The history of #Ahmadiyya in #Afghanistan

Intro
In 2021, there are NO Qadiani-Ahmadi’s in all of Afghanistan. Mirza Masroor Ahmad did claim that there were some converts to #qadianism in 2020-2021 in his 2021 UK Jalsa, however, this seems to be a lie. There are no Qadiani murrabi’s working in Afghanistan, and there are no Qadiani temples or mission houses.

Per Ahmadiyya sources, MGA wrote a letter to the King of Afghanistan sometime between 1896-1901. Listen to Dr. Israr Ahmad explaining the letter on Tik Tok, you can see the original video herein. This letter (in persian) was published in the Ahmadiyya newspaper, the al-hakam in 1907, as the son of the previous ameer of Afghanistan was in Delhi and travelling through the Punjab.

Per Ahmadiyya sources, the first two Ahmadi’s who were killed for their faith happened in Afghanistan in 1901 and 1903. In 1903, in “Tadhkiratu-Shahadatain”, MGA claims that the “2-goat prophecy” was meant to be about Mian Abd-ur-Rahman and Maulawi Muhammad Abdul Latif (aka Syed Abdul Latif). He said it again in 1906-07 via Haqiqatul Wahy. MGA allegedly has another revelation in connection with the “2-goat prophecy“, this was a 3-goat prophecy from 1906 (see Tadhkirah and the ROR of Dec-1933). In 1933, the 2nd Khalifa argued that this was in terms of Maulavi Ni‘matullah Khan (on August 31, 1924), and Maulavi ‘Abdul-Halim and Qari Nur ‘Ali on February 12, 1925 (See al-Fadl, February 21, 1925, p. 1, quoted in Tarikh-e-Ahmadiyyat, vol. 5, p. 475 via Tadhkirah and the ROR of Dec-1933). Jalal ud Din Shams added the note into Tadhkirah in the 1960’s. However, the Khalifa didn’t count the 4 Ahmadi’s that were allegedly killed in 1917-1918. In fact, the first 9 alleged people who were killed for being Ahmadi happened in Kabul, Afghanistan (From 1901 to 1925). However, 9 out of 10 of these are dubious and have no references in Ahmadiyya literature. The list goes on to count 10 out of the first 12 Ahmadi’s killed in Afghanistan, the outlier here happened in Baghdad, Iraq in 1935, again, another dubious report. In 1995, B.A. Rafiq wrote “The Afghan Martyr’s” and covered the alleged death of Naimatullah Khan.

In MGA’s book, “Jihad and the British Government”, MGA addresses the Ameer of Afghanistan and tells him to circulate books against Jihad.

https://www.thepersecution.org/facts/martyred.html

Ahmadiyya sources {See B.A. Rafiq, “The Afghan Martyrs” (1995)} claim that MGA wrote a letter to the King of Afghanistan and it was hand carried by Moulvi Abdur Rehman to Afghanistan, and he was killed right after.

Ahmadiyya sources allege that Moulvi Abdur Rehman was killed on June 20th, however, this is a lie.

1903

Syed Abdul Latif is given the death penalty by the government of Afghanistan.

In “Tadhkiratu-Shahadatain”, MGA claims that the “2-goat prophecy” was meant to be about Mian Abd-ur-Rahman and Maulawi Muhammad Abdul Latif (aka Syed Abdul Latif).

[Badr, vol. 1, no. 4, April 27, 1905 p. 1 and al-Hakam, vol. 9, no. 16, May 10, 1905, p. 1]
Via Tadhkirah and the ROR of Feb-1930 (essay by Maulvi Sher Ali) and ROR of Dec-1933 (essay by the 2nd Khalifa).

MGA has a revelation about Nadir Shah, however, his name was Nadir Khan at the time, he didn’t become Nadir Shah until 1929, when he became King. In 1905, there was no indication as to who this revelation was about. In 1929, Maulvi Sher Ali alleged in the ROR of Feb-1930 that it was the new King.

[Urdu] Alas, where has Nadir Shah disappeared.

1906
Badr, vol. 2, no. 1, January 5, 1906, p. 2 and al-Hakam, vol. 10, no. 1, January 10, 1906, p. 1

In the ROR of Dec-1933, the 2nd Khalifa that this specific revelation was about the executions of 3 Ahmadi preachers, Maulavi Ni‘matullah Khan (on August 31, 1924), and Maulavi ‘Abdul-Halim and Qari Nur ‘Ali on February 12, 1925 (See al-Fadl, February 21, 1925, p. 1, quoted in Tarikh-e-Ahmadiyyat, vol. 5, p. 475 via Tadhkirah and the ROR of Dec-1933). However, from 1906 to 1932, no Ahmadi ever ascribed these revelations to anything specific.

[Urdu] Three goats will be slaughtered.

The Promised Messiah said: In literal compliance, I have arranged for the sacrifice of three goats.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s letter (in persian) to King Ameer Abdur Rahman Khan (1896-1901)

MGA and his team of writers wrote a letter in persian to Ameer Abdur Rahman (see page 18 of the “Afghan Martyrs”. B.A. Rafiq claims that this was published in the Al-Hakam of 2-17-1907.

Khwaja Hasan Nizami has recorded that in response to this letter the Ameer merely said, “Come here” (See Munade-e-Khwaja). Dr Majid Deobandi says, he had written a PhD thesis on Khwaja Hasan Nizami.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1912

The ROR of Nov-1912 mentions the history of Ahmadiyya in Afghanistan and specifically mentions the killing of Abdur Rahman and Maulvi Abdul Latif. In the same issue, it is alleged that there were 40 Afghan Ahmadi’s in Qadian who met with Major A.C. Elliot in 1911. They also claim that Afghan Ahmadi’s came and helped the Amir in his time of trouble. They also alleged that Maulvi Abdul Latif had 50,000 followers at the time of his death.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1913

Maulvi Sher Ali (editor of the english ROR) claims that MGA had a revelation and thus predicted that 85,000 Afghani’s will die. However, this was a lie, no such ilham was ever published by MGA.

“In the state of Kabul, there shall die 85,000″ (See english ROR of August 1913).

We have also found this revelation published in the Feb-1930 edition of the ROR, Maulvi Sher Ali alleges that it revealed to MGA on March 13th, 1907. It was also mentioned by the 2nd Khalifa in the ROR of Dec-1933.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1914

In the January-1914 edition of the english Review of Religions, it is reported that there are thousands of Ahmadi’s in Afghanistan. However, this is a lie. They specifically claimed that the largest group of Ahmadi’s outside of British-India was in Afghanistan. They also cried about the 2 Ahmadi’s that were killed in Afghanistan in 1903, Syed Abdul Latif and his companion.

The ROR of Sep-1914 posted an prophecy of MGA that 85,000 people will die in Kabul.

The ROR of Nov-1914 has a letter from the 2nd Khalifa wherein he cries about Ahmadi’s getting killed in Afghanistan in the past.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
1916

The ROR of January-1916 tells the world that the Ahmadiyya Movement is nothing without the support of the British Government, this was in an article entitled, “God Bless the British Government”. This is no secret, its a fact, even though Ahmadis refuse to admit to it. This article mentions the death penalty which was meted out to Syed Abdul Latif and his disciple (Abdur Rahman)(12-13 years ago)(read my essay on the history of Ahmadiyya in Afghanistan). This was during WW-1, Ahmadi’s were so loyal to the British that the British allowed them to open in Mauritius, Sri Lanka and London. In fact, they even called the King of England as their temporal Khalifa. The Ahmadiyya Movement has continued with this trend, in 1984, the 4th Khalifa moved to London and lived under asylum until his death.

Afghanistan is mentioned in the ROR of February-1916.

They also discussed funeral prayers for Ahmadi’s and non-Ahmadi’s.

1919

The 2nd Khalifa began making statements about setting up missionaries in Bukhara (Bokhara), Iran, Afghanistan and other Arab countries (See the 2nd Khalifa’s address on 3-17-1919, page 104)(see Ahmadiyya British-Jewish connections, page 87).

A partial english translation by Ghulam Muhammad Ahmadi appeared in ROR of March-April-May-1922 and written from Campbellpur (modern day Attock). In the ROR of Nov-1921, an article appeared entitled, “An Ahmadee martyr at Kabul”. They quoted Frank Martin’s, “Under the Absolute Amir”. In the June-1921 edition of the ROR, the Ahmadiyya Movement claimed to already be in Bukhara, Iran and Afghanistan and getting positive results. They even claimed that they had created an Ahmadiyya only “Double Company” of 1000 men that were ready to fight for the British.

In 1922, the Ahmadi’s congratulated the then emir, Amanullah Khan, for granting religious freedom to his people. (Germain, Eric (2007). “Southern Hemisphere Diasporic Communities in the Building of an International Muslim Public Opinion at the Turn of the Twentieth Century”. Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. 27 (1): 135. doi:10.1215/1089201x-2006-048.)

Who is Naimatullah Khan?

Per Ahmadiyya sources only, On August 31st, Naimatullah Khan is killed in Kabul, Afghanistan for being an Ahmadi, however, this is a lie. There is no corroborating reference. See, B.A. Rafiq, “The Afghan Martyrs”. MGA allegedly has another revelation in connection with the “2-goat prophecy“, this was a 3-goat prophecy. In the 1960’s, the Ahmadi imam Jalal ud Din Shams claimed that the 3-goat prophecy was fulfilled in the execution of Maulavi Ni‘matullah Khan (on August 31, 1924), and Maulavi ‘Abdul-Halim and Qari Nur ‘Ali on February 12, 1925 (See al-Fadl, February 21, 1925, p. 1, quoted in Tarikh-e-Ahmadiyyat, vol. 5, p. 475 via Tadhkirah and the ROR of Dec-1933).

The 1924-Jalsa at Qadian was held on the 26th-28th. Ahmadiyya sources claim that the 2nd Khalifa gave a 4 hour speech on Bahaism (which special focus on his claim to divinity) on the first day and a 6 hour speech on Naimatullah Khan and his state killing in Afghanistan.

1925
https://www.thepersecution.org/facts/martyred.html

Per Ahmadiyya sources only, On February 5th, Moulvi Abdul Haleem and Qari Noor Ali are killed in Kabul, Afghanistan for being Ahmadi, however, this is a lie. There is no corroborating reference.

The ROR of April-1925 mentions Maulvi Nimatullah Khan and a few other Ahmadi’s who were killed. The March-1925 also discusses this issue.

MGA allegedly has another revelation in connection with the “2-goat prophecy“, this was a 3-goat prophecy (See ROR of Dec-1933). In the 1960’s, the Ahmadi imam Jalal ud Din Shams claimed that the 3-goat prophecy was fulfilled in the execution of Maulavi Ni‘matullah Khan (on August 31, 1924), and Maulavi ‘Abdul-Halim and Qari Nur ‘Ali on February 12, 1925 (See al-Fadl, February 21, 1925, p. 1, quoted in Tarikh-e-Ahmadiyyat, vol. 5, p. 475 via Tadhkirah and the ROR of Dec-1933).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________1926

In the January-1926 edition of the ROR, the killings of Maulvi Abdul Halim and Mir Ali.

The Khalifa write’s his famous book, “Invitation to Ahmadiyyat” (online english edition of Invitation to Ahmadiyya). This is basically of letter of invitation to Amanullah Khan, who was the King of Afghanistan. The Khalifa confirms that MGA had a prophecy of the 2 goats and it was fulfilled with killing of Syed Abdul Latif and Maulvi Abdul Rahman. However, the Khalifa doesn’t mention Maulvi Abdul Haleem, Qari Noor Ali or Naimatullah Khan.

This photo is from the June-1926 edition of the ROR, which also discusses Ahmadi’s getting killed in Afghanistan.

______________________________________________________________________________________________
1930

Maulvi Sher Ali has an essay in the ROR of Feb-1930 wherein he alleges that MGA prophecied many things about Afghanistan specifically and quoted the famous “Kings will seek blessings from thy garments” alleged revelation of MGA. He then quotes MGA’s obscure revelation about Nadir Shah, however, his name was Nadir Khan at the time, he didn’t become Nadir Shah until 1929, when he became King. In 1905, there was no indication as to who this revelation was about, nor was there ever commentary until 1930. In 1930, Maulvi Sher Ali alleged in the ROR of Feb-1930 that it was the new King.

[Urdu] Alas, where has Nadir Shah disappeared.

Maulvi Sher Ali (editor of the english ROR) claims that MGA had a revelation and thus predicted that 85,000 Afghani’s will die. However, this was a lie, no such ilham was ever published by MGA.

“In the state of Kabul, there shall die 85,000″ (See english ROR of August 1913).

We have also found this revelation published in the Feb-1930 edition of the ROR, Maulvi Sher Ali alleges that it revealed to MGA on March 13th, 1907. It was also mentioned by the 2nd Khalifa in the ROR of Dec-1933.

1932-1933

Allegedly, per the ROR of Jan-1933, Ahmadi’s from Afghanistan were at the Jalsa at Qadian in 1932.

Dard’s report of missionary activity is published in the ROR of Nov-1933. He claims to have given a lecture at the Dorking Rotary Club. He talked about MGA’s prophecies like Dowie, Lekh Ram, the Great European War (doomsday earthquake), the destruction of the Czar dynasty (Russia). He also mentioned how Ahmadi’s are persecuted and killed in Afghanistan, Maulvi Abdul Latif and a few others. Dard also claims that M.M. Ahmad (B.A.) had recently came to London.

The ROR of Dec-1933 has an essay by the 2nd Khalifa entitled, “Kabul Witnesses a New Sign”. The 2nd Khalifa alleges that MGA had not even claimed to be a Mujadid when he got the revelation of the “2-goat prophecy” (1883), he then mentions the murders of Mian Abd-ur-Rahman and Maulawi Muhammad Abdul Latif (aka Syed Abdul Latif) in Kabul (1903). The 2nd Khalifa claims that the execution of all these men were avenged when Amir Habibullah Khan was assassinated in 1919 and the failed government of Amanullah Khan (which lasted from 1919-1929). The 2nd Khalifa then mentions the civil war of 1929 and MGA’s revelation that 85,000 people will die in Kabul (See english ROR of August 1913). The 2nd Khalifa then alleges that MGA had predicted the 1933 assassination of Mohammed Nadir Shah, the new King of Afghanistan back in 1905 (see Badr, vol. 1, no. 4, April 27, 1905 p. 1 and al-Hakam, vol. 9, no. 16, May 10, 1905, p. 1 and via Tadhkirah). The 2nd Khalifa presented this as the fourth prophecy of MGA about Afghanistan. He claims that MGA prayed to his God that the family Amir Habibullah Khan should be reduced to life a misery and ignominy as good as that of the dead. Maulana Sanaullah Amritsari comments on Nadir Shah and Afghanistan. Sir Muhammad Iqbal’s trip to Kabul is also mentioned. The 2nd Khalifa then mentions that Maulvi Sher Ali has an essay in the ROR of Feb-1930 wherein he alleges that MGA prophecied many things about Afghanistan specifically and quoted the famous “Kings will seek blessings from thy garments” alleged revelation of MGA. He then quotes MGA’s obscure revelation about Nadir Shah, however, his name was Nadir Khan at the time, he didn’t become Nadir Shah until 1929, when he became King. In 1905, there was no indication as to who this revelation was about, nor was there ever commentary until 1930. In 1930, Maulvi Sher Ali alleged in the ROR of Feb-1930 that it was the new King.
