Intro
As soon as WW-2 ended, the Ahmadiyya Movement was allowed by the British to send missionaries en masse to Europe. A delegation of nine missionaries, Chaudhry Karam Ilahi Zafar (Spain), Chaudhry Muhammad Ishaq Saqi (Spain for short while, then Trinidad and Tobago), Maulvi Muhammad Usman, Master Muhammad Ibrahim, Maulvi Ghulam Ahmad Sahib Bashir (Switzerland), Maulvi Basharat Ahmad Naseem, Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali, Malik Ata-ur-Rehman (Amir of the delegation) and Chaudhry Zahoor Ahmad Bajwa (Tarikh-e-Ahmadiyyat, Vol. 9, p. 525).
The ROR of Jan-Feb-1946 tells the world that on Dec-16-1945 a group of 9 Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi’s were sent to Europe. The plan was for all of them to convene in London and with a few staying, one going to Holland, Spain and Germany. It should be noted that per the ROR, 3 Qadiani-Ahmadi maulvi’s were already sent to West Africa in this push. In the ROR of March-1946, the 2nd Khalifa claims that he has sent out 25 Qadiani-Ahmad Maulvi’s and has run out of qualified people (this was a Friday sermon of the 2nd Khalifa, published in the Sunrise, dated Feb-9-1946). The ROR of Oct-1946 reports on Qadiani-Ahmadi’s preaching in Sierra Leone, this report was written by M. M. Siddique. M. M. Siddique reports that him and 2 other Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi’s named, Muhammad Ishaque Saqui (written as Soofi Muhammad Ishaque), Maulvi Abdul Haq Nangli and Maulvi Chaudhry N. Ahmad. They planned a tabligh tour of the northern areas of Sierra Leone. They left Bo on May 7th-1946, and landed in Magburaka, they allege to have a mission house, a school and a mosque. They admit that their school is getting money from the government.
Thus, a caravan of Ahmadi mullahs departed in 1945 from the headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Community, Qadian towards Bombay harbour, via New Delhi. The group embarked on SS Batory and after three weeks landed in Liverpool where they confronted Jalal al-Din Shams, then a pioneering missionary stationed in England. The caravan spent six months in London at the Fazl Mosque.
On October 13, 1946 the three Ahmadi missionaries, Sheikh Nasir Ahmad, Abdul Latif and Ghulam Ahmad Bashir met in Zurich, Switzerland, intending to establish a mission in Germany. However, due to the recent conclusion of the war, they were unable to enter the country. As a result, a mission was established in Zurich instead. Soon after, Abdul Latif and Ghulam Ahmad Bashir left the country for the Netherlands, whilst Sheikh Nasir Ahmad continued to serve Switzerland for the following 16 years, until 1962. During this period a German translation of the Quran was published and an Islamic journal Der Islam was founded. (Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around The World – A Pictorical Presentation.
