islam).

In 1926, Mary Caroline Holmes wrote in the Muslim World about the failures of Ahmadiyya in America. Mary Caroline Holmes alleges that only negroes have converted to Ahmadiyya, 900 of them and that the newspaper “The Moslem Sunrise” has ceased to exist. She says that Mohammad Yusuf Khan is working as the “Missionary-in-Charge”. She claims that a few negroes are converting to Islam as a result of their persecution by whites in America. Mary Caroline Holmes mentions the famous “Highland Park Mosque” and how Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was the reason why it failed, since he poisoned the Muslims of Highland Park and Detroit with Qadiani beliefs, which were the polar opposite of Islam. She mentions how Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was run out of Highland Park and how he moved back to Chicago and had lots of money and bought a house which he made into “Al-Masjid”. She curiously mentions how the adhan is not recited by a man, the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s in 1926 were using a phonograph for the adhan.

1930-1933
The Ahmadiyya Movement flaunted their white female converts in the 1930’s, they all quit later-Mrs. Augusta Atkinson – ahmadiyyafactcheckblog

Mrs. Augusta Atkinson was mentioned as a donor for the Moslem Sunrise, in the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1931/Jan-1932, the Moslem Sunrise of Apr-July-1932 and the Moslem Sunrise of Apr/July-1933 (published in Oct-1933). Mrs. Augusta Atkinson never appeared in any Ahmadiyya history thereafter. Even Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali had never met her and only posted her photo. Interestingly, Hoffert (Andrew T. Hoffert, “The Moslem Movement in America,” The Moslem World, 20 (1930): 309) tells us that Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman came to the USA to specifically work with the whites and get them to convert to Ahmadiyya. Hoffert claims that there was only 12 white Ahmadi’s in Chicago and 80-90 across the USA (all lies). Hoffert also mentions Mr. G.A. Zandra in Hollywood, California. Zandra totally disappeared thereafter.

In one conference held on September 1, 1935, Bengalee attempted to give a practical example of favourable race relation among his converts. He introduced a white convert, Muhammad Ahmad, and a black convert, Omar Khan. The two discussed Islamic qualities concerning race relations. Perhaps, the most conspicuous was a conference at the Chicago Temple Building, attended by speakers of various religious and racial backgrounds. The conference which was entitled, “How Can We Overcome Color and Race Prejudice?” was attended by over 2000 people.[39]

The Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1935 has an essay from a famous magician/scammer named Dr. Harlan Tarbell. In this essay, he mentions how Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali has been his neighbor for the past 7 years. This seems to be next door to the famous Ahmadiyya temple on Wabash in Chicago. He alleges to have visited the Ahmadiyya center on Sep-8 (the year is unknown, seems like 1935). He claims that a man named Abdur Rahman recited the Quran and then a female Ahmadi (sister Fatima) began talking. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali then began his speech. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali talked about his involvement in the”Conference of Religions”, during Chicago’s Second World Fair, June-Nov-1933 and how the Ahmadiyya Movement is working towards solving the issues of race in America. An African-American convert named Omar Khan spoke next, he was followed by a white Moslem, Muhammad Ahmad, his wife is also mentioned, they don’t clarify if she is an Ahmadi or not. Charles F. Weller was allegedly there too and made some strange comments about actually being a Muslim. Dr. Harlan Tarbell spoke also.

In the 1930’s, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s claim to have converted (by Maulvi Sadr ud Din) Austrian Baron Umar Ehrenfels to their version of Ahmadiyya, he hung out with them in Germany at their famous Wilmersdorfer Mosque aka The Berlin Mosque. He seems to have became a Sufi Muslim soon thereafter, nevertheless, he was friendly with Lahori-Ahmadi’s his whole life. In 1946, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s helped his wife get a visa. He is also mentioned in “Islam in Interwar Europe” by Clayer and Germain, it is also on the Ahmadiyyafactcheckblog). Clayer and Germain also explained how he was fast friends with a Lahori-Ahmadi imam of the Berlin Lahori-Ahmadi Mosque named Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah (also called Professor S.M. Abdullah) in the 1930’s. Another convert is Hugo Marcus.

Who is Nadira Fines aka Nadira Usman? A white Lahori-Ahmadi in NY in 1943? – ahmadiyyafactcheckblog

In 1943, a white woman with the Islam name of Nadirah Usman began working on behalf of the Lahori-Ahmadi’s in NY, USA (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975). In April of 1947, Via the Lahori-Ahmadi newspaper, “The Light” (See page 2), (Mrs.) Nadira Usman, has an essay entitled, “The ‘Light’ in New York,”.
