Intro
She was the only child of MGA’s famous cousin (Mirza Imam ud Din) and his wife (her name is unknown). She seems to have married her first cousin/neighbor and MGA’s eldest son, Mirza Sultan Ahmad in the mid 1880’s. This is interesting since Mirza Sultan Ahmad was the Chief of Qadian in that era (Rais), and thus MGA’s cousins also held this honor and beefed with MGA over the Muhammadi Begum saga.
Ahmadiyya only sources claim that she converted to Ahmadiyya in MGA’s lifetime. Ahmadiyya sources totally lie and claim that she converted to Ahmadiyya before her marriage with Mirza Sultan Ahmad. These are all lies, her father Mirza Imam ud Din died by 1904, this was the era wherein her sons Mirza Aziz Ahmad and Mirza Rashid Ahmad seem to have converted to Ahmadiyya, most likely because they had no money.
By 1906 (or 1935), MGA was calling the mother of Khurshid Begum as a prostitute. Mirza Aziz Ahmad confirmed (See ROR of Oct-1942) that by 1905, none of MGA’s relatives had accepted Ahmadiyya (see the full quote in the below). In fact, the Punjab Chiefs of 1909 admitted to the same, the cousins of MGA had not accepted him (see the full quote in the below).
Via the ROR of Oct-1942, Mirza Aziz Ahmad claims that after he did bait in 1906, his father Mirza Sultan Ahmad came home and his grandmother told him that his son had gotten into the bait with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Mirza Sultan Ahmad is alleged to have said that maybe he will pray now. Mirza Aziz Ahmad then alleges that his grandmother (Hurmat Bibi) finally did bait in 1916, he was working in Simla, when he came home, he asked his grandma in jest as to what had overtaken her? Why did she now convert to Ahmadiyya? She simply laughed. This was written by Mirza Aziz Ahmad in 1938 and signed off by him.
