In 1913, Howard Arnold Walter travelled to Kashmir and inquired about the tomb of Yuz Asaf. In 1914, he wrote “Islam in Kashmir” in the Moslem World magazine. The ROR of Nov-1915 reviews his article that appeared in the “Young Men of India”. The ROR of Dec-1915 has an article by him entitled, “Devotional Readings in the Quran”. He was also conducting research on Ahmadiyya in this era. From 1916-1918, H. A. Walter seems to have written this in-depth biography of the Ahmadiyya Movement, he was in Qadian and spoke to the Khalifa and was advised in terms of the beliefs of MGA. It was published in roughly Oct-Nov of 1918 (See the preface, which signs off at 10-10-1918, Walter died just 3 weeks later). This book was edited Farquhar, who had written about the Ahmadiyya Movement in 1914-1915 and was published.

In this book, he tells the world that while he was in Mohallah Khan Yar in the summer of 1913. He visited the tomb (and seems like he didn’t read the research work on Weitbrecht) and asked many questions. He says that Muslims told him that this house (gravesite) was in possession of the Hindu’s/Buddhist’s until Shia Islam came via Bulbul Shah. Walter then writes that this is the tomb that MGA said was miraculously revealed to him. Walter also explained how Hindu temples were being destroyed in Kashmir. In the 1990’s, Mirza Tahir Ahmad began casting doubt on the Yuz Asaf theory, and thus, by 2021, Ahmadi’s are calling it mere conjecture by MGA.

On Jan-24-1898, MGA and his team of writers published “Kitab ul Barriya” (See Maulvi Muhammad Ali in 1915, “Prophethood in Islam“, page 536)(A Brief Sketch of my life, 1898). It is available in English by the Lahori-Ahmadi’s herein (this is a partial translation, many controversial pages are missing). In this book, MGA tells many lies about his family history, see here for that full essay. Then listen to Dr. Syed Holy Spirit explain this scenario herein.

In Kitab-ul-Barriya (A brief sketch of my life)(1898), MGA tells the world that he was born in Qadian in the “last days” of Ranjit Singh, who died on June-27-1839. This actually totally lines up with MGA alleging that he was born in either 1839 or 1840 (see the “Age “Prophecy” essay for full refs)(See Kitab-ul-Bariyyah, RK, v-13, p. 177, footnote).MGA said that in 1857, I was 16 or 17 years of age and had not grown a beard or mustache yet. (Qadianis translated this is “reached manhood”). This would totally match up with MGA’s utterances in 1892 (see Nishan asmani {1892}, page 14–17). Thus, uptil 1898, MGA was alleging to have been born in 1839 or 1840. It was after 1898 when Ahmadi editors started working on changing MGA’s age. 33 pages of Kitab-al-Barriya can be found in Essense of Islam, Vol. 4, pages 1-17, which covers [Kitab-ul-Bariyyah, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 13, pp. 162-195, footnote].

MGA also specifically lied about Qadian being a fortress wherein some of the walls were 22 feet high, and so wife that 3 carts could easily move in it, similar to the great wall of China. MGA also claimed that a mosque of the family was converted into a Sikh temple, and that there was a library that contained 500 old Quranic manuscripts, which was burnt. MGA claimed that his grandfather, Mirza Gul Muhammad lived 100 learned religious men, every one of these workers, even the women read the 5 daily prayers. However, these are all lies. Factually, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s father (Mirza Ghulam Murtaza) never even read his prayers in his whole life and he lived in Qadian before the Sikhs invaded. Similarly, MGA and his family lied to Lepel Griffin in the 1865 (and subsequent editions) edition of the Punjab Chiefs and claimed to be royalty, whereas in reality, they were poor farmers. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad even claimed that a minister of the Mughal Empire, named Ghias al-Daula came to Kadian. However, this name doesn’t exist in the history of the Mughal’s.

In 1897-1898 (See Kitab ul Barriya), MGA and his team of writers, alleged that Ibn Arabi had written that Jesus will descend but in the sense that he will be associated with a different body (See page 19, Lahori-Ahmadi abridged translation), and that he died (see page 34, Lahori-Ahmadi abridged translation) MGA and his team referenced page 262 (see a document by the Qadiani’s) of a commentary written by Ibn Arabi, however, this seems to be Tafsir-i-Kashani by Abd al-Razzaq Kāshānī. Tafsir Kashani can also be found online at Al-Tafsir.com. Tafsir Kashani was also printed under the title “Tafseer ibn Arabi” (see online herein).

A paragraph of this book appeared in the ROR of Oct-1912. Padre Imad ud Din is briefly mentioned in this book.

Listen to Zia Rasul explaining this entire story herein. Then listen to Dr. Syed Holy Spirit explain this scenario herein. In Kitab-ul-Barriya (A brief sketch of my life)(1898).

Sayyad Nasr-ud-Din (also spelled Syed Naseer ud Din or Syed Nasr-ud Din) is a descendant of the the eighth Imam in Twelver Shia Islam, Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha. Sayyad Nasr-ud-Din came to Kashmir via the the Shia-invasion (see the Shah-Mir Dynasty) happened roughly in 1381-1561 (see the court case of 1770 as translated by Fida Hassnain). Nevertheless, during the Shah-Mir Dynasty, it seems that Syed Nasir ud Din came to Kasmir and died therein, he was also a Shia-sufi. The Shah Durrani empire took over next and ruled from roughly 1561 until 1751 the Mughal empire took over Kashmir and had a hardline policy towards the Shia’s. This was followed by the Shah Durrani empire. They wrote about the tomb of Syed Nasir ud Din and claimed it was also called “Yuz Asaf”. The Sikh’s took over in 1820 and didn’t give up Kashmir until 1947.

It seems that all the stories about Sayyad Nasr-ud-Din were total fabrications by Shia’s as they were trying to get their tombs saved from demolition during the reign of the Mughal empire. By claiming that this tomb was from the Hindu-Buddhist era, they were able to save it. Thus, the descendants of Sayyad Nasr-ud-Din were able to keep this housing complex in their control.

Read Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht letters on this topic, i.e., “The Truth About The Tomb of Yus Asaf known as Rauza Sahib Srinagar” and “The Srinagar tomb of Sayyad Nasr-ud-Din”.

After visiting the tomb of Sayyad Nasr-ud-Din aka Yuz Asaf, Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht wrote an anonymous letter that was published in the Epiphany of April 11th, 1903. The title of that essay was “The Truth About The Tomb of Yus Asaf known as Rauza Sahib Srinagar”. This evoked a response by the Review of Religions. After this exchange, Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht wrote another letter to the Epiphany which was published on June 27th, 1903, that letter was entitled
“The Srinagar tomb of Sayyad Nasr-ud-Din”. The ROR of Nov-Dec-1903 gave a few direct quotes, we have posted them in the below.

Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht explains how he went to Mohalla Khanyar, in Srinagar, Kashmir in the early part of 1903. He asked the locals about the tomb of Yuz Asaf and etc. Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht proved that there was no one buried in the alleged tomb of Yuz Asaf. The only person buried there is Syed Naseer ud Din, the other casket is a fake. Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht accused Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the Ahmadiyya Movement of academic dishonesty.  He comments the building itself is less than 200 years old (see the direct quotes in the below). The editors of the ROR then forget that there are lots of Shia’s in Kashmir, and in-fact, the Shia-invasion (see the Shah-Mir Dynasty) happened roughly in 1381-1561. Nevertheless, during the Shah-Mir Dynasty, it seems that Syed Nasir ud Din came to Kasmir and died therein, he was also a Shia-sufi. The Shah Durrani empire took over next and ruled from roughly 1561 until 1751 the Mughal empire took over Kashmir and had a hardline policy towards the Shia’s.

In the early 2000’s, Suzanne Olsson was told that the Yuz Asaf casket was in-fact empty, it was thus always a fake casket. Thus, her attempts at DNA work were totally thwarted. Nevertheless, Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht seems to have gotten entangled with Ahmadiyya in 1888 initially, (see Dard) then again in 1902 over the plague and then 1903 over the Yuz Asaf theory. He wrote an anonymous letter to the Epiphany newspaper of April 11th, 1903(entitled “The Truth About The Tomb of Yus Asaf known as Rauza Sahib Srinagar”). At the time, it was unknown as to who wrote it. Nevertheless, Ahmadi’s were able to get their refutation published in the Epiphany. The ROR of May-1903 quotes the anonymous comments of Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht in terms of the building wherein Syed Nasr ud Din is buried (and the empty casket of Yuz Asaf). He comments the building itself is less than 200 years old (see the direct quotes in the below). This prompted Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht to admit to being the author of the anonymous letter. Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht wrote a fresh letter to the Epiphany of June 27th, 1903 (entitled, “The Srinagar tomb of Sayyad Nasr-ud-Din”). He goes on to explain that he went to Mohalla Khanyar, in Srinagar, Kashmir in the early part of 1903. He asked the locals about the tomb of Yuz Asaf and etc. Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht proved that there was no one buried in the alleged tomb of Yuz Asaf. The only person buried there is Syed Naseer ud Din. Reverend H.U. Weitbrecht accused Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the Ahmadiyya Movement of academic dishonesty.

After MGA and his team of writers made the crazy claim that Eisa (as) died in Kashmir at the age of 120. It seems that MGA and his team sent letter to the Al-Hilal magazine in terms of Eisa (As) = Yuz Asaf. Ahmadiyya sources quote it in the May-1903 edition of the ROR. The Al-Hilal magazine (arabic only) of Egypt also wrote that MGA was dishonest as he connected Yuz Asaf to Esa (As). Al-Hilal [meaning The Crescent in English] is a monthly Egyptian cultural and literature magazine. It was started in 1892 and seems to have been friends with the Ahmadi’s of Qadian. There was another al-Hilal magazine out of India, see herein.

In 1895, via MGA’s book Satt Bachan, Dr. Gursharanjit Singh alleges that MGA claimed to be the second coming of Baba Guru Nanak in a punjabi pamphlet named “Pargana Batala da guru”, this seems to be an ahmadiyya publication. Listen to Dr. Gursharanjit Singh’s explanation herein (1:05:34 mark). He mentions how MGA and his team of writers quoted an inauthentic Sikh book wherein it was written that Baba Guru Nanak would return. MGA also claimed to be the second coming of Buddha, Krishna, Confucius, Zoroaster, Guru Nanak, Ahmadi’s also believe in the Mormon prophets. MGA is also considered the second coming of Lord Maitreyah. Socrates is also considered a prophet (invented by Mirza Tahir Ahmad in the 1990’s). Also check out this expose’ of MGA and Sikhism. They have also made a video.

In 1906 (Jan), it was alleged that in Dec-1905 (last week of Dec), MGA was asked by an Arya gentleman about Baba Nanak and MGA said we consider Baba Nanak to be an avatar and a saint among Hindus and consider him to be a holy man. So, while we already believe in your
aim, we do not need to debate with you (See Malfuzat-8, online English edition, page 335, Badr, vol. 2, no. 3, p. 6, dated 19 January 1906).

In 1906 (Feb), MGA was asked about Baba Nanak and the wisdom behind him not openly converting to Islam. MGA said that the Chola [Cloak] of Baba Nanak and his association with Muslims and all other matters clearly indicate that Baba Nanak was a Muslim. However, not revealing himself in this manner also carries in itself great wisdom; for, had he cut all ties and openly joined the Muslims in this manner, he would have been left alone. As opposed to this, now he is a Muslim together with a vast group of several hundred thousand people (See Malfuzat-8, online English edition, page 350, via Badr, vol. 2, no. 8, p. 2, dated 23 February 1906).

In 1906, Ahmadiyya sources allege that a Sikh asked MGA about Baba Nanak, MGA said that Baba Nanak was a Muslim and used to pray. MGA said that the Sikhs made a great mistake by abandoning the religion of their Guru and following absurd things and have developed relations with the idolatrous Hindus. The Sikh then allegedly that Baba Nanak prayed and that a person who does not pray is a dog and that one should get up early in the morning, perform ablution and pray (See Malfuzat-8, online English edition, page 446, via Badr, vol. 2, no. 42, p. 4, dated 18 October 1906).

This was re-iterated in the English ROR of Oct-Nov-1919 and the ROR of May-Jun-July-1919 written by Maulvi Sher Ali.

The ROR of Jan-1927 has an essay on Baba Nanak also.

The Quran clearly tells us that Allah only sends Messengers (Rasul) speaking the language of their people. Messengers are Prophets who are sent to a specific people (see 14:4 [14:5 in the Qadiani Quran] of the Quran). For example, Muhammad (Saw) was given revelations and he spoke Arabic. Eisa (As) spoke Aramaic and got revelations in Aramaic. Thus, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad should have gotten revelations in Punjabi, since this was his mother language, furthermore, he should have been sent to his own people, i.e. the Punjabi people. However, MGA barely converted any Sikhs, and in fact, had barely 4-5 revelations in Punjabi. The majority of the MGA revelations were in Urdu. Thus, MGA fails the Quranic criteria for a prophet. MGA got his first ever revelation in Punjabi in 1903. MGA never wrote any books in Punjabi. By 2021, on alislam.org, there are barely 5-6 books of MGA that have been translated into Punjabi. MGA also had the punjabi angel, Tichi Tichi.

Syed Dr. Holy Spirit has explained the fact that MGA can’t be prophet based on this verse of the Quran, 14:4), see herein. Syed Dr. Holy Spirit explains how MGA’s language was Punjabi, the language of the Sikh’s is Punjabi. MGA only wrote one book (Satt Bachan) about Guru Baba Nanak, wherein he claimed to be the second coming of Baba Guru Nanak.

In 2024, layman Ahmadi’s argued with Bro Imtiaz on 14:4 (14:5 in the Qadiani Quran).
