Intro
Azhar Hanif was born in roughly 1958 in NY, he grew up however, in Boston, MA. After High school, he went to Brown University, which is a just a few hours from Boston (via car) and in Rhode Island. He played basketball at Brown University (an Ivy League school). He wasn’t that good. He didn’t show up to the 1976 USA Jalsa even though the Khalifa was there, Mirza Nasir Ahmad. He was also a no-show at the 1977 Jalsa Salana in St. Louis. No one on his team was drafted to the NBA. During his career at Brown, he averaged 7.6 points per game, 5.2 Total Rebounds Per game and was about 50% while shooting. After failing at basketball and academics, he ends up showing up at Qadian with his parents (1982) and was very sick. From Qadian he travelled over the border via Amritsar-Lahore and entered Pakistan and went straight to Rabwah. He met the 2nd Khalifa and gave him a letter wherein he asked for a job. Azhar Haneef and his family stayed for the famous 1982 Jalsa-Salana at Rabwah.

Azhar Haneef and his parents returned to America and got the letter from Rabwah, and Azhar Haneef was approved to become a Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi. He arrived in Rabwah in 1983, he says that the 4th Khalifa, Mirza Tahir Ahmad asked him to coach the Ahmadiyya basketball team, which he did. Per his own admission, he didn’t graduate from Jamia-Rabwah and his visa expired in Pakistan since he wasn’t attending an islamic center for learning. Thus, in 1989, without graduating, he left Pakistan. He seems to have gotten married in this period. He was then sent back to Baypoint, Ca for a few years with his Pakistani wife. He was transferred out of Baypoint in roughly 1993 and eventually became the missionary-in-charge in the USA (since 2020?) and Naib Amir (2014)(0:51 time stamp).

His father, Abid Haneef converted to Ahmadiyya on August 13th, 1948 (see page 24)(and his wife Saliha Hanif, also spelled Saleha Haneef, she was Lajna President from 1953-1954). They were all living in NY in 1956-1959. While in New York (1948–1961) he worked with Zafrullah Khan extensively, since Zafrullah Khan was always visiting at the United Nations headquarters in NY. Abid Hanif confesses to be involved in the famous Mubahila challenge vs. Billy Graham, which was issued by Sheikh Mubarak Ahmad. In fact, Abid Hanif and 2 other Ahmadi’s were arrested for their antics vs. Billy Graham. His father was also fast friends with Rashid Ahmad, who was allegedly the first ever African American missionary, however, it seems that he was demoted as a result of sexual impropriety and made into a “Waqf-e-Zindagi”. Factually, Rashid Ahmad was never listed as an Ahmadi murrabi in the USA. In fact, in this video he admits that when he returned to America in 1955, Maulvi Ghulam Yasin exclaimed how he wasted his time in Rabwah and only followed the Khalifa around (6:04 time stamp).

Interestingly, in 2023, Maulvi Azhar Haneef said that it’s unclear whether Alexander Webb was an Ahmadi or not, there is no evidence that proves that Webb was an Ahmadi (See 1:18:00 time stamp and this tik tok).

—Maulvi Azhar Haneef gave a speech on Sunday, July-6-2025, at the USA Jalsa-2025 on “Intrigues against Early Khilafat & the Role of Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya in Restoring Islam to its Glory”. In this speech, he accused Muslims of failing to unite and blamed their plight in Gaza and other Muslim countries as punishment for not accepting the Ahmadiyya Khilafat (17:40 time stamp). Maulvi Azhar Haneef alleged that Muslims have failed to unite with their Petro dollars and etc. etc. Maulvi Azhar Haneef argued that Muslims had went stray since Umar (ra) was assassinated (1000+ years ago). At 19:26, he says that in 1926 when the Ottoman Sultanate died out, that is when the true Khilafat (that of the Mirza family) began. Maulvi Azhar Haneef was so bold he alleged that Tahrik-e-Jadid has eliminated poverty (19:56 time stamp) and illiteracy in the world (a total lie). At 27:31, Maulvi Azhar Haneef explains how in 1956, the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa sent a message to the USA Ameer for Qadiani’s, Dr. Khalil Ahmad Nasir and asked him to translate the book Wasiyyat into English (See the Ahmadiyya Gazette of the First Quarter-1956). Maulvi Azhar Haneef implores Ahmadi’s to pay 10% of their monthly income and 30% of your assets when you die. At 30:08, Maulvi Azhar Haneef doesn’t understand why more Ahmadi’s haven’t signed up for Wasiyyat. Maulvi Azhar Haneef argued that Wasiyyat is vital for Islam and society. At 31:31, Maulvi Azhar Haneef argued that Wasiyyat is not a financial scheme! At 32:01, Maulvi Azhar Haneef argued that Wasiyyat would make this world, as a world of peace. At 35:46, Maulvi Azhar Haneef argued that Wasiyyat in the USA has a 50% membership target and it has not been reached. At 36:55, Maulvi Azhar Haneef alleges that the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa said that Wasiyyat comprises in itself the whole social and economic system of Islam. At 37:50, he begs Ahmadi’s to give Mirza Masroor Ahmad the gift of signing up for Wasiyyat. Maulvi Azhar Haneef says that Ahmadi’s have failed in this regard and chased the dunya! At 38:21, Maulvi Azhar Haneef begs Ahmadi’s to convince other Ahmadi’s to sign up for Wasiyyat. At 41:34, Maulvi Azhar Haneef mentioned Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din and alleged that the Khwaja didn’t understand Wasiyyat. At 47:18, he alleged that Maulvi Nur ud Din said that when a nation loses righteousness, then Allah’s punishment comes, however, he says that Ahmadi’s are saved from this punishment, since they accepted MGA and thus not deserving of divine wrath. He also mentioned the recent death of Abdur Raqib Wali. In conclusion, Maulvi Azhar Haneef alleged that if you pay 10% monthly chanda (via Wasiyyat) and 30% of your assets at death, you will be protected by divine wrath.

His father, Abid Haneef converted to Ahmadiyya on August 13th, 1948 (see page 24), his mother also converted (Saleha Hanif, also spelled Saliha Hanif).

In the video in the below, the Ahmadi-mullah, Azhar Haneef, explains how he was invited to a Lahori-Jalsa in the country of Suriname in 2015 and he was shocked to see the slow death of the Lahori-Ahmadis. He commented how NO ONE shows up for Salaat and etc. However, he forgets to mention that any Ahmadi mosque in the USA, there are barely 2-3 people that show up for Isha on a Monday night. The truth is that the Lahori-Ahmadis are vanishing fast, most likely because of their liberal version of Islam, plus, they don’t worship the Mirza family like the Qadianis, and thus they aren’t brainwashed fools.
