Intro
We aren’t sure who Mukhtar Malhi is (in terms of is he a Maulvi). Nevertheless, he is working as the General Secretary of the entire USA jamaat and under Mirza Maghfoor Ahmad as his minion. He recently drafted and published a memo to the Philadelphia Jamaat of Qadiani’s about some Qadiani’s who had recently quit.
In 2020, he organized a refresher course.

Inspection of Baitur Rahman (ahmadiyya-islam.org)
Inspection of Baitur Rahman
The morning after arriving in America, Huzoor came out of his residence where Ameer Sahib USA and other office bearers of the USA Jamaat were waiting to escort Huzoor on a tour of the entire Mosque premises.
Over the next hour, Huzoor inspected the various office blocks within the complex and the langhar khana (kitchen), dining hall and library. Huzoor also visited Masroor Teleport (MTA’s North American earth station), which had been renovated and redesigned.
Whilst visiting the langhar, Huzoor advised that the size of the kitchen ought to be increased.
During an inspection of a medical clinic at the Mosque, Huzoor advised that, apart from the allopathic services it provided, it should provide homeopathy treatment. Huzoor said the over-dependence on antibiotics in the modern world meant that the risk of resistance to antibiotics were increasing.
As he continued to inspect the Mosque premises, Huzoor asked Faheem Younis sahib, Naib Amir of the USA Jamaat, about a housing project initiated by Majlis Ansarullah USA.
Faheem sahib gave an update and indicated that there had been certain issues that had caused a delay to the project.
In reply, Huzoor said:
“The Promised Messiah (as) has said that when things get delayed it is an opportunity to pray more. So, continue to pray and there is no need to worry.”
Huzoor also visited the homes of two Waqf-e-Zindighis (life devotees) who resided in the Mosque complex; Mukhtar Malhi sahib, who served as the USA Jamaat’s General Secretary and Tariq Malik sahib, serving in the Review of Religions team. Huzoor spent a few moments in each of their homes and met their family members.
As the inspection came to an end, Huzoor noticed he had not visited one of the marquees erected at the complex. Huzoor asked what it was being used for and was told it was a base for Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya.
The Sadr Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya USA, Dr Bilal Rana informed that the ground was uneven and muddy and this was why they had not taken Huzoor to the Khuddam tent.
However, as soon as Huzoor realised there were some Khuddam on duty, he proceeded to the marquee and met with them, much to their delight and joy.
As Huzoor walked through another marquee he noticed a very large spider moving along a table, quite near where food was being prepared. Given the risk of contamination of the food, quick as a flash, Huzoor took out a tissue and grabbed the spider with his hand before handing the tissue to Ahmad bhai to dispose of!
As Huzoor inspected the Mosque, a non-Muslim called Ilir Adili (48) was present. He was an Albanian immigrant to the United States and was working as a builder. He had done some renovation work at Baitur Rahman recently and had come back because he wished to see Huzoor.
After seeing Huzoor conduct the inspection of the Mosque, Ilir Adili said:
“My father is a Muslim but I was brought up in Albania under a Communist regime where religion was banned and so I never had any interest in religion. But after working at the Mosque for a few weeks, I was extremely interested to see who the Khalifa was and what he was like. As I said, I am not at all religious, but when I saw the Khalifa I felt something very special. I felt that he is a beautiful and hugely influential person. I don’t know the Khalifa personally but just seeing him was enough for me to understand why he is a role model for millions of people. There are no words to describe how it felt to see him.”

The formal program started with the recitation of the Holy Quran, followed by a welcome address by the Regional Missionary, Shamshad Nasir Sahib.
Shamshad Sahib highlighted the significance of keeping up to date with the current rules and regulations of Nizam-e-Jamaat. He then invited Mukhtar Malhi Sahib to the stage, who provided a summary of the Jamaat’s rules and regulations that included administrative and general rules. He then led a scenario-based session and provided the correct courses of action in each of the cases. The latest guidance from Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa for each case, was played via short video clips.
Rafiq Sayed Sahib then gave a summary of how the national jaidad department works and how various projects along with related budgets are managed. The details regarding the approval process for new construction projects, upgrades and maintenance of existing properties was talked through. Many misunderstandings related to property matters were also clarified.

He encouraged young members of the Jamaat to explore various entrepreneurial options and gave a wide range of references of various immigrants who came to the United States with very little and became very successful founders of tech companies. Many immigrants became successful and are running large Fortune 500 companies. He quoted various sayings of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IIra where he encouraged Jamaat members to not only excel in education but also in trade.
Towards the end of the day, Shamshad Nasir Sahib thanked the national team for the valuable guidance and presentations on respective departmental topics. He also thanked members of the three chapters of the Midwest region for coming together to attend the refresher course. Shamshad Sahib also urged all office-bearers to work hard to establish the unity and love of God, to spread the peaceful message of Islam and help humanity.

Faran Rabbani, USA Correspondent
9 October 2022 was the day for Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V’saa departure from Dallas, Texas. The day began with the Fajr prayer, afterwards, Huzooraa went to his residence and then came out at around 11 am. The local Jamaat amila had the honour to have a group photo with Huzooraa. Various departmental nazimeen also had their group photo with Huzooraa, followed by the Ziafat department volunteers.
After the group photos, Huzooraa went around the complex to see and greet everyone before leading everyone present in silent prayer. After the dua, Huzoor’s qafila left Bait-ul-Ikram Mosque complex for the airport where a chartered plane was awaiting Huzooraa and the accompanying entourage. This brought the second leg of the tour to a successful end. During Huzoor’s stay in Dallas, Huzooraa met 716 members of the Jamaat, alhamdulillah.
There were around 70 members in Huzoor’s entourage that traveled in the “Khilafat Flight” KF2022 from Dallas to Baltimore. The “Khilafat Flight” departed Dallas at around 12:30 pm for Baltimore, Maryland.
It was a short 2.5 hours flight to Baltimore. After landing at around 4 pm, one of the naib amir of USA Jamaat Falahuddin Shams Sahib, along with general secretary Mukhtar Malhi Sahib and Sadr MKA Dr Madeel Abdullah Sahib received Huzooraa and the members of the entourage at the airport. After exiting the airport, the entourage was quickly escorted by the Police and was on the way to the national headquarters of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya USA at Baitur Rahman Mosque in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Around 3,000 members had gathered to welcome Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa. Once again, the members had come from different places to see and welcome their beloved Khalifa. The members had gathered here from at least 10 countries: USA, Canada, the UK, Mexico, Bangladesh, Sweden, Bolivia, Brazil, Pakistan, and Belize.
After arriving at the Baitur Rahman Mosque, Huzooraa got off his car and then walked towards his residence while he was welcomed and greeted by the members that had gathered here and were waiting for several hours for beloved Huzooraa. Young Nasirat and Atfal were reciting taranas while the elders were raising various slogans to express their love for Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya, alhamdulillah.
Around 5:30 pm, Huzooraa came to the mosque and led everyone in Zuhr and Asr prayers.
At Baitur Rahman complex, there are several marquees that have been setup for the over flow of worshippers. The Lajna are being accommodated in their respective hall on the upper floor of the mosque as well as their own overflow marquees outside. There is a separate Langar arrangement for men and women.
As the evening drew near, the mosque started to get filled with worshippers lining up hours ahead of the Maghrib prayer in order to get a spot inside the main prayer hall of Baitur Rahman Mosque. After the mosque got filled, the members were directed to fill the overflow marquees. At about 8:30 pm, Huzooraa came to the masjid and led everyone in Maghrib and Isha prayers and then retired to his residence for the night.
10 October 2022
The next day, Huzooraa inaugurated the national headquarters of the Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya USA, Sira-e-Khidmat, that had been acquired in January 2020. Motamid MKA USA, Zafir Ahmed Sahib reports that Huzooraa arrived at the property at 1:20 pm, unveiled the plaque and then led everyone present in silent prayer.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, attendance at the inauguration event was limited to about 75 people which included national amila of USA Jamaat and MKA USA amila. The property is spread over 0.55 acres, and located half a mile away from Baitur Rahman Mosque in Silver Spring, MD.
After this Huzooraa returned to Baitur Rahman Mosque and led the Zuhr and Asr prayers. In the evening the family mulaqats began.
11 October 2022
The Ghanian ambassador to the US, HE Hajia Alima Mahama came to meet Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa. Afterward, Huzooraa met 32 Ahmadi families comprising of 151 members. And then later in the evening, Huzooraa met around 500 Ahmadis in group mulaqats.
Huzooraa also gave time to 46 new converts and current tabligh contacts. One of the tabligh contacts, Mr Christopher Meyer the 2nd from Orlando, requested Huzooraa that he would like to convert and give his bai’at at the hands of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa. Huzooraa graciously approved his request for the next day after Zuhr and Asr prayers.
12 October 2022
The ambassador of Sierra Leone to the US, HE Sidique Abou-Bakarr Wai had the honour of meeting Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa in the morning. Afterward, Mr Shobana Shankar, professor at Stony Brook University had an audience with Huzooraa. Next to have an audience with Huzooraa was the first secretary of the Gambian Embassy, Mr Saikou Ceesay.
After meeting with the dignitaries, the mulaqats with Ahmadis resumed and Huzooraa met 36 Ahmadi families comprising of 162 individuals.
After Zuhr and Asr prayers, Huzooraa held a bai’at ceremony at the masjid. Mr Christopher Meyer the 2nd had the honour to give his oath of allegiance to Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa by giving his hand in Huzoor’s hand. Everyone present made the human chain by placing their hand on the shoulder of the person in front. The entire mosque was full of worshippers and the overflow marquees also had significant number of rows filled. Everyone was able to take part in this extraordinary experience of bai’at, alhamdulillah.
Around 6pm, Huzooraa visited the MTA earth station at the Baitur Rahman complex. Huzooraa received a tour and a brief report from Chaudhry Munir Sahib, director MTA International Masroor Teleport North and South America.
A few minutes later, Huzooraa came to the main prayer hall where 200 Waqifaat-e-Nau were awaiting Huzooraa for their Gulshan-e-Waqf-e-Nau class. This class went on for about an hour, followed by a class with the Waqifeen-e-Nau. This class also went on for about an hour and was attended by 209 boys. A separate report of these classes will be shared later, insha-Allah.
13 October 2022
Huzooraa met 49 Ahmadi families comprising of 206 individuals from 24 different Jamaat across the USA. The weather was cold and rainy, hence for the evening prayers, Huzooraa used the inside entrance to the main prayer hall. On his way back to his residence, there were several hundred Ahmadi Muslims eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of their beloved Imam, despite heavy rain. This show of immense love between a master and his servants cannot be found anywhere on earth.
14 October 2022
Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa led the Jumuah prayer from the Baitur Rahman Mosque in Silver Spring Maryland.

Dozen Houses of Worship Vandalized in Past Month – Montgomery Community Media (mymcmedia.org)
Dozen Houses of Worship Vandalized in Past Month
At least 12 houses of worship in Montgomery County have been burglarized in a little more than the past month, according to Kate Chance, Montgomery County’s faith community liaison.
Overwhelmingly, the targets have been Buddhist and Hindu Temples. Several mosques also have been broken into, Chance said.
There have been no injuries, and most of the vandalism resulted in broken down doors and minor damage as the men, who have been seen on surveillance cameras, look for money.
Chance only named a few of the places that were robbed, explaining, “I’m being extra cautious. i don’t want to hurt anyone’s trust.”
Wat Thai Washington, D.C., a Buddhist Temple on Layhill Road in Silver Spring, was victimized about April 7 when three men entered the premises and took $20,000 from the area of the monk’s residence.
Police have surveillance video and a car’s license plate number from that incident.
A man entered the temple and distracted a member by asking questions. “He didn’t know they broken into the monk’s residence,” said a board member who only identified herself as Ann.
They took $20,000. Some of that money was from donations and some belonged to temple members, she said.
According to the board member, Wat Thai members were told by police that a Romanian crime group is involved, not just in Montgomery County, but throughout the United States.
Police do not consider the incidents a hate crime but rather a crime of opportunity, she said.
That temple also was broken into in October of 2023.
“We are not scared, but we are cautious,” the board member said. “We’ll have to be more cautious.”
The Ahmadiya Muslim Community on Good Hope Road in Silver Spring also was broken into. “They could not succeed in getting anything. They broke the door,” said National General Secretary Mukhtar Malhi.
“We couldn’t find any video,” he said, adding, “We are not scared. We are more active and vigilant.”
Also vandalized was the Noor Center on Boland Farm Road in Germantown.
Councilmember Sidney Katz, chair of the council’s public safety committee, told MCM, “The police have certainly been aware of it. We are very concerned for everyone in the community.” He added, “Why someone would target religious institutions is mind boggling.”
Councilmember Marilyn Balcombe said it is important for the county to increase grants that cover such things as security cameras and to make sure all houses of worship, no matter how small, are aware of the need to be vigilant and apply for these grants.
Chance advised members of all houses of worship to report any incidents to Montgomery County Police immediately. All houses of worship and non-profits are eligible for a free security assessment from the police and can apply for a grant from the county for security equipment.
Everyone should be vigilant and aware of their surroundings. They should not keep large amounts of cash or valuables at their building, Chance wrote in a newsletter. She also suggested that security camera footage is saved to a back-up device for at least a month.
When asked for a list of all houses of worship that have been vandalized, a MCP spokesperson sent an email to MCM noting, “Unfortunately, we do not have direct access to this information.”
