Intro
He was a Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary and sent to the USA wherein he served from 1928 to 1948. He was relieved in 1948 by Khalil Ahmad Nasir. At that point, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali returned to modern day Pakistan. The Ahmadiyya Movement claims that he held the M.A. Degree, however, this is most likely a lie. He mostly worked out of State street in Chicago, illinois. He was also the main editor with the Moslem Sunrise. The Moslem Sunrise ceased to publish from late 1924 to 1920, it was Sufi Bengalee who re-started it. In the ROR of Oct-1932 he is listed as a graduate degree holder, (M.A.).

“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 Prophetsa – 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 Prophetsa that the image of Islam is badly distorted; it is only through presenting to the public the true beautiful character of the Holy Prophetsa that the allegations can be addressed.”
