Intro
Per Ahmadiyya newspapers, the famous Hassan Musa Khan converted to Ahmadiyya in 1903 via a letter. This seems to be a lie, it was also reported in the ROR of 1922 that Hassan Musa Khan was an “honorary missionary” of the Ahmadiyya Movement. Ahmadiyya sources also claim that in 1906, Hassan Musa Khan signed up for Wasiyyat in March-1906. They also claim that his brothers were Ahmadi, named Hassan Musa Khan and Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, however, this seems to be a lie. Hassan Musa Khan helped Muslims build mosques all throughout Australia and is famous for writing historical accounts of Islam in Australia. Thus, we are sure that the Ahmadiyya Movement was lying about him and his connections with Ahmadiyya. The Ahmadiyya address of Box No. 305, G.P.O., Perth, Australia was ran in every edition of ROR of from July-1925 to Sep-1937.

It seems that Australia was not friendly to the Ahmadiyya Movement and didn’t allow them to send a missionary until the late 1970’s. The Ahmadiyya jamaat seems to have been established in 1983 (see mosques around the world). The Khalifa, Mirza Tahir Ahmad visited in 1983 and 1989. By 1989-1990, the Australian government allotted the Ahmadiyya Movement 50 asylum visa’s per year.

The 5th Khalifa visited in 2006 and 2013. By 2020, there are about 3 Ahmadiyya places of worship and a 4th planned. We thus estimate that there are roughly 1000 Ahmadi’s in all of Australia, men, women and children. They all seem to be Pakistani immigrants from the past 40 years.

Ahmadiyya Missionaries working in the country?

In 1985, Mirza Tahir Ahmad sent his employee Shakeel Ahmad Munir (1985-1991) to be the Amir and missionnary-in-charge. He is replaced in 1991 with Maulana Mahmood Ahmad, who seems to be Indonesian. Masood Ahmad Shahid and Qamar Dawood Khokar arrived in 1996 and begin working as murrabi’s. Maulana Mahmood Ahmad stayed until at least 2008. 

In 2022, we know that Inam ul Haq Kausar is working in the country, he is the Amir and missionary in-charge, he was in the USA as a murrabi for many years and seems to have been sent to Australia as a punishment for his son’s leaving Ahmadiyya (Zia ul Haq Kausar and Sunny Kausar).

1903

Badr, in its 29 October 1903 issue

The Ahmadiyya Movement alleges that Charles Francis Sievwright came to Qadian and met MGA. They claim that he changed his name to Muhammad Abdul Haqq. His arrival in Qadian is recorded in the third volume of Malfuzat under the title “Answers to the questions of an Australian new Muslim convert”. He was present in Qadian on 22 October 1903 and stayed for two days.

______________________________________________________________________________________________
1906

Ahmadiyya sources allege, that In 1906, while living in New Zealand, Charles Francis Sievwright accepted Ahmadiyyat. He later moved to the United States, where he passed away in Los Angeles.

In Tarikh Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Australia (1903-1965), on page 21, Hazrat Muhammad Abdul Haqq’s conversion to Islam and his visit to India, as a representative of the British and Indian Empire League, is mentioned. It is also written that he spent time in the province of North Queensland and wrote a novel that remained unpublished during his lifetime.

Memories of  Muhammad Abdul Haqq’s visit to Qadian and his meeting with the Promised Messiah are given in The Moslem Sunrise, October 1922:

“This meeting with Ghulam Ahmad in Qadian in the year 1903 was a wonderful proof of the truths of Islam […] On the 22^nd October 1903, I was at Qadian and received the hospitality of the entire community […] Nothing astonished me more, among all the extraordinary incidents during my missionary travels than the finding of myself in that sacred place and face to face with its Messiah.” (The Moslem Sunrise, 1922, p. 144).

He has been given the name of Iskander bin Fairuz. He claims to have been introduced to Ahmadiyya via Professor Wragge. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq asserted that Wragge was an Ahmadi (which was a lie).

The Feb-1918 edition of the ROR reports M.H. Musa Khan is working as a correspondent of the Ahmadiyya Movement.

In the Aug-Sep-1918 edition of the ROR, Chaudhry Fateh Muhammad Sial wrote an article entitled, “Ahmad in Australian Papers”. Sayyal claims that there are 12 Ahmadi’s in Australia, of which 6 are white people (this is a lie). Sayyal names 2 other Ahmadi’s, Mr. Abdullah and Ali Bahudar Khan. The ROR then presents the article on MGA which was published in an Australian newspaper, “The Truth”, the article is entitled, “Ahmad, the Prophet”. They claim that MGA predicted the fall of the Tsar of Russia among other things. The death of Dowie is also presented as a sign of MGA. A book of the 2nd Khalifa was published by “The Telegram” newspaper, which is out of Brisbane, the book is, “Mighty Signs of the Living God” (written in 1917).
