Intro
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. You can listen to Zia Rasul’s video on Aqa Ka Ghulam.
He 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). His family converted to Ahmadiyya in 1904, while MGA and his team were in Sialkot (See ROR of July-1942).
It 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. Zafarullah Khan held the office of Ameer (president) of the Lahore, Pakistan chapter of the Ahmadiyya Community from 1919 to 1935. The Jan-Feb-1919 edition of the ROR reports that Zafrullah Khan presided over many sessions at the Islamia College as the 2nd Khalifa allegedly gave speeches.
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. By 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). 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.
