Intro
It seems that the Pakistani government has allocated many graveyards to the Ahmadiyya Movement in Pakistan. We have found one in Faisalabad and Hafizabad. The exact address is 89 GB Ratan, Faisalabad. We will add more as we find them.
The original Bahishti Maqbara was in Qadian, after 1947, roughly 90% of Ahmadi’s in India moved to Pakistan and thus abandoned the Bahishti Maqbara. The “Return to Qadian” prophecy by Mirza Basheer-uddin Mahmud Ahmad (1947) was given in this era also.
There are two bahisti maqbaras in rabwah, an older one which is almost full now and a new one.
Old graveyard: (Sample size: <500)
Those who died before 2009/10 are buried here. Only those having special written permission from masroor are now buried here. In the earliest part of the graveyard especially near the “Ehata khaas” (special section, where km2, km3 and prominent members of mirza family are buried) most died between 1960s and 80s. On each Katba (name plate) it is either mentioned
(i) Pedashi Ahmadi (Born ahmadi) or
(ii). Bait (year is mentioned)
In this part, 80% were bait and rest were born ahmadis.
As you go further into the graveyard, where burial dates were 80s and 2000s, the bait percentage falls dramatically. Cutting short, those buried in 2000s are 99% born ahmadis.
2. New graveyard: (Sample soze: >1,000)
For those who died after 2009/10 till now. There is no “ehata khaas” here i.e. this is only for common ahmadis. I went through, probably a thousand graves here as I wanted to make sure that my sample size is large enough to base my conclusion. In short, almost everyone was a born ahmadi. Literally, I hardly saw 8-10 “bait 19xx”. Only one of them was a male. Rest were females (probably converted after marriages as it was common to marry non-ahmadis pre 1973).
For anyone savy enough to reverse calculate the population of ahmadis in Pakistan, I have the following data for you:
41 new burials between my two visits. Time interval: 38 days.
Conclusion:
1. Had there been millions of new baits post 1950s (remember this graveyard didn’t exist before that), as claimed by km4, most the ahmadis buried in new graveyard should have obviously been ahmadis. Infact, it’s completely the opposite.
2. Those who converted to ahmadiyya aren’t dead yet OR
3. They all moved to Africa.
In 2026 (Jun), KTV reported on one such graveyard in Mangat Uncha, Hafizabad, Pakistan wherein as he walked around the graveyard, he noticed Islamic symbols like the Kalima on many tombstones. Hassan Rana also pointed out how this graveyard was labeled as “Qadiani”, thus the public knows.
