Intro
Mirza Mansoor Ahmad was born on March 13, 1911 at Qadian to Mirza Sharif Ahmad and His wife Bu Zainab bibi. They announced the nikah in 1906, however, the girl didn’t enter the house of Mirza Bashir Ahmad until 1909, the same time his sister, Mubarika Begum left Qadian for Malerkotla. Mirza Sharif Ahmad was barely 16 years old when he got married, his wife’s age is unknown.
Not much is known about Mirza Mansoor Ahmad’s early life. He got married in 1934 to Nasira Begum (born in 1911 and died in August of 2011), who was the eldest daughter of Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad, she was also born in 1911.
From at least 1981 to 1997, he seemed to be in-charge (The Amir of the Jamaat-i-Ahmadiya, in Urdu as Nazir-e-Ala, a position which he held for a long time), of the entire country of Pakistan. In 1996, he led the funeral prayers of Dr. Abdus Salam. He seems to have died in 1997 at age 86, his son Mirza Masroor Ahmad is made as the new Nazir-e-Ala, a position he would hold until he became Khalifa in 2003.

The first people to migrate from Qadian to Lahore left on 25 August 1947. Most of the female members of MGA’s family were part of this group including his widow Nusrat Jehan. The car at the head of the convoy was a blue Dodge wagon which belonged to Mirza Mansoor Ahmad (See “Wings of Duty A Memoir” by Syed Muhammad Ahmad, 2023). Mirza Mansoor Ahmad’s wife and infant child, Mirza Maghfoor Ahmad (he was only 3 days old) were also mentioned.

He seems to have been touring Europe with his cousins. Looks a lot like Colonge’s Cathedral in Germany! Also looks like ‘Strasbourg Cathedral’. Straßburger Münster.
A memorable picture from my father’s collection. Left to right: late Mirza Khurshid Ahmad, late Sahibzada Mirza Mansoor Ahmad and late Maulana Sultan Mahmood Anwar.
