Intro
By 2020, we estimate that there are barely 10k Ahmadi’s in all of Sierra Leone. This is based on the amount of missionaries that they have working and the amount of Qadiani-mosques. By 1979, the Ahmadiyya Movement was claiming to have 10 mission houses, 75 mosques, 40 school’s and 4 hospitals in the country.
The Amir and Missionary-in-charge was Maulana Saeed-ur-Rahman (from 2004 to 2022), in 2022, Mr. Musa Mewa was appointed by Mirza Masroor Ahmad to be the Amir Ahmadiyya Jam’at, Sierra Leone. It is unclear as to how many Ahmadi mullahs are working underneath him (we have counted about 10, of which, the majority are working at Jamia). However, his English is terrible. It is also unclear when the first Ahmadiyya place of worship was built. It seems to be Baitul Sabuh, which is in the Kissy Dockyard area of Freetown. Official Ahmadiyya sources claim 500,000 Ahmadi’s in Sierra Leone which is a farce.
In what seems to be July of 1946, in London, 14 Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi’s took a picture together (see Rashid Ahmad’s, “Perseverance”, page 44). The Al-Hakam alleges that 9 of them were sent from Qadian.

Ahmadiyya places of worship in Sierra Leone
It’s unclear where and when their first place of worship was built. Per Ahmadiyya sources, it seems to have been in Freetown, the name of the place is Baitul Sabuh.
There are only 7 additional places of worship in the entire country, these are all very small and can only hold 50-70 worshippers:
- Ahmadiyya Mosque in Gbonkobana
- Ahmadiyya Mosque in Gbendembu
- Ahmadiyya Mosque in Kailahun
- Ahmadiyya Mosque in Makeni
- Ahmadiyya Mosque in Bo, also called Nasir hall or Masjid Nasar
- Ahmadiyya Mosque at Kenema, Sierra Leone
- Nasar Ahmadiyya mosque, Bo, Sierra Leone (site of Jamia)
- Wordu, Sierra Leone (2019)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
How many Ahmadi mullahs are currently working in Sierra Leone?
It seems that there are just a few Ahmadi mullahs working in the whole country. The Amir and Missionary-in-charge is Maulana Saeed-ur-Rahman. By 1987, there were only 9 Pakistani mullah’s working the entire country. In Kenema, Sierra Leone, Ahmadiyya sources tell us that another Ahmadi mullah is also working, his name is Maulvi Muneer Hussain. Mubarak Ahmad Ghumman is the principal at the Ahmadi missionary training center (Jamia). He would be Ahmadi mullah #3. Ibrahim Ahmad Keifala is Ahmadi mullah #4, he works at the Jamia. Mohammad Moris Kamara is #5. Alimamy Sesay is #6, he is also the first ever local Sierra Leonian Ahmadi who became a missionary for the Qadiani’s. Sulaiman H. Kamara is #7. Zafir Usama is #8 (at Jamia right now). Abdul Hadi Qureshi is another teacher at Jamia, he is #9.

Jamia in Sierra Leone
They had been using the Ahmadiyya Mosque in Bo, also called Nasir hall or Masjid Nasar.
maulvi Mubarak Ahmad Ghuman Sahib who was already in Jamia as a teacher as an acting principle. Then later than His holy ness Khalaifatul Masih the fifth send a missionary from Pakistan Maulvi Dawood Abid sahib as a principle and in his time this historical work was done that now finally Jamia moved from Masjid Nasir or Nasir mosque central Mosque BO to the secondary school the assembly hall. Assembly hall was divided in three classrooms and there Jamia started taking place it started taking shape of the Jamia now. And that second historical also improvement and development happened that the boarding house of secondary school was empty dew to some reasons local reasons and it was just there so we decided that we should move the students from Nasir Mosque Majid Nasir to the boarding house and that boarding house was purposely build as a boarding house. Then in 2010 dawood sahib was transfer to Jamia Ahmadiyya Uk and Mirza Masroor Ahmad graciously appointed Maulana Mubarak Ahmad Ghuman sahib as a principle. Presently Jamia staff consist of five central mubhalghin and three local missionaries we have academic block, boarding, mess, library, multipurpose hall, mosque and play ground. Students get admission with the recommendation of their regional missionaries. Recommended applicants are interviewed by a panel of Missionaries and eligible students are selected and sent for Medical checkup. Those who successfully pass all these stages get admission in Jamia for a course of four-year.

1916
The earliest history of the Ahmadiyya Community in Sierra Leone can be traced to the year of 1916, during WW-1. In that year at least six people are said to have conveyed their adherence to the Ahmadiyya faith, after being influenced by the circulation of Ahmadiyya literature in Sierra Leone from neighbouring West African nations (See Fisher, page 121).
The ROR of June-1916 alleges that a man named Y.S Din A. Fahm has accepted MGA as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi.
The ROR of Oct-1916 reports that 6 people from Freetown, Sierra Leone have sent in bait forms.
The ROR of Nov-1916 reports 8 people have become Ahmadi’s via an anonymous letter, names are also given.
The ROR of Dec-1916 reports that some guy named Y. Sadr ud Din has sent a post card of sorts to Qadian for 10s (whatever that means).

Nayyar sailed from London to Freetown, in Sierra Leone. While in Freetown Nayyar delivered a lecture at a mosque in Fourah Bay, in the east end of the city at the request of the city’s chief Imam (See Fisher, page 121). He tried to convert the imam and his adherents and failed.
The ROR of April-1921 reports that Nayyar converted 4000+ Fante Muslims to Ahmadiyya in Sierra Leone.
The Moslem Sunrise of July-1921alleges that Ahmadiyya has spread to West Africa and has a branch therein.

The Moslem Sunrise (April-1922) alleges that Ahmadiyya has spread to West Africa and has a branch therein.
The Moslem Sunrise (July-1922) alleges that Ahmadiyya has spread to West Africa and has a branch therein.
The Moslem Sunrise (Oct-1922) alleges that Maulvi Nayyar is working out of West Africa and busy educating alleged new converts. They also allege that Nayyar has converted 16,000 people to Qadianism (a lie). A location in Salt Pond (Ghana), a location in Lagos, at Bangabose St and a location in Sierra Leone.
The Al Fazl of 2 October 1922 reports that Ahmadiyya has spread to West Africa and 16,000 people have joined in only 12 months. It also reports that Professor AR Nayyar Phil B, as a missionary; in Lagos, at 62, Bangabose Street, Saltpond; and in Sierra Leone. [As mentioned before, Ahmadiyyat reached West Africa from London and not the other way around.] This was quoted by a newspaper called “West Africa” by its special correspondent. The aforementioned newspaper, under the title “The Ahmadia Movement in India, West Africa, and London”.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1923
The Moslem Sunrise of Apr. & July 1923 mentions how he is working out of Saltpond, Ghana. His photo is also given. The Moslem Sunrise of Apr. & July 1923 alleges Nayyar is back in London and getting medical treatment. A man named Imam Shodende seems to be carrying on the work in Lagos, Nigeria. They also report that a photo of Nayyar and Maulvi F. R. Hakeem is in a newspaper in London called, “The West Africa”. Maulvi F. R. Hakeem is working out of the Salt Pond, Ghana and covering Nigeria as needed. The Hakeem also has a note of appreciation.
The Moslem Sunrise of Apr. & July 1923 alleges that Ahmadiyya has spread to West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone). It also names Maulvi F. R. Hakeem as the only Ahmadi missionary in West Africa, the others are “honorary”.
His fascinating method of preaching won the sympathy of the late Alhaji Muhammadu Aminu, who later became the Emir of Zaria and his successor, the late Iyan Gari as well as Alhaji Saidu Zango and a host of other Hausa speaking elites. The Hausa speaking elites held Maulvi Hakeem in high esteem.
Al Hajj Fadl-ul-Rahman Hakim was mostly working out of Ghana as the first permanent missionary to Ghana. In 1923, Hakim started an elementary school in Saltpond. Further primary schools were opened in a number of other towns and villages, such as in Mumford and Potsin, all in the coastal regions. He stayed until 1929, at which point he was called back to Qadian.
For the first decade, the Ahmadiyya mission had only a single missionary at any one time, supported by a Fante interpreter. During the 1920s, Hakim conducted open-air lectures across notable locations along the southern coast. In his efforts he adopted the Quran and the Bible. Many of these discussions revolved around the death of Jesus, a perspective at odds with the non-Ahmadi Muslim and Christian populations of Ghana. Titles included “The Bible Shows Jesus did not die on the cross” and “Jesus did not die on the cross, nor is he sitting alive in the fourth heaven at the right hand of God.” Such polemics, on the one hand, were a cause of confusion for the Christian peasants in the southern regions and on the other hand created a negative relationship between Hakim and some Christians. In some cases, polemics induced intra-religious violence directed towards Ahmadis.
From the very beginning, the Ahmadiyya movement adopted Western-style education system and at the same time advocated for Islamic curriculum.

1927
By 1927, the Community numbered 3,000 across forty localities in the southern regions and the Ashanti Empire. In 1927, an increased missionary outlook was adopted, which facilitated its spread among the Fante people in the south, the Wala people in the north, and the Ashanti people in-between.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1928
In 1928, the Community requested the colonial government for permission to build a mosque and a secondary school in Kumasi. However, the government rejected the application, on the basis that there already existed a Muslim mosque and a school in the region. The following year, another letter was sent with over 400 signatures from Asante members of the Community.

1933
Maulvi F. R. Hakeem has an essay in the ROR of May-1933 entitled, “Islam in West Africa”. In this essay, he talks about the educational system of Ghana (Gold Coast), Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali is also mentioned in the ROR of Aug-1933 as being welcomed back to Qadian. Maulvi F. R. Hakeem relieved him. They alleged to have 369 students, 5 Ahmadi teachers and 8 Christian teachers. They alleged to have 5000-6000 Ahmadi’s in West Africa. 60 centers have been setup, there are 8 paid preachers who are Ahmadi. During Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali’s stay in the Gold Coast, he alleges that 243 persons became Ahmadi in 1929-1930, 384 in 1930-1931, 1119 in 1931-1932 and 847 in 1933 until he left.
The ROR of July-1933 reports that another Ahmadi missionary who was already working West Africa named F. R. Hakeem has relieved Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali and he has went back to British-India. In the ROR of Nov-1933, Maulvi F. R. Hakeem claims to have stopped in Sierra Leone, from London, he travelled to West Africa. He complains about Lahori-Ahmadi’s (most likely about West African’s who have denied the Khilafat). Nevertheless, Maulvi F. R. Hakeem claims to have defeated Lahorism in 1929 in Sierra Leone.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1934
In an official document presented to the Governor General of India, the Ahmadiyya Movement and the 2nd Khalifa claim to have many local converts to Ahmadiyya (See ROR of April-1934).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1937
Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali was sent to the Gold coast (Ghana) by his Khalifa in 1929, he stayed at worked until 1933 (see Fisher). His real name was Nazir Ahmad. He was a sickly man and always spit blood. He had to be quarantined many times while traveling. He was sent again to the Gold Coast (Ghana) by the Khalifa in 1936. He stayed for one year. In 1937, he moved over to Freetown, Sierra Leone, and thus became the first ever permanent Ahmadi mullah in Sierra Leone. He seems to have died in Sierra Leone in 1954 (see Fisher). While he was in Ghana in 1936, he seems to have worked with Al Hajj Fadl-ul-Rahman Hakim for a short while. He was given the title of Ali in 1954, after his death.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1939
In 1939, Ali transferred to Baomahun, a flourishing gold mining town, south of Bo in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone. Multiple reasons have been postulated for this move. It has been suggested that a Syrian trader in Baomahun wrote a letter to Ali after having read Ahmadiyya literature. In another instance, Droman, a vice-chief, invited Ali to Baomahun. Nevertheless, Ali was welcomed as a renowned preacher, as his fame grew across the country. Soon after his arrival, he initiated his preaching efforts inviting people to accept the message of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the Imam Mahdi. During this period a prevalent belief in Sierra Leone was that the appearance of the Mahdi would be announced by the beating of great drums, as a result of which the nonbelievers will perish, which Ali interpreted as a parable. Soon, Baomahun developed into a full-fledged headquarters of the Ahmadiyya missionary activities in Sierra Leone, as many people joined the Community.
As Baomahun was a mining town, its gold was gradually exhausted, and thus its future was bound to be threatened. This led to two important consequences. The dispersion of its inhabitants, many of whom were Ahmadi Muslims, led to the spread of Ahmadiyya teachings across towns and villages of the country. On the other hand, the Ahmadiyya headquarters had to be relocated for which Bo was conveniently selected.
At the 1939 Jalsa at Qadian, the 2nd Khalifa alleged that word had come from Sierra Leone that 2 Chiefs and their tribe of 500 had accepted Ahmadiyya (a lie).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1940
During the 1940s, Ali made multiple expeditions across the country. One notable journey was towards the east, as a consequence of which two of the most prominent people became Ahmadi Muslims. In Boajibu, Ali met Khalil Gamanga, a Paramount Chief of the Kenema District. Gamanga soon accepted Ahmadiyya and made notable contributions to the faith in the country. In Fala, Ali confronted with Qasim, Chief of Baama and a leading diamond magnate.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1941
The ROR of July-1941 tells us that Ahmadiyya has spread into the town of Balama, they also allege that the Chief of this village has accepted Ahmadiyya. 2 out of the 3 mosques in this city have also been given to the Ahmadiyya Movement. The Ahmadiyya mullah also went to Kenma.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

The ROR of June-1942 mentions Sierra Leone and the work of M. Nazir Ahmad (Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali)(missionary-in-charge in Sierra Leone). The ROR reports that Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali went on tour via his feet, accompanied by some locals that he was training as assistant missionaries. Another Ahmadi named Mr. Sa’eed Umar Jah. It is reported that M. Nazir Ahmad stayed in Matotoka, ahmadi sources allege that 30 people became Ahmadi. M. Nazir Ahmad then went to Miley and Makali.

In the Gold Coast alone (Ghana) there are 12 Ahmadiyyah schools and 88 mosques. While Sierra Leone alone has 3 schools and 12 mosques. There are large communities all over Nigeria, and to me was accorded the honour and privilege of laying the foundation stone of the Central Ahmadiyyah Mosque in Lagos in March of last year. In spite of the serious handicaps imposed by the war, the construction of the Mosque was completed within less than six months. There are active communities in East Africa (Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya) Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. Two families of Ahmadis have migrated to Qadian from Turkestan.
The ROR of April-1946 alleges that Qadiani-Ahmadi’s in Sierra Leone had stolen a mosque and were using it illegally. Qadiani-Ahmadi’s complained about Chief Musa Marlu and how he expelled Qadianis and etc. Chief Musa Marlu had the Qadiani-Ahmadi maulvi arrested and thrown in jail.
