Intro
A.Q. Niaz or sometimes written as Sufi A.Q. Niaz or Sufi Abdul Qadeer was a Qadiani-Ahmadi pioneer missionary to Japan in 1935. He was arrested in 1937 (under suspicion of being a spy) and even had a female maid working in his house (see ROR of May-1939). He was the son of a companion of MGA (See ROR of Feb-1940).
He became the editor of the ROR in May-1938. Malik Ghulam Farid was the previous editor. It seems that he had just came back from Japan on a missionary tour. He ceased being the editor in Sep-1939 and Oct-1939, when Ali Mohammad (B.A. and B.T.) took over. However, this was only for a few months. By November, A. Q. Niaz was the main editor again, this lasted until Feb-1944. From March-1944 to July-1944, and once again, Ali Mohammad (B.A. and B.T.) filled in as editor. A. Q. Niaz returned in the Aug-1944 edition of the ROR and mentioned his absence as a result of ill health (he had a nervous breakdown). In the ROR of Aug-1944, A. Q. Niaz explains how the ROR is doing bad and suffering from a lack of customers (during WW-2), much like most newspapers in the area. A. Q. Niaz says that in Sep of 1938, subscriptions to the ROR were barely 200 and now its 450, which contradicts his previous statements on the lack of subscribers. A. Q. Niaz explains how the ROR is operating at a loss. Niaz had another absence starting in Dec-1945 (see ROR), and again, Ali Mohammad (B.A. and B.T.) took over til May-1946 Ali Mohammad (B.A. and B.T.). A.Q. Niaz returned to the editorship in June of 1946 and stayed as the editor until Dec-1946, when Ali Mohammad (B.A. and B.T.) took over for one month. Thereafter, in Jan-1947, when a man named Ali Muhammad Ajmeri took over.

In January 1937, the 2nd Khalifa, under the Tahrik-e-Jadid scheme, sent Maulvi Abdul Ghafoor to Japan. Before departing, Maulvi Abdul Ghafoor received a letter of guidance from the 2nd Khalifa. In the letter, the 2nd Khalifa reminded Maulvi Sahib of his purpose for travelling to Japan. The 2nd Khalifa stated that once there, he would face many difficulties such as financial difficulties and advised to always remain steadfast, and to continuously seek Gods help and have firm faith in Him. The 2nd Khalifa advised to keep up to date with the current affairs of Japan and to continuously, on a daily basis, read their newspapers. When Maulvi Abdul Ghafoor arrived in Japan, he started to learn Japanese from Sufi Abdul Qadeer. He remained in Japan, preaching the true Islam, for four years. Later, he returned to Qadian in 1941.
The ROR of Oct-1937 alleges that Sufi Abdul Qadeer founded the mission in 1935.

Him and his editorial staff (A.Q. Niaz and Ali Mohammad [B.A. and B.T.]) have an essay in the ROR of Aug-1944 entitled, “Ahmadiyyat’s Contribution To The Development Of Corporate National Feeling in India”. In this essay, he lies and claims that Ahmadiyya is a purely religious organization. He mentions how the 2nd Khalifa told Muslims to never follow or listen to the Turkish Sultan aka Khalifa. He alleges that MGA had addressed the issue of blasphemy in 1895. He explains how MGA supported blasphemy laws in British-India in 1895. A.Q. Niaz alleges that MGA wrote a book called, “Hindu Dharm”, however, this book seems to be missing from the official records. Rangila Rasul was also mentioned. He also talks about how the Ahmadiyya Movement has been holding meetings all through India and celebrating all the founders of religion like Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Rama (aka Ramchandra), Confucius and Baba Nanak.
