Intro
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad had 2 daughters that made it to adulthood and procreated further. They are Mubarika Begum (born March-1896, died on May 23rd, 1977)(see Dard, page 565) and Amatul Hafeez (born 25th January 1904, died). There seems to be a discrepancy on the date of birth, for Mubaraka, reports from Seeratul Mahdi (1923) allege that she was born on a Wednesday(March-3-1897, not a Tuesday (March-2-1897). An old Ahmadiyya website link alleged that she was on Tuesday (March-2-1897). However, by 2025, this link has been removed from their website altogether.
MGA was known to marry off his children before reaching the age of 12. To our memory, none of MGA’s children made it past that age without a marriage. MGA was already receiving fake revelations to the effect that he should marry off his eldest daughter (Mubarika) to Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan, who was a rich aristocrat from the Malerkotla state. Mubarika was only 10 years when she married a man of 40 years, and her new husband already had another wife, hence, MGA’s daughter became a 2nd wife to a much older man. Furthermore, Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan had a wife who had died a few years earlier. Thus, Mubarika Begum was his 3rd wife.
Muhammad Ali Khan lived exclusively within MGA’s home every time he came to Qadian. He built a separate house in Qadian after his marriage however, it was connected to the new Nur-Masjid, which was named after Noorudin, and was right next to the Talim-ul-Islam High School, which seems to be 50-100 yards from the house of MGA.
In 1910 Nooruddin was at the house of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan and was returning to the home of MGA, he fell off of his pony and was dragged mercilessly, he almost died and had to have a leg amputated. Further, Nooruddin seemed to continue to live with MGA’s family until early 1914, wherein he moved out, he thus moved into this new house. He also had him (Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan) as the executor of his (noorudin’s) will. Noorudin thus died in the Nawab’s house and his will was read out by the Nawab (see page 334). They then elected Mirza Basheer-uddin Mahmud Ahmad in a make-shift election.
In 1953, Nawab Mubarika Begum has a dream of hers published in the Al-Fazl of 1953 (page 6). She see’s her dead brother, Mirza Mubarak Ahmad. She asks her brother if her mother has met Muhammad (saw). Her brother says that Nusrat Jehan is living with Muhammad (saw) in his bedroom (astagfarullah).
In 1977, she died on May 23rd, 1977)(see Dard, page 565).
In 1984, she was mentioned in a Roya of the 4th Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa, Mirza Tahir Ahmad.

She is born at Qadian, on 2nd March 1897.

MGA hints via a revelation that his daughter will eventually become a Nawab. Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan was living in MGA’s house in those days. (See, the 2009 online edition of Tadhkirah and also [al-Hakam, vol. 5, no. 44, November 30, 1901, p. 3])[Amin of Bashir Ahmad, Sharif Ahmad and Mubarakah Begum,

MGA’s letters with Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan
(Maktoobat e Ahmad Volume 2 Page No.97.-98)
Note:- Non relevant portion of letter is omitted.
My dear Nawab sb Assalam o alaikum wrwb,
Yesterday, I heard that you have asked the hand of my daughter Mubaraka for marriage. However, there are two problems in this matter. No. 1. she has just completed 11 years of her age. No.2, She is weak by birth and permanently suffering from cough and cold.She is not fit for marriage. In case If she is married, she would die.
(Letter dated 20 December, 1907.)
______________________________________________________________________________________________Next Letter of MGA to Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan dated 12th February 1908
My dear Nawab sb,
I have given serious thought to your marriage proposal with my dearest daughter Mubaraka and God has put it in my heart that I won,t have any issue to accept your proposal subject to certain conditions and hope that you would not hesitate to accept these conditions.
First Condition is that you will pay amount equal to two years of your whole property income that would be Rs.50,000/- as dower. (Meher).
You would sign an affidavit in writing as per Shariah, to affirm this.
Whatever the conditions are, these are not beyond your status secondly these have been put in my heart by Allah. The reason for placing such conditions is not that I have some kind of mistrust about you but it is based on the fact that no body knows of life and death and as per your family traditions your women are deprived of the inheritance.
There is no harm if such an arrangement is made to support a woman financially in case if her husband is dead. May Allah bless long life to your sons but they would only pursue their own desires after you. Therefore, this decision of HAQ MEHER(dower) is categorical and final.
This is the right of women which has been fixed by Allah for helpless women. So that in case if your age is not long enough and she remains alive after you, she can live peacefully and protect herself from the bad behaviour of relatives.
This is the condition which is definite and I would not even give you the time to give it second thought. This is my un changeable decision, if you agree to and fulfil this I would fix the NIKAH to be held on Monday and girl would be sent to you after a year. There can be no amendment in the conditions as laid down by me. I have asked my dear Syed Ismail , who is here on leave, to stay few days more. However, in case if you refuse he will proceed to resume his service tomorrow.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
______________________________________________________________________________________________What happened next?
Nawab sb agreed to the harsh conditions as laid down by MGAQ and the 11 year old Mubaraka was married to 50 years old Nawab sb and she was dropped off at Nawab’s home in one year by Nusrat Jehan.

On 17 Feb 1908, Ahmadiyya sources announce the Nikkah of MGA’s eldest surviving daughter with the Nawab. However, she doesn’t seem to have went to live with the Nawab quite yet.

1908–April-May in Lahore
(Biography Titled as “Mubaraka ki kahani Mubaraka ki zubani page No. 15,16 36,37 53, 54)
Qadiani literature mentions that Mirza Ghulam Qadiani had received Ilham about his death and he knew it before,he died on 26 May,1908. Whereas the circusmtances prove that he was absolutely unaware of his sudden death. Here are the events that happened before his sudden demise.
Mirza Gulam Qadiani, his wife, three sons with their wives, one daughter with husband, one unmarried daughter. Molvi Nuruddin with two wives and children, Pir Manzoor Muhammad, Mir Nasir Nawab popularly known as Nana Jan with wife. The number reached to 20 persons or so.
He arrived in Lahore on the last days of April and stayed there upto 26th of May. In fact his sudden death broke the tour otherwise they had no plans to return to Qadian soon.
Mirza along with family reached Batala to take a reserved Railway carriage for travel to Lahore so he waited for a day to get a reserved train coach.
Mirza and his family had spent time in Lahore in the joyful activities. Ahmadiyya literature mentions there was a horse carriege all time parked out side of the house for riding of Mirza and his family. His sons had horse riding. One of the followers presented a brand new car which took the family to the city center and tourists places in Lahore. Mirza used to ride a Range Rover Car for evening outings during his stay at Lahore. Mirza had outing in the evening of the night when he fell ill and died within few hours.
Wife Nusrat Jehan did shopping of expensive Fabric for family and particularly for daughter Mubaraka Begum who was married to Nawab Muhammad Ali but was not sent to husbands home by that time. Nawab sb was also included in the visiting party. Mubaraka narrates that once “Amman Jan” called a fabric vender downstair at home. His father Mirza told her of that and asked her to go and choose any of the fabric piece, he will buy it for her. Mubaraka says she had got married to Nawab Muhammad Ali and her departure to husbands house was near so she says she felt shyness and modesty of this offer of father.

Click to access Hadrat-Amman-Jan.pdf
It is the 14th March, 1909 and Hadrat Amman Janra is holding her daughter’s hand Hadrat Nawwab Mubaraka Begumra, a girl of just 12. Together they walk over to the neighbour’s house. The homeowner is absent. It is 2 p.m. in the afternoon and he has not yet returned from prayers in the mosque. Hadrat Amman Janra and her daughter patiently await his return. The gentleman returns after 3 p.m. Hadrat Amman Janra stands and taking her daughter’s hand she puts it into the hands of the gentleman, Hadrat Nawwab Muhammad Ali Khan Sahibra. Hadrat Amman Janra cannot control the tremors in her voice, and tears begin to well in her eyes as she speaks;
“I am giving you my orphaned daughter to take care of“.
Before she loses control of her composure completely, Hadrat Amman Janra bids “Salam” to the couple and quickly leaves the house. What could this scene be? Indeed to my astonishment it was the revolutionary wedding of Hadrat Nawwab Mubaraka Begumra. Its simplicity seems amazingly groundbreaking and yet was completely based on Islamic principles. (The “nikah” ie the essential verbal agreement made in public, had already occurred during the lifetime of the Promised Messiahas). (Hadrat Amman Janra an Inspiration for us all, page 107, link
______________________________________________________________________________________________Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan and Nawab Mubaraka Begum’s children
They seem to have had children immediately after the Nikah of 1908. Ahmadiyya sources tell us that on 14th March, 1909, when she had just turned 12 years old, she was dropped off by her mother at the newly built house of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan in Qadian (see Amma Jan, online english edition, page 107). Later on, they also lived together in Malerkotla.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________MGA’s family married off his other daughter at age 11
MGA had already died in 1908. His wife and other people must have arranged for the marriage of Amtul Hafiz (also spelled Amatul Hafeez) (the other daughter of MGA) to the other son of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan (his son from a previous marriage), his name was Nawab Abdullah Khan. The marriage was announced on June 7th, 1915 by Maulvi Ghulam Rasul Rajeki and announced in the Al-Hakam, it was also mentioned by MGA’e enemy, Maulvi Sanullah in his newspaper entitled, “Muraqa Qadiani”. It is unclear when she moved in and lived with this older man.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________English Translation of Monthly “Muraqa Qadiani” 1908
Muraqa Qadiani was a Monthly Magazine started by Abul Wafa Sana Ullah Amritsari.
At the time of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the communication and recording of the information was through printed daily newspapers, Ishtiharat, booklets and magazines weekly and monthly, (Mirza Ghulam used the printed media to his best advantage). The same rule applied to Muslim scholars, who replied via the same method. Muslims owned many newspapers and weekly and monthly magazines too and they printed news about Qadian, Mirza Ghulam and his newly started religion, qadianism.
Here is a piece of news printed by Sana Ullah Amritsari, at the occasion of the marriage of Mirza Ghulam first daughter Amtul Hafeez.
Muraqa Qadiani April 1908 Sana Ullah Amratsari printed a piece of information which has just happened, he prints “ Krishan Jee (Mirza Ghulam (as he claimed to be krishana for Hindus) has just got his daughter Nikah done at the age of 11 years to Mian Muhammad Ali Khan, mahajar at qadian, raees of Mahler Kotla, huq mehr agreed at 56 thousand rupees. Jamaat Qadiani is very happy with this connection (Mahler Kotla family) but we are not only concerned with the health of this girl but also her life”.

On Feb-17-1984, Mirza Tahir Ahmad (4th Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa) was at the Ahmadiyya temple in Nasirabad, Sindh, Pakistan and giving a Friday sermon. During this sermon, Mirza Tahir Ahmad (4th Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa) narrated three recent visions (roya) from a few days ago. These visions conveyed glad tidings of divine support for Jamaat (Khutbat-e-Tahir, Vol. 3, pp. 97-117). Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that one morning, Mirza Luqman Ahmad was in the next room sleeping, Mirza Luqman Ahmad allegedly woke up for Fajr (4-5am) and told Mirza Tahir Ahmad that last night, Allah gave him (Mirza Luqman Ahmad) good news.
Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that in the first roya, he sees a room, and people sitting around Mirza Nasir Ahmad (like a majlis) and they are listening to Mirza Nasir Ahmad. Mirza Tahir Ahmad says, that he believes himself to be a Khalifa and in the presence of Mirza Nasir Ahmad and there is NO issue. In the roya, Mirza Nasir Ahmad sees Mirza Tahir Ahmad and asks a person to get a chair open for Mirza Tahir Ahmad, which is done. Mirza Tahir Ahmad also mentioned that all the faces except that of Mirza Nasir Ahmad were blank. in the Roya, Mirza Nasir Ahmad tells Mirza Tahir Ahmad to take over the Khilafat.
Mirza Tahir Ahmad says in the second roya, it is Amtul Hafeez Begum (MGA’s youngest child) and she is walking into the house of Mirza Tahir Ahmad (she is his aunty, poopee). Mirza Tahir Ahmad says that’s the whole story.
Mirza Tahir Ahmad says in the third roya, it is Syed Nawab Mubaraka Begum (the eldest living daughter of MGA, she died in 1977), she is at the table eating food. That seems to be it.
