Wali Akram alleges that Sheikh Ahmad Din (and aka Fahamme Rasool) was using a fake accent (See Dannin, page 96) to get converts in St. Louis in 1923 when he met him. Sheikh Ahmad Din was also lying and claiming that his father was an Arab and his mother was black. He eventually quit Ahmadiyya and became a prophet (by at least 1930) for his own flock of followers in his Fahamme Temple religion, he died in 1954 as an ex-Qadiani. Check out the Ahmadiyya version of their history in St. Louis herein.

Dannin alleges (see page 280) that in 1919, The Ethiopian Temples of Islam was founded in St. Louis by Professor Paul Nathaniel Johnson. One summer evening (in 1922?) while walking in down town St. Louis, MO, Paul Nathaniel Johnson came upon a gentleman speaking on a soap box.  It was common in those days for evangelist to stand upon a soap box and speak to the people as they moved through the streets.  On this particular day, the person of note was a gentleman by the name of Dr. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq of Qadian, Punjab, India, the first Moslem Missionary to America, representing the Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad, head of the Ahmadia Movement in Islam, which was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.

After hearing Dr. Mufti speak, Paul N. Johnson told him that what he said was not completely correct. Upon being challenged, Dr. Mufti gave the standard Islamic response. Can you do better? Paul Johnson as he was known at that time, replied yes. Dr. Mufti offered him the platform of which Mr. Johnson accepted and preceded to teach the lesson without fault. Dr. Mufti then asked Mr. Johnson how did he know what he knew. Mr. Johnson’s reply was, “I don’t know, I just know”, it was at that time that Dr. Mufti offered him an opportunity. The Rasool accepted, was appointed Shiekh and given the name Ahmad Din. A title and name that the Rasool revered even after he developed into further knowledge and understanding of his own mission.

He appears in the Moslem Sunrise of July-1922 (see page 119), he was the first ever African-American to become an Ahmadi missionary (Sheikh)(however, and without going to Jamia). He appears again in the Moslem Sunrise of Apr. & July 1923 and his work in St. Louis is highlighted. In St. Louis, his best student was the famous Ex-Ahmadi Wali Akram (in Cleveland), who went on to create a legacy of Islam in Cleveland through over 100 grandchildren (See Dannin).

His sales pitch to the Negro in America:

“””As Salaam Alaikum! Peace Be Unto You, Brothers and Sisters! Bisimillah ar Rahman ar Rahim! Blessed Be Our Lord, Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful! Listen here! There is no such thing as a Negro race. Black people live all over the world but they are not branded as Negroes. Get back your religion and your original names. Your natural language is Arabic! Get back your religion, the religion of Islam, and stop being a Negro! Allah-uAkbar! God is Great! Prayers are organized like clockwork in Islam. Five per day. Every day. Would you like to see? Follow me back to the prayer hall!””” (See Dannin, page 96). 

The Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1923 alleges that Brother Shaikh Ahmad Din is working out of 22 N. Compton Ave, St. Louis, MO. His missionary center seems to be at 2658 Olive St. The Moslem Sunrise of Jan-1924 alleges he is a missionary and working out of St. Louis. He has a poem and an essay in this edition too. He is also mentioned on page 33 and is alleged to have converted 25-30 people to Qadianism in this recent cycle. The Moslem Sunrise of Apr-1924 alleges that Ahmad Din is working out of St. Louis at 2658 Olive St. St. Louis, MO, they even has a photo of him therein. He also wrote an essay arguing pro-polygamy. He is mentioned in the ROR of May-1925 and incorrectly written that this is J.L. Mott. Nevertheless, he is working out of St. Louis and reporting converts. The ROR of Jan-1926 has a letter by him about his work in St. Louis. The 2nd Khalifa’s response is also given, the letter is dated Oct-10-1925 and the 2nd Khalifa says that he hasn’t heard from Ahmadi’s in the USA for quite a while. Interestingly, Dannin tells us that Sheikh Ahmad Din converted Wali Akram to Ahmadiyya in 1925 in St. Louis.

There were many others who were grandfathered in and made Sheikh’s by Ahmadi Maulvi’s (by Muhammad Yusuf Khan?, not Sufi Bengali or Mufti Muhammad Sadiq), they are Sheikh Ashiq Ahmad, Wali Akram (not sure who made him a sheikh), Sheikh Nasir Ahmad and Saeed Akmal of Pittsburgh, Ahmad Omar of Braddock, Abdullah Malik of Columbus, Ahmad Rasool of Dayton, and Shareef Ali of Cincinnati. However, Sheikh Ahmad Din was the first ever African-American to become an Ahmadi missionary (Sheikh)(however, without going to jamia). Rev. BD Sutton, who became the enthusiastic Ahmadiyya preacher Sheikh Abdus Salam, had been one of at least 40 pan-Africanist Garveyites that joined the movement following Sadiq’s five lectures to the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Detroit. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq writes that Ahmad Din “had been busy in bringing others to the fold of Islam”. (The Moslem Sunrise, Issue 2-3, 1923, p. 190). Sheikh Ahmad told the St Louis Dispatch, “We must worship God alone. Christ is worshipped by many as the Son of God. He is but a prophet. He did not die on the cross. He was taken down from it, revived and carried to Srinagar.” (The Post Dispatch, “Negroes Taught Arabic By Olive Street Sheikh”, 16 July 1923, p. 21). Sheikh Ahmad Din is also mentioned on page 167 as working out of St. Louis.

In the May-1925 edition of the ROR, he claims to have converted 200 people to Qadianism, it is also listed that he is an imam out of St. Louis. In the January-1926 edition of the ROR, a letter he wrote to Khalifa is published. He claims that he converted to Ahmadiyya under Mufti Muhammad Sadiq. Another Ahmadi mullah, Maulvi Muhammad Din was working in the USA until 1924 and was replaced with Sufi Mutiur Rahman Bengalee worked from 1928–1948.

Some African American converts emerged as prominent missionaries of the Community. For example, Sheikh Ahmad Din (formerly known as P. Nathanial Jonson), who formerly may have been a Freemason or a member of the Moorish Science Temple, was appointed as a missionary in St. Louis, Missouri (see Turner). Din is said to have acquired roughly 100 converts in the city. J. H. Humpharies, one of Din’s converts, became an active missionary of the Ahmadiyya Community himself, after becoming disillusioned with Christianity. Humpharies was a Belgian-Congolese immigrant who studied at the Tuskegee Institute for the evangelical Protestant ministry (see Turner). In the early 1950’s, Rashid Ahmad was also made a semi-sheikh by the Ahmadiyya Movement, he didn’t graduate from Jamia either. In fact, it was Azhar Haneef went through Jamia from 1983 to 1989 and failed too, nevertheless, he was made a Maulvi of Ahmadiyya Movement.

The 1925 Jalsa at Qadian was reported in the February-1926 edition of the ROR. The Ahmadiyya Community claimed that 11,111 people attended. Maulvi Farzand Ali was there and gave a speech. Mir Muhammad Ishaq was there, he mostly managed the finances of the Jalsa, as was, Qasim Ali, Muhammad Yusuf, Maulavi Syed Sarwar Shah, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, Hafiz Raushan Ali, Abdur Rahman, Fateh Muhammad Sial, Abdur Rahim Nayyar, Khalil Ahmad, Hafiz Raushan Ali, Zafrullah Khan and Mirza Sharif Ahmad.

The Ahmadiyya Movement alleges that the speeches of the 2nd Khalifa were converted into book format and published in 1926 as “Minhajut Talibeen” (Way of the Seekers). In this speech, the 2nd Qadiani Khalifa told Ahmadi’s that they can’t cuss at people the way that MGA did.

The Civil and Military Gazette of Dec-30-1925 (wednesday) reports that Maulvi Abdul Rahim Nayyar thanked the British government for giving them the same protection that the Christians enjoyed. The newspaper was told that 12k Ahmadi’s attended. 3000 Ladies attended the ladies conference also (see the scans in below).

The London Mosque fund was started in 1910 by a group of deviant pseudo Muslims like the Aga Khan. This same group of people began working at the Woking Mosque in 1913 with Khwaja Kamaluddin. By 1920 a well known British agent and fake Muslim named Khalid Sheldrake secretly funded this Qadiani-Ahmadi temple (aka The Fazl Mosque, London) (Art and culture website and a few others). However, the Qadiani-Ahmadi lied about this and alleged that Ahmadi women gave their jewelry.

Before the building of the Fazl Mosque, London, the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s were using various prayer hall areas on Melrose Ave. The March-1920 edition of the ROR reports the Ahmadiyya headquarters at: 4 Star St , Edgware Road, London, W.2. That all changed when the Khalifa visited in 1924. It’s a mystery as to how the Khalifa had so much money to purchase such an expensive property. The Fazl Mosque became the second mosque in all of the UK, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s were operating the Woking Mosque until the 1960’s. At the same time, the Khalifa was claiming to have enough money to build a temple in Berlin, Germany, which failed and caused all Ahmadi mullahs to leave the country, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s got theirs built however and it still stands. The Khalifa lied and claimed that the women of the Qadiani-Ahmadi community gave the money, which is impossible. By the end of 1924, the Khalifa and Maulvi Mubarak Ali and others returned to British-India.

It is also known as The London Mosque, is the first purpose-built mosque in London, England. It was opened on 23 October 1926 in Southfields, Wandsworth (See the ROR of Feb-1947). At a cost of £6,223, the construction of the mosque and the purchase of the land on which it stands. The ROR of December-1926 shows a photo of the architect, the contractor and a few ahmadi mullah’s, Mr. H. Roffey (the contractor) is pictured on the left, next to an ahmadi mullah, Maulvi G.P. Malik. On the right is Mr. J. Oliphant (the architect) and A.R. Dard, an ahmadi mullah. Thomas Mawson is said to be the designer. The ROR of October-1926 tells us that King Faisal was requested to conduct the opening ceremony, however, he was indisposed.

In 1935, Sir Hubert Stewart-Rankin, the 36-year-old leader President of the British Muslim Society has resigned. Sir Hubert Stweart-Rankin tried to get a resolution passed wherein Ahmadi’s would be barred from joining this organization. However, this resolution was shot down, since most of the executive committee and secretaries were Ahmadi. After the resolution was shot down, Sir Hubert walked out. Sir Hubert alleged that he would be starting a new organization. This seems to be referring to the Lahori-Ahmadi’s and their leader, Maulvi Muhammad Ali. Khalid Sheldrake is also mentioned, as well as his short lived, “Western Islamic Association”, of which Sheldrake is the President and Sir Hubert the Vice President. The newspaper alleges that there are roughly 10k Muslims in the UK, of which 90%+ are Indian sailors. The Aga Khan is trying to build a mosque at South Shields. The newspaper also acknowledges that there are 2 mosques in London in 1935, the Qadiani’s at Southfields and the Lahori-Ahmadi’s at the Woking.

In 1955, the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa visited London for the second time. He led the Eid-ul-Adha prayer at the Fazl Mosque, on 30 July 1955. This was the first-ever Eid at the Fazl Temple, led by a Khalifatul Masih and also the first-ever Eid-ul-Adha led in Europe by a Khalifatul Masih. The total attendance was around 500, including various non-Muslim dignitaries, such as a Soviet attaché Mr Ivan Skripov, ambassadors of Argentina, Chile, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic; and Shaw Desmond (1877-1960) – an Irish author, spiritualist, and founder of the International Institute of Psychical Research. Moreover, Ald E Whitlock conveyed the greetings of the Wandsworth Rotary Club as well. This speech was reproduced in the Muslim Sunrise of the 4th-Quarter-1955.

In 2026, Maulvi Raheel Ahmad was an episode of “This week with Hujoor”, Mirza Masroor Ahmad openly criticized Maulvi Raheel Ahmad and his management on the 100-year anniversary of the Fazl Mosque-temple in 2024. Mirza Masroor Ahmad said that some of the neighbors didn’t even know about the event, nor did they know about the history of the Fazl Mosque-temple.

Mirza Farid Ahmad (born in 1951 at Rabwah), also spelled Mirza Fareed Ahmad is a son of the 3rd Khalifa, Mirza Nasir Ahmad. When his father was the Khalifa, he ran wild at Rabwah, he committed high levels of fraud and many other things, see the testimony of Affaf Azhar herein (at the 16:00 mark).

Maulvi F. R. Hakeem (written as Hakim Fadl-ur-Rahman by Fisher, see page 108) first shows up in Ahmadiyya history as a missionary sent to West Africa (Nigeria)(Gold Coast) in 1922, in fact, Nayyar had asked for assistance from Qadian. Before Maulvi F. R. Hakeem, it was Nayyar who made in-roads in West Africa on behalf of the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s. In the ROR of Nov-1933, Maulvi F. R. Hakeem claims that he left Qadian on January 23rd, 1922 and arrived in Lagos, Nigeria in April of 1922. He returned to Qadian on Jan-27-1930. He is also mentioned in the ROR of Dec-1989, however, there seem to be many errors about his life therein.

By 1923, 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.

His second tour happened in 1929-1931-ish (see Fisher), he returned to Ghana in 1933 (See ROR of Nov-1933). On his second tour, he first travelled from India to London with another Ahmadi imam (dard), they were on the SS Narkunda. They arrived in London on Feb-18, 1933.

He seems to have been relieved by another Ahmadi Mullah, Maulana Nazir Ahmad Ali, technically, he spent only the year of 1936 in Ghana and moved over to Sierra Leone, wherein he was the first ever permanent Ahmadi mullah on the scene (See Fisher). Fadl-ul-Rahman worked as the missionary in-charge of Ghana from 1935 to 1947.

He was there when the controversy with Imam Ajose happened (early 1930’s) and a split ensued and also when Jibril Martin seceded with his own group (early to mid 1930’s) of Ahmadi’s who were disloyal to the Khalifa, the matter even went to court and was decided on (see Fisher).

A man named Maulvi Muhammad Afzal Qureshi came to work in British-West-Africa (aka Nigeria) with Maulvi F.R. Hakeem left in 1946 (see Fisher). He was made a resident Missionary based in the North between 1946 and 1951 and he shuttled between Zaria and Kano during the period. He was the only white man riding on a bicycle with a galloping turban which always attracted the admiration of children who usually followed him for a long distance while he was on his way to the preaching venue. Another Ahmadi missionary showed up, Naseem Saifi, he would end up being in-charge until the 1970‘s.

He goes totally missing in the history of Ahmadiyya after 1949-1951. Fisher reports that he died in Lahore on 28 August, 1955 (see Fisher page 108).

About a month ago, Mufti Muneer Ahmed Akhoon did an interview wherein he told the world how he dreamed and saw the fate of Ghamidi and the Ahmadiyya movement. Enjoy!

He says he saw a speech by Mirza Tahir Ahmad talking about he ending of prophethood (33:40). He discusses the strategy of ilzami jawab. He did a program about 5-6 months wherein he discussed the Qadiani-Ahmadi ilzami jawab allegations wherein Deobandi’s are accused of doing Takfir to Qasim Nanotwi and Barelvi’s.

Not to be confused with Maulvi Mubarak Ali, who was from Sialkot and who’s father was MGA’s teacher. This Maulvi Mubarak Ali was a Bengali man (born in 1881) who left Islam and joined Ahmadiyya in 1909. The ROR of July-1920 reports he seems to have been working as a headmaster in Chittagong Madrassa, British-India (modern day Bangladesh) and it was proposed that he get sent to West Africa as a missionary for the Ahmadiyya Movement (Qadiani). The ROR of July-1920 reports that he had a B.A. and a B.T., he never attended any formal missionary training. Via the ROR of Nov-1920, Maulvi Mubarak Ali had just arrived in the UK and is set to be transferred to Nigeria (West Africa). His journey to Nigeria was delayed for various reasons, it was decided that he should remain in London and work there, until 1922. Via the ROR of October-1921, on August 14th-1921, Mubarak Ali gave the Eid Khutbah for the London Ahmadi’s at their mission house on Melrose. He is also mentioned in the ROR of July-1921, it is alleged that he is giving speeches at Hyde Park. The March-1921 edition mentions that he is working in London. The ROR mentions how he is working in and around the London area. The September edition also mentions his work. The June-July-Aug edition of the ROR reports that he is working in London with an Ahmadi named Azeez ud Din. It is also written how Maulvi Mubarak Ali gave the 2nd Khalifa’s book, “A Present to His Royal Highness – The Prince of Wales” to 9 leading newspapers. The March-April-May edition also mentions him and his work around London. He is working out of the Ahmadiyya mission house on Melrose, Southfields, London.

He ended up becoming the pioneer missionary sent to Germany. In Germany he faced lots of opposition from Muslims, who called Ahmadi’s agents of the British and scoffed at the Ahmadiyya attempt to build a mosque. The Ahmadiyya Movement was claiming to have substantial money on-hand to pay for the building of the Ahmadiyya temple. Later in the year 1923, Malik Ghulam Farid also arrived with his wife and young son in Berlin to support Maulvi Mubarak Ali. In 1924, both missionaries published a booklet called Refuting the Allegation that the Members of the Ahmadiyya Movement are a Spearhead of British Imperialism, in which they replied to the attacks of opponents such as Mansur Rifat. Maulvi Mubarak Ali and Malik Ghulam Farid left Germany. Both had also attended the famous Wembley Conference of Religions in 1924, and Maulvi Mubarak Ali left at the end of the same year. He went back to India where he pursued a successful career as a teacher. He was later appointed the Amir of the Bengal province and is to this date held in high esteem as a result of his piety. The German Mission itself was closed due to a lack of funds; a decision made after a discussion in the Majlis-e-Shura [Consultative Body of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community] of 1924. It was decided that for the time being, London should be established as the main European Mission.

The Ahmadiyya temple project was totally cancelled. For 30 years, there would be no Ahmadiyya temple in Germany. However, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s got theirs built. The Qadiani-Ahmadi mullahs also left Germany and didn’t return for 30 years. It should be noted that the Lahori-Ahmadi’s were able to start their Berlin Mosque in 1923 and officially open it in 1925.

By 2022, we estimate that there are barely 20 Ahmadi’s in Japan. There is only one Ahmadi mullah working in the country (@Aneesnadeem). Ahmadiyya sources claim that the first ever missionary was Sufi Abdul Qadeer aka A.Q. Niaz, who arrived in 1935. In 1937, he was arrested and even kept a female maid (see ROR of May-1938). He left Japan in June of 1938 and was not replaced.

For about 40 years, the mission went no where. From 1975 to 1983, the famous Ataul Mujeeb Rashed was sent to serve in Japan, he was able to secure a mission house in 1981.

By 1979, the Ahmadiyya Movement was claiming to have 2 mission houses in the country.

In 2015, the Ahmadiyya Movement opened its first ever mosque in Japan, Baitul Ahad -The Japan Mosque.

By 2022, there are barely 50 Ahmadi’s in Japan and Anees Nadeem Sahib is the President and Missionary-in-charge Jamaat Japan.

In Feb-2026, the only Ahmadiyya employee in Japan, Maulvi @AneesReisu met with @GiladCohen_ (a jew).
