Intro
Zafrullah Khan was born in 1893, to a family of Sahi Jats of Daska, in the Sialkot district of Pakistan (See page-1 and 15)(his father and grandfather were members of the Ahl-e-Hadith, see ROR July-1942). You can read about his family in detail in the first few pages of “Meri Waalidah” (My Mother)(1938 and 1981). Watch Dr. Syed Holy Spirit’s video on this topic. He was a puppet of the Khalifa, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud and the 3rd and 4th Khalifa. He did whatever the Khalifa’s wanted done.
In 1904, his family converted to Ahmadiyya, while MGA and his team were in Sialkot (See ROR of July-1942).
In 1906, Zafrullah Khan visited Qadian with his father for the first time ever. They slept in a small room in the southern corner (facing the offices of the Baitul Mal across the street) of the building which now forms part of the house which belongs to Mirza Bashir Ahmad. Zafrullah Khan alleges that he MGA would sit in a small room of Masjid Mubarak after Zuhr and Asr and people would basically worship MGA. Zafrullah Khan also claims to have went with MGA on his famous walks around Qadian. Zafrullah Khan also remembers Noorudin and his medical clinic. Zafrullah Khan also alleges that he was at the annual Jalsa of 1905, 1906 and 1907. He recalls an incident from either 1906 or 1907, wherein his father, Syed Hamid Shah and Dr. Mirza Yaqub Beg were staying in the room on the eastern side of Masjid Mubarak (this was a room that MGA passed through before entering the mosque itself). Zafrullah Khan and his friends would eat food in this room, it was also being used by Maulvi Muhammad Ali as his main office (See the ROR of July-1942).
In 1907, Zafrullah Khan’s father sent him to Government College, Lahore, for graduate study, and for the first time he had to live away from home (See page 36). He formally signed bait on September 16, 1907 (See ROR of July-1942). He seems to have also attended the Jalsa of 1907. In the ROR of July-1942, Zafrullah Khan claims to have been in Qadian when MGA’s son (Mirza Mubarak Ahmad) died.
In 1908, when MGA died, in April, MGA came to Lahore. MGA died on May 26th, 1908 and Zafrullah Khan seems to have been a party to it, we aren’t sure exactly how. Nevertheless, he claims to have been in Qadian for the election of the 1st Khalifa, Maulvi Noorudin (see pages 37-38). Via the ROR of July-1942, Zafrullah Khan was in Lahore when MGA died, he was fast asleep in his hostel, Sheikh Tamur woke him up and told him on May 26th, around noon that MGA was dead. Zafrullah Khan had been in attendance during lots of MGA’s sittings. Zafrullah Khan was part of the janaza all the way to Qadian. He claims to have stayed for 2 days at Qadian, signed the bait of Noorudin and then returned to Lahore, to his hostel.
In 1911, he goes to the United Kingdom and gets a law degree. He arrived in London on September 17, 1911 (See Autobiography of Zafrullah “Tehdees e Naimat” pages 35 onwards).
In 1913, the ROR of Jan-Feb-1920 reports Zafrullah Khan was at that Martin Historical Society in Lahore and gave a speech on “Islam in Russia”. In this speech he reflected on his trip to Russia in 1913.
In 1914, he received his L.L.B. from King’s College London, in 1914. This was just after the Split in the Ahmadiyya Movement. He was called to the Bar in June 1914, and passed the LL.B. examination of the University of London in October of that year, standing first in First Class Honours (see page 40). His mother swore allegiance to Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud, and so did Zafrullah Khan. His father also seems to have swore allegiance to the new Khalifa. The ROR of July-1914 has a one-page essay by him, dated as June 12th, 1914 (from London) and in terms of penalties given to those who convert out of Christianity. At the end of the first week of November-1914, he was back in India. He was hired as an Advocate of the Chief Court of the Punjab and obtained my licence to practise law. He started practice at Sialkot as my father’s junior. He was then at the top of civil practice at Sialkot and maintained a very high standard of professional values. His reputation was correspondingly high. I was fortunate in having him as my instructor and mentor.
In 1915-1920, tt should be noted that Zafrullah Khan never spoke of his first 2 wives, who were sisters and his cousins (Iqbal Begum and Rashida Begum)(not sure what side of the family). Both of these weddings seem to have happened between 1915-1920.
In 1919, the Jan-Feb edition of the ROR reports that Zafrullah Khan presided over many sessions at the Islamia College as the 2nd Khalifa allegedly gave speeches. Zafarullah Khan held the office of Ameer (president) of the Lahore, Pakistan chapter of the Ahmadiyya Community from 1919 to 1935.
In 1924, he famous read out the Khalifa’s speech in London and took the Khalifa to an opera house (in France) wherein women were nude and dancing (listen to Abdul Rahman Bawa sahib explaining this scenario). The Khalifa had claimed to be William the Conqueror before travelling to be London, this was simply one of the many ilham’s of the 2nd Khalifa. He also built a huge mansion at Qadian, you can see it here.
The date of this 3rd marriage seems to be after his father died (late 1926-early 1927). He married Badar Begum, daughter of his classmate in college, Shamshad Ali Khan (of Bihar)(see “Meri Waalidah” (My Mother). She was thus, barely 13-15 years old and Zafrullah Khan was 30, they even claim that there was a dream wherein Zafrullah Khan was fondling his baby.
In 1935, she was fed up with Zafrullah Khan and even had constant consternation with Zafrullah Khan’s mother. Her mother-in-law was dead by 1938. Per Zafrullah Khan, on January 12th, 1937, Amtul Haye was born (see page 125 and 127)(Zaf Khan’s mother had died after this pregnancy). Amtul Haye goes missing thereafter and doesn’t show up again until 1982 (see page 169).
In 1948, Zafrullah Khan was still married to Badar Begum, however, after partition, Badar Begum seems to have filed for divorce and then married the famous Shahnawaz (see also “Zafar Ullah Khan Qadyani” by Muhammad Tahir Abdul Razzaq).
In 1955-56, Zafrullah Khan married a teenage palestinian refugee (Bushra Rabbani), who was already married, had hella sex with her, then let her go).
Dr. Syed Holy Spirit claims that the grandson of Zafrullah Khan was famously married to the daughter of Mirza Tahir Ahmad which ended in a quick divorce.
In 1982, Zafrullah Khan was enduring his final illness and moved back to Lahore, Pakistan and Ahmadiyya sources claim that he was living with daughter and her family. It is unclear where his ex-wife was (Badar Begum, his 3rd wife). His final marriage was in 1955, a short lived and haraam marriage, with a Lebanese girl named Bushra Rabbani, who was living in Syria at the time. Zafrullah Khan stopped in during his trip to London (we don’t know if it was coming or going)(see “Ahmadiyya Movement: British-Jewish Connections” by Bashir Ahmad [1995], pages 325-326). Thus, at the age of 63-ish, he was single and alone. He lived an additional 30 years like this and mostly in New York and different places in New York, he travelled extensively too.
He died in 1985 and was buried in Rabwah, Pakistan in Bahishti Maqbara, it is said that he gave all of his money to the Ahmadiyya Movement.
