Intro
Per Ahmadiyya sources, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was born in Bengal in 1900. However, he was never a Sufi and the appellation of that was only given to deceive the public.

In 1915, he allegedly disobeyed his father and moved to Qadian. Later, his father also accepted Ahmadiyyat and moved to Qadian.

From 1916 to 1927, Ahmadiyya sources allege that Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali attended the Islamia College Lahore. After allegedly completing his BA, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Sahib was appointed as the headmaster in a village named Ghatyalian (now in the district of Sialkot, Pakistan). Ahmadiyya sources allege that Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali

In 1928, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman arrived in Chicago on 18 August to work as the missionary-in-charge for the USA Jamaat of Qadiani-Ahmadi’s, he remained in this job until 1948. He was relieved in 1948 by Khalil Ahmad Nasir.

In 1930, he re-started the Moslem Sunrise magazine in 1930 (and was the main editor) and began managing the Ahmadiyya empire with Muhammad Yusuf Khan. In the ROR of Oct-1932 he is listed as a graduate degree holder, (M.A.). In the early-1930’s, He supported pseudo-Ahmadiyya communities in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, mostly through teaching Arabic to ex-members of the Moorish Science Temple.

In Feb-1930, via “The Los Angeles Evening Citizen News” of Tue, Feb 18, 1930 ·Page 2, Zandra is mentioned as a convert to Qadianism and his new name is Mohammed Basheer and Haider Ali is named as his private secretary. This is G.A. Zandra. Mohammed Basheer aka Zandra has tentative plans to build a mosque, he lives at 1723 North Whitley Avenue, Hollywood, Ca. Mohammed Basheer aka Zandra alleges that there are 100’s of Moslems in Southern California. However, this is pending the approval of Sufi M.R. Bengalee (the only official Ahmadiyya Maulvi in the USA in 1930), which was stated by the private secretary of Mohammed Basheer, a man named Haider Ali. Dr. Bengalee is currently in New Orleans and will return to Los Angeles on a lecture tour in March. The proposed Mosque in Los Angeles will be like the Ahmadiyya temples in Berlin and England. 

However, by 1934, the pseudo-Ahmadi’s in Pittsburgh (via Sheikh Nasir Ahmad and Saeed Akmal) quit Ahmadiyya (via the schism) and called Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali an Uncle Tom who helped exploit black people. The same schism festered in Cleveland in 1934, by 1936, Wali Akram and his flock also broke away from Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali and said bad things about him. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali returned to Qadian on 12 December 1935, and was sent back to America on 21 October 1936 (he stayed for roughly 11 months), he arrived in Chicago on Dec-10, 1936 (See the Moslem Sunrise of Aug-1937).

In March-1934, via the Cleveland Call and Post of Sat, Mar 03, 1934 ·Page 2, there is a report on the Braddock Mosque by Abdullah Eesa. There were 3 lectures last Sunday at 7pm, one by Bro Abdul Kalam on the topic of “The climax of Civilization”, Sh. Akmal (Saeed Akmal?), on the topic of “The seven thunders in the west”. On Friday evening at 7pm, there was a speech by Dr. Sufi Mutiur Rahman Bengalee which was the keynote on the topic of “The Signs of Allah”.

By 1937, all Ahmadiyya missions had shut down, only the Ahmadiyya temple/house on Wabash Ave in Chicago remained (the only property owned by the Ahmadiyya Movement in the USA). In the 1940’s there was barely any growth. By 1950, Ahmadiyya in the USA had totally failed, barely 200 members remained, 5 mission houses, NO MOSQUES. They promptly moved the headquarters of the community to Washington D.C. He became the editor or the Review of Religions in 1949 and from Rabwah.

In 1948, he moved back to Pakistan, per the approval of the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa.

He died on 30 October 1955. He passed away due to heart failure, he was roughly 55 years old. However, his wife and all 4 kids were living in the Washington D.C. Area of America (See the Moslem Sunrise of the 3rd Quarter-1975).

He seems to have a son named Lutf-ur-Rahman who hadn’t seen his father in many years when he returned in 1948, not sure which wife this was from.

Per Ahmadiyya sources, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman arrived in Chicago on 18 August 1928. He was sent to serve as the in-charge of the Ahmadiyya Mission in America on 20 May 1928.

He arrived in the USA as the only Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary. For 2 years there was no official Ahmadi missionary in the USA. He stays in the USA until 1948. Prior to him, Maulvi Muhammad Din served from 1923-1924. It is unclear as to who occupied the Ahmadiyya mission house and headquarters at 4448 Wabash Ave, Chicago. However, by Nov-1929, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman sold the mission house at Wabash and seems to have started renting a Suite at 56. East Congress St. Suite 1307 (See the ROR of Nov-Dec-1929).

In Feb-1930, via “The Los Angeles Evening Citizen News” of Tue, Feb 18, 1930 ·Page 2, Zandra is mentioned as a convert to Qadianism and his new name is Mohammed Basheer and Haider Ali is named as his private secretary. This is G.A. Zandra. Mohammed Basheer aka Zandra has tentative plans to build a mosque, he lives at 1723 North Whitley Avenue, Hollywood, Ca.

Dr. Bengalee is currently in New Orleans and will return to Los Angeles on a lecture tour in March. The proposed Mosque in Los Angeles will be like the Ahmadiyya temples in Berlin and England. 

The Los Angeles Times of Feb-18-1930 reports that an Ahmadi missioner named Mohammed Basheer was living in Hollywood (Los Angeles area, Southern California) and desired to build a mosque there to serve the immigrant Muslim community. His views on converting non-Muslims are not mentioned, nor is his Ahmadi sectarian affiliation (Qadiani or Lahori). See “Mosque of Islam May Rise Here,” Los Angeles Times, February 18, 1930, A3 (See Bowen, A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 1, White American Muslims before 1975, page 287). This was also reported in the Los Angeles Evening Post Record of Feb-18-1930 (see scan in the below) and Lincoln Nebraska State Journal of 2-27-1930 (see scans in the below).

Mohammed Basheer alleged to have live at 1723 Whitley Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90028. Interestingly, he mentioned Moorish architecture. This is important because of the connections of the Ahmadiyya Movement and Noble Drew Ali and Moorish Science Temple. Mohammed Basheer also alleged that 100’s of Muslims (Indian’s, Japanese, Chinese, Phillipino’s, Persians, Syrian’s and Egyptians) are willing to work together to get a mosque built. He also alleged that there were 226 million Muslims in the world and that the Koran was translated into 40 languages.

In July-1930, Hoffert claims that there was only 12 white Ahmadi’s in Chicago and 80-90 across the USA and specifically a Mr. G.A. Zandra (Zandra is a Greek name for a woman, short for Alexandra) in Hollywood, California. Hoffert alleges that G.A. Zandra has been lecturing for 12 years on “inspirational psychology” in larger cities of America. Hoffert alleges that in Jan-1930, Zandra wrote about lecturing over the radio and thinks he will get converts to Qadianism through the radio. Hoffert even direct quoted Zandra aka Mohammed Basheer as saying in 1929: “‘My conversion to Islam, the true faith, has given me the inspiration to establish a Hollywood Study Center…you must realize that I have been a profound student of the Al Koran and consequently it is my sincere desire to so as much as I can to stimulate interest in our beloved Ahmadiyya Movement and by organizing a local study group composed of some of the most intellectual motion picture professional people, I know that many can be converted to our cause”.

On Dec-12-1931, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali visited Indianapolis again (See Moslem Sunrise of Apr-July-1932, page 16). On December 12, 1931, Bengalee visited Hurd and some of his friends at Hurd’s Indianapolis home. “We discussed religion for four full hour’s and I was convinced of the Truth of Islam,” Hurd explained. The next day, on Dec. 13, Hurd went to the mission and officially embraced Islam. Bengalee’s visit convinced at least one White Hoosier, and perhaps more, to convert to Islam. Born in 1876, Haze Hurd was an Indianapolis carpenter who came to believe in what he regarded as the religious truths that Bengalee was teaching. As Hurd wrote in the Moslem Sunrise in 1932, “the spiritual truths that he propounded in his engaging way went straight to my heart.” Hurd liked the fact that in the Ahmadi interpretation of Islam, the founders of all world religions, including not only Judaism and Christianity but also Hinduism and Buddhism, were honored. “I found that Islam is the embodiment of all religions, purified of all the corruptions that have gathered into them,” he declared. Bengalee’s visit was important enough to attract the attention of both the Indianapolis Star and the Indianapolis Recorder. During his interviews with the Star, Bengalee emphasized the unique nature of Ghulam Ahmad: “We believe that Ahmad is the prophet of the age, and that he has brought Islam back to its original purity.” The article in the Recorder was the more critical one, emphasizing the differences between Christian and the Ahmadi Muslim teachings about Jesus. The article’s lead was, “That Christ did not die on the cross, but after his apparent death escaped and lived in old age in [the] northern part of India is the assertion of Dr. Sufi M. R. Bengalee.” The Recorder was referring to the Ahmadi belief, shared by many followers of metaphysical and esoteric groups, that Jesus had immigrated to India after the events that Christians commemorate as the Crucifixion and Easter. Bengalee also told the Recorder that believing in Islam “requires belief in the founders of all religions, including Christ, Moses, Buddha and Krishna whom he declares are common beneficiaries of mankind.”  Though not a belief shared by most Muslims around the world, this assertion was not unusual within the world of metaphysical religions, including what would become known later as New Age religion. Such religious ideas were more popular in the 1920s among Americans, of various racial backgrounds, than one might imagine. But the Recorder, which favored a more traditional Christian understanding, would have none of it, declaring that “the divinity of Jesus Christ is attacked by the Islam leader, who admits, however, that the Saviour was a prophet.” The newspaper did appreciate the fact that Bengalee preached against racial discrimination, noting his opposition to public segregation.

In Oct-1932, in the “Press of Atlantic City” of Tue, Oct 25, 1932 ·Page 7, Sufi M.R. Bengalee is mentioned in a court case which involves lawyer Robert Barclay and judge Edward B. Casey. It seems that Robert Barclay bought a book on history from a publishing house which alleged that Muhammad (saw) had 18 wives. Sufi Bengalee alleged that Muhammad (saw) had 9 wives. Professor Martin Sprengling of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago was also there and said that the data is inconclusive and the range is from 9 to 20 wives. Judge Edward B. Casey dismissed the case altogether. See also The Enid Morning News of Tue, Oct 18, 1932 ·Page 10. See also The Post-Crescent of Thu, Oct 20, 1932 ·Page 17.

“During the year, 115 lectures were delivered at various clubs, churches and societies with the number of audiences ranging between 500 and 3,000. Fifteen of these lectures focused on the life of the Holy Prophet^sa – a topic, for obvious reasons, of great importance in this day and age and the best approach in the propagation of Islam. Such absurdities are attributed to the character of the Holy Prophet^sa that the image of Islam is badly distorted; it is only through presenting to the public the true beautiful character of the Holy Prophet^sa that the allegations can be addressed.”

In the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1932/Jan-1933, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali mentions 6 missions of the Ahmadiyya Movement in the USA.

In Feb of 1934, he was in St. Paul, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali alleges that there are 3000 Ahmadi’s in the USA to the press. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was also in Cedar Rapids (See also the ROR of May-1934) and again he alleged that there are 3000 Ahmadi’s in the USA to the press. In March-1934, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was in Grand Haven (See the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1933/Jan-1934).

In the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1933/Jan-1934, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali mentions all 4 missions of the Ahmadiyya Movement in the USA. This includes the mission at 2222 Webster Ave Pittsburgh, PA, which is operated by M. Y. Khan. It also includes a location at 928 W. 7th St. Cincinatti, OH. which is ran and operated by a man named N.A. Malik (this guy is new). The 4th location in the USA has moved from 350 W. 16th St. Indianapolis, IN. to 1419 Roosevelt Ave and it is no longer operated by Brother T. Ahmad, no new name is listed.

In Feb-1934, Sufi Mutiur Rahman Bengalee M.A., Ahmadi Moslem minister and missionary in America is mentioned in the “Star Tribune” aka “The Minneapolis Tribune” of Wed, Feb 07, 1934 ·Page 7. Bengalee wrote against interest, he seems to have a typewriter. Bengalee alleged that there were 3000 converts to Ahmadiyya and 20,000 total Moslems in America.

In Feb-1934, Sufi M.R. Bengalee M.A., missionary from India and head of the Ahmadiyya Movement in the United States arrived in Cedar Rapids on Saturday and seeking converts to Ahmadiyya (called Islam). Bengalee is living at the house of James DeHook at 729 1/2 First avenue W. A man named Rex Ingram, a famous motion picture producer seems to be a member too.

In March-1934, via the Cleveland Call and Post of Sat, Mar 03, 1934 ·Page 2, there is a report on the Braddock Mosque by Abdullah Eesa. There were 3 lectures last Sunday at 7pm, one by Bro Abdul Kalam on the topic of “The climax of Civilization”, Sh. Akmal (Saeed Akmal?), on the topic of “The seven thunders in the west”. On Friday evening at 7pm, there was a speech by Dr. Sufi Mutiur Rahman Bengalee which was the keynote on the topic of “The Signs of Allah”.

In May of 1934, Dr. M. Khan is quoted in the Cleveland Call and Post of Sat, May 12, 1934 ·Page 2. This is about the activities of the Braddock Mosque.

He is mentioned in the ROR of May-1934. He alleges that 22 American’s have become Qadiani-Ahmadi’s. He is mentioned in the ROR of Aug-1934, his headquarters are in Chicago. The Moslem Sunrise of Nov-1934 alleges that Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was in Cedar Rapids on a preaching tour towards Syrian immigrants. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali alleges that Buddha, Krishna and Confucius are also prophets that Jesus died at age 120 in India and is really Yuz Asaf.

In May-1934, a photo of Sufi Bengalee and a long article appeared in “The Cedar Rapids Gazette” of Fri, May 25, 1934 ·Page 7. His name is also spelled as Sufi Mutiur Rahman Bengalee and also Sufi M.R. Bengalee. It seems that Bengali was at the famous Mosque in Cedar Rapids and gave the adhan. This is a historic mosque, one of the first ever in America and could be found at 1335 Ninth St. N.W. Cedar Rapids, IA. The mosque seems to be “towards the east” of 342 Fifth Avenue SW, Cedar Rapids, the home of Sam Allick, a Syrian grocer. Bengali seems to be showed the reporter Islamic prayer. The majority of the Moslems in Cedar Rapids are Syrian and their families are from Damascus or Jerusalem and they have forgotten Islam. Bengali and the Ahmadiyya movement saw this as an opportunity. Bengali and 4 Syrians then prayed in front of the reporter. The reporter explained how his brother is a Presbyterian missionary to the Indian lands and Bengali are similar. The newspaper explains how Bengali was sent from Qadian by the Ahmadiyya Movement founded by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, “the promised messiah and Mahdi” and expected Messenger to all nations. The present head of the Ahmadiyya Movement is Hazrat Mirza Bashir ud Din Mahmud Ahmad. Bengalee told the newspaper that Jesus died in India, Khan Yar St, Srinagar, Cashmere, India. Bengali is called the only missionary of Islam in the USA. Bengalee also commented on Islamic economics and women’s rights.

By July of 1934, Muslims in Pittsburgh had totally ousted Muhammad Yusuf Khan (See Bowen). On July 14, an important announcement was made in the religion section of the Cleveland Call and Post, the local black newspaper:

“””The leaders of Vearianue [sic], or what is better known as Imams, gathered [in Pittsburgh] and formed a council, according to the Islamic teaching. We discharged the missionary, M.Y. Khan because of his failure to carry the work on in the right way. We, the members have been successful in making connection with the Moslem League, that we may be known throughout all the Moslem World. Our lecturer will cost just about half what it has been costing. The new
missionary will be located at … Pittsburgh. His name is Abdul Mohammed Iben Akbar. For any information, please write 18 South Sickel St., Philadelphia, Pa. Shaikh Nasir Ahmad has returned back to his mission in Philadelphia. We are making wonderful progress here in Philadelphia. Unity is our aim. May Allah guide us wherever we go.”” (Cleveland Call and Post, the local black newspaper of July-14-1934, via Bowen).

The ROR of Aug-1934 reports on Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali and his tour of Cedar Rapids, “The Cedar Rapid Gazette of March-25-1934 is quoted.

In August 1934, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali who had spent most of the last few years promoting Islam to whites in cities outside of the Ohio River Valley, attempted to win back the disgruntled members in Pittsburgh (Braddock Mosque). He publicly denounced Muhammad Yusuf Khan and pleaded with the mosques that had broken off to return under his leadership. (See “Moslem Activities in Braddock,” Cleveland Call and Post, August 4, 1934, 2, via Bowen).

In Aug-1934, via the Cleveland Call and Post of Sat, Aug 4, 1934 ·Page 2, there is a report on the Braddock Mosque by Abdullah Eesa. On Sunday, July-22 at 8pm, there was a gathering at the Mosque in Pittsburgh to greet the new Imam, Bro Hakim Abdul Muhammed. Sh. Nasir Ahmad has been touring with him too. It is mentioned how Dr. Sufi M.R. Bengali came to the Braddock Mosque and denounced M.Y. Khan, called him an honorary missionary only and demanded chanda via certain policies. However, the blacks of Braddock refused. On Sunday (July-28), Bro Hakim Abdul Muhammed gave a lecture.

Muhammad Yusuf Khan seems to have fled Cleveland by Oct-1934 and in Nov-1934 he sent a letter to Wali Akram asking for travel funds (See Dannin, page 99 and 283). Akram refused!
While Muhammad Yusuf Khan was gone, the imam that he had appointed Chaudhri Mohammed Ashraf was chased from the community, then Muhammad Yusuf Khan’s possessions were seized and auctioned to repay the Muslims for the hardships they had endured on his behalf. They had even bought him a car (See Dannin). At this point, Wali Akram stepped forward and wrote letters to the 2nd Qadiani-Khalifa in Qadian and told him how much of a crook Muhammad Yusuf Khan was. This prompted the 2nd Qadiani-Khalifa in Qadian to send in Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali to try to save Ahmadiyya in Cleveland. However, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali began requesting “back fees” for all the payments of chanda that had been missed.

The Moslem Sunrise of Nov-1934 has press notices from Aug-1934 which talk about the new Ahmadiyya Mosque/Temple which opened on Wabash Ave, however, this location was still a private residence, not a purpose-built mosque. Charles Weller was there at the opening ceremony too. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali alleges that there are 6000 Moslems in Chicago, however, he doesn’t say as to how many are Qadiani’s. Brother Omar was there too. Dr. Harlan Tarbell the scammer/magician was there too. The Moslem Sunrise of Nov-1934 didn’t give any locations of Ahmadiyya centers in the USA, it was a regular feature of the magazine to list locations in the USA and abroad. However, just 10 month earlier, the Moslem Sunrise of Jan-1934, the Pittsburg branch of pseudo-Ahmadi’s was mentioned and with Muhammad Yusuf Khan as in-charge and with the famous 2222 Webster Ave, Pittsburgh, PA as the location of the mission house. In the very next issue of the Moslem Sunrise (March-1935), a new Pittsburgh location is given, 2008 Wylie Ave, Pittsburgh, PA. This evidence proves that the Ahmadiyya schism did in-fact happen in Pittsburgh in the late summer of 1934.

In Nov-1934, Sufi M.R. Bengalee M.A. is mentioned in “The Chicago Defender” of Sat, Nov 24, 1934 ·Page 2 as someone who is leading an upcoming program entitled, “Prophet Day”. This is for Sunday evening, Nov-25-1934 at the Ahmadiyya Temple on 4448 So.Wabash avenue, (written as the Ahmadiyya Moslem Mosque). Allegedly, many people will surely be in attendance.

In Jan of 1935, and from the University of Algiers, a man named G.H. Bousquet wrote a piece in the Moslem World Magazine of Jan-1935, pages 40-44, “Moslem Religious Influences in the United States”. In this essay he mentioned Bahaism in America and its successes as well as the famous Moorish Temple by Noble Drew Ali. G.H. Bousquet also mentioned how Ahmadiyya missionaries were operating in the 1930’s. G.H. Bousquet alleges that in 1933, there were 6 Ahmadiyya centers, (Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cincinatti, Indianapolis, Detroit, Kansas City). G.H. Bousquet mentions how Mufti Muhammad Sadiq started the Moslem Sunrise magazine and how it was stopped in 1924 and was re-started in 1930 by Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali, and he is operating out of State Street in Chicago. G.H. Bousquet surmises that that there are barely a few thousand Ahmadi’s in the USA, of which the vast majority on Negroes. G.H. Bousquet perfectly explains how Ahmadi’s believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is the last prophet. G.H. Bousquet calls Ahmadiyya as disingenuous and a heretical cult which denies that Muhammad (saw) is the final prophet.

On Jan 10-11, 1935, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was in Sioux City and preaching the Kufri beliefs of Ahmadiyya to the 100 Syrians who were living therein (See the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1935).

In Jan-1935, Muhammad Yusuf Khan seems to have been stuck in India, the schism continues to brew in Cleveland. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali travels to India in Dec-1935 and leaves the Chicago mission with no one in-charge. Even the Moslem Sunrise ceases to operate. While he is gone to India (1936), Wali Akram had totally leaves Ahmadiyya and had taken many pseudo-Ahmadi’s with him. At some point in 1936, while at Juma prayer, Wali Akram announced his independence from the Ahmadiyya Movement (Qadiani) in dramatic fashion, he had a dream. In roughly Oct-1936, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali heard about all of the turmoil and rushed to Cleveland where he found Wali Akram in the Mosque (mission house) giving Arabic lessons. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali yelled out that this mission house was property of the Ahmadiyya Movement and anyone not loyal to Ahmadiyya should leave, practically the whole congregation left (See Hameeda Mansur, audiotape interview by author, Cleveland, Aug-25-1990, via Dannin).

In the Moslem Sunrise of March-1935, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali mentions 8 missions of the Ahmadiyya Movement in the USA. The first being in Chicago. The second being at 1419 Roosevelt Ave Indianapolis, IN. The third at 913 Woodland Ave, Kansas City (MO). The 4th at 537 Hendrie St. Detroit (MI). The 5th at 2008 Wylie Ave, Pittsburgh, (PA). The 6th at 928 W. 7th St. Cincinatti (OH). The 7th is a new mission at 216 S. Euclid Ave, Dayton (OH). The 8th is also a new mission at 5311 Woodland Ave, Cleveland (OH).

On May-12-1935, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was in Hammond, Indiana at some Goodwill Program. On June 6th, 1935, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was in Stanley, North Dakota and looking for converts to Ahmadiyya. On Aug-9-1935, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was in Michigan City.

In one conference held on September 1, 1935, Bengalee attempted to give a practical example of favourable race relation among his converts. He introduced a white convert, Muhammad Ahmad, and a black convert, Omar Khan. The two discussed Islamic qualities concerning race relations. Perhaps, the most conspicuous was a conference at the Chicago Temple Building, attended by speakers of various religious and racial backgrounds. The conference which was entitled, “How Can We Overcome Color and Race Prejudice?” was attended by over 2000 people.^[39]

In the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1935, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali mentions 8 missions of the Ahmadiyya Movement in the USA. The first being in Chicago. The second being at 1419 Roosevelt Ave Indianapolis, IN. The third at 913 Woodland Ave, Kansas City (MO). The 4th at 537 Hendrie St. Detroit (MI). The 5th at 2008 Wylie Ave, Pittsburgh, (PA). The 6th at 928 W. 7th St. Cincinatti (OH). The 7th is a new mission at 216 S. Euclid Ave, Dayton (OH). The 8th is also a new mission at 5311 Woodland Ave, Cleveland (OH).

The Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1935 has an essay from a famous magician/scammer named Dr. Harlan Tarbell. In this essay, he mentions how Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali has been his neighbor for the past 7 years. This seems to be next door to the famous Ahmadiyya temple on Wabash in Chicago. He alleges to have visited the Ahmadiyya center on Sep-8 (the year is unknown, seems like 1935). He claims that a man named Abdur Rahman recited the Quran and then a female Ahmadi (sister Fatima) began talking. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali then began his speech. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali talked about his involvement in the”Conference of Religions”, during Chicago’s Second World Fair, June-Nov-1933 and how the Ahmadiyya Movement is working towards solving the issues of race in America. An African-American convert named Omar Khan spoke next, he was followed by a white Moslem, Muhammad Ahmad, his wife is also mentioned, they don’t clarify if she is an Ahmadi or not. Charles F. Weller was allegedly there too and made some strange comments about actually being a Muslim. Dr. Harlan Tarbell spoke also.

He gained such popularity and fame in America that the country’s press was buzzing with his eloquent lectures. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali returned to Qadian on 12 December 1935, and was sent back to America on 21 October 1936 (he stayed for roughly 11 months), he arrived in Chicago on Dec-10, 1936 (See the Moslem Sunrise of Aug-1937). By 1937, all Ahmadiyya missions had shut down, only the Ahmadiyya temple/house on Wabash Ave in Chicago remained. In the 1940’s there was barely any growth. By 1950, Ahmadiyya in the USA had totally failed, barely 200 members remained, 5 mission houses, NO MOSQUES. They promptly moved the headquarters of the community to Washington D.C.

1937

In the Aug-1937 edition of the Moslem Sunrise, Titus Smith (aka Noorul Islam) wrote an essay entitled, “Activities of Ahmadiyya Moslem Mosque in Chicago”. He explains how most Ahmadi’s in Chicago are new members, this seems to be referring to the schism which caused lots of African-American’s to leave Ahmadiyya and search for an alternative cult which mixed the Bible with the Quran. He also mentions how Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali had been gone for almost a year and returned to Chicago on Dec-10-1936. Titus Smith (aka Noorul Islam) also mentions how Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali brought his wife and 9-year old daughter. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali’s wife was pregnant when they arrived and the baby came soon thereafter, most likely Jan. of 1937. Moreover, Titus Smith (aka Noorul Islam) alleges that meetings are held 4 times a week, Juma is held every Friday, members are meeting for congregation prayers only 3 times a week, classes on Islam are held simultaneously. Similar activities are held in Ahmadiyya centers in Kansas City, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

Via the Moslem Sunrise of Feb-1938, allegedly, “Prophet’s Day” was held on Oct-31, 1937 in Chicago by Ahmadi’s (this essay is by Nina Stauffer). It is also alleged that similar “Prophet’s Day” events were held at other Ahmadiyya centers in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Kansas City. Nina Stauffer alleges that this was held at the Ahmadiyya Mosque/temple on Wabash Ave with Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali as the chairman. A Syrian Muslim (not an Ahmadi), Mr. Saleem Nimar recited the Quran. Omar Khan (previously written as Brother Omar) was the first speaker and was called the “President” of the Ahmadi’s in Chicago. Thereafter, Omar Cleveland (white man) gave a lecture. Dr. Tarbell was there too.
