Intro
By 1979, the Ahmadiyya Movement was claiming to have only 5 mission houses and 4 mosques in the country. The Ahmadiyya Movement sent Mufti Muhammad Sadiq in 1921 to the USA without a visa (however, with paperwork from the British Government). However, MGA’s correspondence with Alexander Webb goes back to the 1880’s. MGA’s photo and life story were also published in the American press from 1902-1907 in terms of his challenge to Dowie.
The Dec-1919 edition of the ROR tells the world that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq has been ordered by the Khalifa to go the USA. The essay or announcement is written by Rahim Baksh aka Dard, who is working as the 2nd Khalifa’s secretary on 11-25-1919. The April-May-1920 edition of the ROR tells us that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq is detained in prison in the USA, Maulvi Sher Ali calls intolerance. Mufti Sadiq had sailed from England on January 26, 1920, and reached Philadelphia in the second week of February (2-15-1920, see ROR of July-1920). The immigration department blocked his entry into the U.S.A. on the grounds that he was not allowed to preach the message of God (See also the ROR of April-May-1920). Sadiq set up his first headquarters in April 1920 at 1897 Madison Avenue in New York City. His address was also written as: “Mufti Mohammad Sadiq Ahmadi Missioner 245 W 72 Street, New York City (USA)”.
In 1976, Mirza Nasir Ahmad visited the USA, marking the first time ever that a sitting Khalifa came to the USA.

1920
The April-May-1920 edition of the ROR tells us that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq is detained in prison in the USA, Maulvi Sher Ali calls intolerance. Mufti Sadiq had sailed from England on January 26, 1920, and reached Philadelphia in the second week of February (2-15-1920, see ROR of July-1920). The immigration department blocked his entry into the U.S.A. on the grounds that he was not allowed to preach the message of God (See also the ROR of April-May-1920). Sadiq set up his first headquarters in April 1920 at 1897 Madison Avenue in New York City. His address was also written as: “Mufti Mohammad Sadiq Ahmadi Missioner 245 W 72 Street, New York City (USA)”.
The ROR of July-1920 tells the world that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq spoke to the press about Ahmadiyya in the world and reported that there were 600,000 Ahmadi’s when MGA died in 1908. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was inflating the numbers of Ahmadi’s to the press in the USA. Further, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq and other Ahmadi editors lied about white converts to Ahmadiyya from Europe and America. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq also reported that he had converted 29 people to Ahmadiyya on his ship ride from the UK to the USA.
On October, 1920, Dr. Sadiq moved the headquarters of the Ahmadiyya mission to Chicago because of its central location. He purchased a house in an affluent area of Chicago, at 4448 S. Wabash, and converted it to a mosque.
The ROR of Oct-1920 reports that Muftree Muhammad Sadiq has converted 40 American’s thus far. It also reports that Sadiq moved from New York to Chicago recently. The ROR also mentions that the Ahmadiyya Movement is working on an Arabic newspaper (most likely for the arab muslims living in Dearborn, MI.). They claim to be working with an Arab on this endeavor, Mr. Mohini, the newspaper is called the “Alserat”.
The ROR of Aug-Sep-1920 has an essay about Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, entitled, “An Anecdote of the Mufti”. The July-1920 edition talks about how a Hindu from India converted to Ahmadiyya through Muftree Muhammad Sadiq and took his name. Mufti Sadiq reported that 31+ people had already converted to Ahmadiyya in New York (a total lie). Mufti Sadiq even claims to have converted 6 people to Ahmadiyya, of which 5 were chinese.
In the July-1920 edition of the ROR, it is reported how Sayyal is giving lectures. Maulana Nayyar and Azeez ud Din are also working with him. The ROR also reported that a family in Birmingham had converted to Ahmadiyya, however, this is a lie. They claim this is a Jewish family and even give the names as:
1–Isaac Yeti
2–Yetta Yeti
3–Eli Yetti
4–Michael Yeti
Thus, he departed from Liverpool on 26 January 1920 and reached Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 15 February. Upon his arrival, he was refused entry into the United States and was detained for nearly seven weeks at the Gloucester City immigration station in New Jersey. Eventually, he was allowed to enter the country and start his missionary work.
As one of the first voices of Islam in America, he utilised every method possible to convey the message of Islam Ahmadiyyat to the masses. He visited different cities, delivering lectures and met Americans from all walks of life.
While we celebrate the historic 100-years anniversary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat in USA in this centennial year of 2020, we try to retrace some of his journeys in the United States through newspaper archives.
Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Sadiqra was in the news from the very day he arrived in Philadelphia. Apart from local Philadelphian newspapers such as The Philadelphia Record, Public Record, North American, Evening Bulletin and Public Ledger etc., other newspapers also reported his arrival. The headline of Pittsburgh Daily Post read:
In his letter dated 7 August 1920, he expressed his intentions to move to Chicago, considering it more suitable as the centre of the Ahmadiyya mission (Al Fazl, 23 September 1920, p. 1). And in the very next letter, he wrote that he had reached Chicago.
“Being stationed in New York, he had the opportunity to visit different cities to propagate the message of Islam. Among his journeys was a visit to Detroit, Michigan where he attended a meeting of Arab immigrant Muslims. An Arabic newspaper of New York, Al-Bayan, reported his visit in its edition of June 26, 1920 as follows:
‘[Translation] The Islamic Community in Detroit, Michigan has held a general body meeting on June 14 for the occasion of having Mr Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, one of the best men of India. He has come all the way from New York especially just to visit the Islamic Community here in this city.
‘Mr Mufti begun this meeting with the following words “In the name of Allah, and blessings be sent upon the Holy Arab Prophet”. Then he delivered his address in both English and Arabic, he expressed how the Muslims of India are highly determined and well dedicated to uplift the pride of Islam again, and how supportive they are towards their brothers in the East and the West. His address left a noble impact in the hearts of attendees.’” (Al Bayan, 26 June 1920, p. 3, 26 Court St, Brooklyn, NY)
“Mahomet Missioner Comes to Convert – Antithesis of Billy Sunday to ‘Evangelize’ America
“Boy, page Billy Sunday. Tell him there’s a competitor of his’n in the hoosegow. His name is Mufti Mohammed Sadiq, American missionary of the Prophet Mohammed, and he aims to convert Americans…
“‘When I am permitted to land,’ said Sadiq today, ‘I am going to New York to establish a center there and … to start the Ahmadi movement.’ Ahmadism, Sadiq explained, is an advanced form of Mohammedanism.” (Pittsburgh Daily Post, Sunday, 22 February 1920, p. 9)
Soon after, he took up residence in New York City. The Ahmadiyya community’s pioneer newspaper Al Hakam mentions two of his postal addresses in 1920 and they are: 245 West 72 Street, NY and 1897 Madison Ave NY (Al Hakam, 7 July 1920, p. 11)
Missionary work was carried out through articles in newspapers and correspondence with different dignitaries and other individuals. For example, Fort Scott Daily Tribune and Fort Scott Daily Monitor in its edition of 29 July 1920, page 8, under the heading of “Costly Movement on to Convert Americans to Muhammadism” reports:
“The Tribune today received propaganda from an Indian Buddihist or Mohammedan who has come to the United States to convert the country. Evidently the literature has gone to every newspaper in the United States and more is to follow in a comprehensive and costly effort to present the claims of Ahmad, claimed to be the Messiah of all religions who has come to save the people…

https://www.reviewofreligions.org/21830/review-of-religions-october-1921-edition/
The ROR of Jan-1921 tells us that he is in America and has converted a few white people to Ahmadiyya, he gives his address as 4334 Ellis Avenue, Chicago, Ill (U.S.A.). The ROR of March-1921 tells us that Muftree Muhammad Sadiq was given the honorary Doctorate of Literature from Lincoln Jefferson University out of Chicago, illinois. In the Feb-1921 edition of the ROR, a few converts are mentioned as well as his work in America thus far. Being invited to Grand Rapids, Michigan, he delivered a series of lectures there in early October 1921.
In July 1921, he visited Toledo, Ohio. A local daily newspaper, The Toledo News Bee reported his visit and interview in its edition of 12 July 1921 under the heading “Plan a Mosque for Toledo”.
In the same month, he also visited Fort Wayne, Indiana and Bremen, Indiana upon the invitation of Mr and Mrs Michael Abraham. The Bremen Enquirer reported his visit on the front page of its 28 July 1921 issue, under the heading: “First Missionary of Moslems to US Visits in Bremen”.
He launches the Muslim Sunrise, a new newspaper which would be the mouthpiece of Ahmadiyya in America. He lies and claims that there are 700,000 Ahmadi’s in the world. He also claims that “Lincoln Jefferson University” of Chicago, illinois gave him an honorary doctorate degree in literature on 12-16-1920, this is a total lie, this university doesn’t even exist (see Moslem Sunrise, 1st edition, July-1921)(See the ROR of Oct-1921also). The ROR of Oct-1921 also tells us that Sadiq got an honorary doctorate of divinity from The College of Divine Metaphysics out of St. Louis (this is a lie). The ROR claims that Sadiq is now “Doctor of Divinity”.
However according to the Sioux City Journal (Sioux City, Iowa) he was there in early April 1921 and delivered a lecture on the subject of “Oriental Religions” followed by questions. (Sioux City Journal, 14 April 1921, p. 10)

In February 1922, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq fell seriously ill, so much so that he even wrote his will (Al Fazl, 27 March 1922). By Allah’s grace, he recovered, but still suffered from an eye condition, for which he travelled to Niles, Michigan to be treated by the internationally known eye doctor Dr. Frederick N Bonine (1863-1941). He was advised to see the doctor twice a week and during his free time during the rest of the week, he visited nearby cities and towns to convey the message of Islam. He paid a visit to the Michigan cities of Benton Harbor and Dowagiac, along with South Bend, Indiana. There, he delivered many lectures, distributed literature and gave interviews on Islam. (Al Fazl, 8 and 22 June 1922).
In May 1922 he travelled to Chicago and once again made it the mission’s centre. The first Ahmadiyya mosque in America was built in Chicago on 4448 Wabash Avenue.
In Stanley, he delivered a lecture in Picture Hall. In all likelihood, this journey was undertaken at the invitation of some Muslim brethren residing near Ross. In his lecture, he thanked brothers Hessen Husain Jaha, Farhat, Omar and others. On his way back, he spent some days conveying the message of Islam in both Crookston and St Paul, Minnesota. (The Moslem Sunrise, Issue I, 1923, p. 166, 167).
An organisation named Exchange Club in Grand Haven, Michigan invited him to deliver a lecture on Islam at a banquet attended by a large gathering of ladies and gentlemen. Accepting the invitation, he travelled to Grand Haven in November 1922.

The agreement signed by the new converts
Bismillah
Islam in Ahmadia Movement
There is but one God, the Creator and Provider for all, the Almighty, the Gracious, the All-Knowing, over and above the need of having a father, mother, son, daughter, wife or any other relatives, the Self-Sufficient, the Great Forgiver whose forgiving bounties cause no deficit to His endless treasures.
One and the same God of all ages, all nations and all countries; Who through His grace and mercy sends the Prophets, Sacred Guides and Holy Reformers.
Such were Zoroaster of Persia, Confucius of China and Buddha of India, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus Palestine, the Master-Prophet, Muhammad of Arabia, and Ahmad of Qadian, the Messenger of the latter days, peace and blessings of God be with all of them. We must honor and respect all of them, and take them as Holy Messengers of God. But we must not worship any of them. Worship God Alone. We believe in Angels, Holy Spirits, who bring to us His Messages, move us to do good works and help us in our way to the final goal.
As God used to speak to His people in the old days, so does He even now, one of the living examples being in the holy person of “Mahmud[ra],” the blessed successor to the Promised Messiah[as] and the present leader of Islam in the Ahmadia Movement. He is the one, authorized, [and] heavenly-fixed spiritual head of the elect Community to whom is due all allegiance and obedience by the faithful.
Zend Avesta of Persians, Vedas of Hindus, Torah of Moses, Gospel of Jesus, all originally being the Word of God, [but] El-Quran is the latest current revealed Book of Sacred Law for the guidance of one and all. We believe in the life after death and in the judgment of our deeds, good or bad, here and hereafter, and trust in the boundless mercy of God.
Say five daily prayers to worship and seek communion with God, and come into union with Him, keep a month’s fast in the year to exercise and develop the faculties of submission to His will, give charity to the needy and poor, [and] join the holy annual assembly at Mecca to worship God once in your life. Pork is forbidden as it is injurious to health.
We must live a peaceful life, obeying the laws of the government under which we are.
Praise be to God, who is the Lord of Worlds.
I will keep my faith above the world.
Fully agreeing with the above, I hereby join the Islam in Ahmadia Movement.
Please send me further literature and instructions.

Efforts for the spread of Islam and American newspapers
Many articles have been published in the American dailies and weeklies about our Islamic work in this country. Below we give extracts out of some of them:
1. Syracuse Sunday Herald of 25 June 1922 devoted a whole page fully describing the Moslem Mission in America giving my photo, photos of the Mosque and Minaret and the facsimile of the Title page of this Magazine, [The Moslem Sunrise]. The article is headed “Trying to make Christian America Muhammadan” and runs as follows:
“The Christian people of America are spending millions of dollars every year in the effort to spread the gospel of Christ all over the earth and convert the people of every nation under the sun to Christianity.
“And while this tremendous outlay is being made to maintain thousands of devoted missionaries in foreign lands, one of the world’s other great religions is making a determined effort to gain a foothold in Christian America.
“The leaders of Mohammedanism not content with the 227,000,000 or more adherents that faith now has in Turkey, India and other countries, are turning their attention to the United States and Canada, with the hope of making both those nations strongholds of Islamism.
“They aim to make their picturesque mosques and the towers from which the muezzins issue their calls to prayer as numerous as our churches, and when that day arrives, they are confident it will not be long before the crescent will overshadow the cross and a great majority of Americans will be following the precepts laid down in the Koran.
“To the millions of American Christians who have so long hooked eagerly forward to the time when the cross shall be supreme in every land and the people of the whole world shall have become followers of Christ the plan to win this continent to the faith of the ‘infidel Turk’ will seem a thing unbelievable. But there is no doubt about its being actually well underway or that it is being pressed with all the fanatical zeal for which the Mohammedans are noted.
“A little more than a year ago there arrived in the United States a Mohammedan missionary who is charged with the duty of spreading his faith throughout the length and breadth of North America. His name is Mufti Muhammad Sadiq and he came from Qadian, Punjab, India, where are the headquarters of what is known as the Ahmadia Movement in Islam. […]
“Christ they regard as a ‘blessed prophet,’ but secondary in importance to their own Mohammed[sa], whom they term the ‘greatest of all prophets.’
“The special concern of the Ahmadia Movement is the spread of Mohammedanism and the conversion to that faith of as many as possible of the followers of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and other religions. Its slogan is ‘I will keep my faith above the world.’
“The way the Ahmadia Movement carries on its work bears a strong resemblance to the methods of the missionary organizations of the Christian churches. From the headquarters in India evangelists whose lives are dedicated to spreading the teachings of Mohammed[sa] as laid down in the Koran are sent to every part of the world where Mohammedanism is not yet the dominating religion.
“These evangelists are highly educated men, speaking many languages, trained for the work they are doing. They are called missioners and their duties and responsibilities correspond quite closely to those laid on our own missionary bishops.
“Already besides the missioner in America there are missioners all over India, in England, Burmah, Ceylon, China, Australia, Mesopotamia, Persia, Arabia, Egypt, East and West Africa, Mauritius and a number of other places. More are being sent out just as fast as they can be trained and funds raised to carry on their work.
“Dr Sadiq, as he calls himself, the missioner assigned to the task of winning the United States and Canada to Islamism, is showing himself an aggressive worker and is apparently not hampered by any lack of funds. The progress he claims to have made in the few months he has been here leads some of his admirers to think that the day when America shall be Mohammedan may dawn sooner than they had hoped.
“In addition to several hundred converts whom he reports won from various Christian denominations, he has done a great deal to renew interest in their faith among the thousands of Turks and other Mohammedan people who are living here.
“Since Dr Sadiq’s arrival here one Mohammedan mosque has been built fluently and, in every way, carefully in Highland Park, Mich., a suburb of Detroit. Here the Moslem missioner has made his headquarters until recently when he moved to Chicago. He expects in the near future to see mosques built in Chicago, New York and many other large cities.
“Reports of the progress of Dr Sadiq’s work are made in a magazine called ‘The Moslem Sunrise,’ of which he is the editor and publisher and which appears every three months.
“This is a neatly printed affair of twenty- eight pages, entirely in English, except for an occasional Arabic word. The front cover design is significant of what the zealous Mohammedans hope to accomplish. It shows a map of the United States and Canada, with the two nations bathed in the beneficent rays of the ‘Rising Sun of Mohammedanism.’
“The latest issue of ‘The Moslem Sunrise’ dated April 1922, prints a list of thirty-three American men and women who are said to have recently ‘accepted Islam in Ahmadia Movement.’ After their American names are given the Arabic titles which are assigned to them after they embrace the Moslem faith.
“Dr Sadiq’s magazine prints extracts from the Koran, the sacred book of the Mohammedans and also quotations from the writings of the later prophet, Ahmad[as]. There are numerous articles comparing Mohammedanism with Christianity, and always, of course to the great disparagement of the latter.
“Under the heading ‘If Jesus Christ Comes to America,’ Dr Sadiq tells what he imagines would happen if the Savior applied for admission to the United States under the present immigration laws. The following is the dialogue which he describes as taking place between the immigration officer (IO) and Jesus (J):
IO: What is your name?
J: Jesus.
IO: What is your first name?
J: This is my first name.
IO: What is your second name?
J: I have no second name. This is my only name.
IO: Funny, what is your father’s name?
J: I have no father.
IO: Have no father? Funny, how were you born?
J: Miraculously – without a father. What is funny to you is right with God. Could you tell me how was Adam born without a father and without a mother?
IO: I do not know. Where do you come from?
J: India.
IO: What city?
J: Srinagar, Cashmere.
IO: How much money have you?
J: I have no money with me.
IO: How will you live without money?
J: I never think of tomorrow. Tomorrow will think of itself.
IO: Funny, we think of things in this country a century ahead. What is your nationality?
J: I am a Jew.
IO: Do you believe in the Law of Moses which allows polygamy?
J: Surely, I do – whosoever shall break the least of the commandments of the Law of Moses, he shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven.
IO: Why are your hands pierced?
J: I was unjustly nailed to the cross.
IO: What is your profession?
J: I am a preacher of God’s word. I speak nothing but what I am commanded by Him to say.
IO: Have you any papers with you to prove that you are a preacher?
J: I need no papers.
IO: Will you fight for the country if ever necessary?
J: I do not believe in fighting. I believe only in love.
IO: Do you allow drinking wine?
J: I would even perform a miracle to provide wine if necessary for a feast or so.
“Dr Sadiq thinks that after this questioning, the immigration authorities would decide:
“That Jesus cannot be allowed to enter this country because:
1. He comes from a land which is out of the permitted zone.
2. He has no money with him.
3. He is not decently dressed.
4. His hands have holes in the palms.
5. He remains bare-footed, which is a disorderly act.
6. He is against fighting for the country.
7. He believes in making wine when he thinks necessary.
8. He has no credentials to show that he is an authorized preacher.
9. He believes in the Law of Moses which allows polygamy; but he can appeal to the Washington Office against this decision of ours.
“To this, Dr Sadiq thinks Jesus’ reply would be: ‘I would not submit any appeal. It is evil to disallow a man like me and resistance to evil is against my principles. So, I shake the dust off my feet and go back to the charming land of Hindustan.’
“The same issue of ‘The Moslem Sunrise’ contains many expressions of appreciation and promises of support for the magazine and its editor, coming from readers in all parts of the world.
“‘I offer prayers for you five times daily,’ writes one.
“‘The seed of Islam sowed by you in America,’ says another, ‘will some day grow up a big, strong tree. I see an illustrious future before you.’
“‘I pray Allah will give you greater strength,’ writes an Englishwoman, ‘to penetrate those regions where the glad tidings of Islam are yet unknown, and may Allah awake the world to a realization to grasp the true faith now within its reach.’
“The religion which Mufti Muhammed Sadiq and his fellow workers are striving so earnestly to spread in America was founded in the seventh century by a former camel driver. This man, who later took the name of Mohammed[sa], meaning ‘he who will be praised,’ dreamed strange dreams and heard the voice of the Angel Gabriel, whose words were afterward written down in a book called the Koran.
“When he announced himself the long-expected prophet sent by Allah to save the world his neighbors only laughed and called him a lunatic and a bore. Mohammed[sa] fled to Medina, and there he was soon surrounded by an increasing number of followers, who accepted the Islam, or ‘submission to the will of God,’ which he made the highest of virtues.
“It is believed that the chief reason for the astonishing success of the religion founded by Mohammed[sa] lay in the simplicity of the creed he taught. His followers were told to love Allah, the merciful and compassionate ruler of the world. They must honor and obey their parents, be honest with their neighbors, show charity to the poor and the sick. They were commanded to abstain from strong drink and eat frugally.
“Regular church-going was not required, but Mohammed[sa] commanded his followers to turn their faces toward Mecca, the Holy City, five times every day and say a simple prayer.”
2. South Bend News-Times, 8 May 1922:
Muhammadan faith explained
[To] the editor [of] News-Times:
“Dear Sir: I am the First Representative of the Muhammadan Religion in the country and just visiting this town for a few days. There are some wrong ideas prevalent here about our faith which I must correct and I will be much obliged to you if you kindly insert these few lines. I am not going to discuss sectarian dogmas and doctrines, but just a few facts of public interest and suitable to general daily paper.
I. The Muhammadans don’t call themselves as ‘Muhammadans.’ This is the name given to them by Europeans. Their name among themselves is ‘Moslem’ which means, one who has resigned his will to God.
II. The Moslems do not worship Muhammad[sa]. Muhammad[sa] is only a man and messenger of God. We worship God alone. One God like the Jews and the Unitarian Christians believe.
III. Allah is not the name of any image or separate deity. Allah is the Arabic word for God.
IV. We honor and respect Jesus as one of a Prophets and Teachers. We believe in Jesus as the Christ, but not as the only son of God.
V. We believe in the Virgin birth of Jesus.
VI. We believe in the Second Advent of Christ in the person of the Prophet ‘Ahmad’ of India.
VII. We believe that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross, but was taken down while fainting and gradually revived.
VIII. All the Moslems are not Turks as all the Christians are not Russians.
“Dr MM Sadiq, Portage Hotel. 6 May 1922.”
3. Benton Harbor Daily News-Palladium, 1 May 1922:
Prophet of Islam visitor here for lecture
“Benton Harbor got a glimpse of a prophet from Islam today in the person of Dr Mufti Muhammad Sadiq of Highland Park, Mich., and editor of The Moslem Sunrise. Dr Sadiq is the first Moslem missionary to be sent to this country from India by the Mohammedan faith. He is dressed as any American except that he wears the turban of India, green in color, denoting his religious work and also indicating that he comes from the educated class.
“Dr Sadiq delivered a lecture on spiritualism at the IOOF hall Sunday evening.
“In this country, two years spreading the faith of the Prophet[sa], Dr Sadiq declared today he had made 200 converts, ‘more than some of your missionaries have made who came to India,’ he declared.
“Discussing Indian affairs, Dr Sadiq declared today that the educated class of India are in favor of British dominion government for their empire. He is not a follower of Gandhi the great Indian leader, now in prison, whose doctrine of resistance to English rule has gained a large following.
“Educated in Indian schools, later in England, Dr Sadiq speaks excellent English. He was sent here by the Ahmadia Movement of India founded by the Prophet Ahmad[as] of India.”
(It is a mistake that the editor [of Benton Harbor Daily News-Palladium] called me a Prophet in his article. A Prophet, according to the Sacred Law, is only he who has been entitled by God as such. No one must be called a Prophet for being a Teacher, Reformer or a Missioner. – Ed.)
The awakening of the West
4. The learned Dr Frank Crane’s very readable editorial in “The Current Opinion’ for April 1922, headed as “What the Orient Thinks of Us” might be taken up as a sign of the awakening of the West to the realities of facts. We give a few excerpts out of it here and recommend the whole to those who like to read a substantial thinking mind:
“China, and still more Japan, despise the western foreigners because they have received so many humiliating proofs of our immorality and profound hypocrisy.
“For instance, and first of all, the religion of the East appears to them much more rational than ours. But the principal point in regard to religion – and it may be remembered that in religion is where races most profoundly differ – is the fact that, whatever their religion may be, in the East they practise it, while in the West, not only do we not practise our religion but we openly make a boast of not practising it, and ridicule any among us who claims that he does practise it.
“The religion of the Orient may be all wrong, but at least Orientals are honest about it, and its precepts are kept by all classes, from the most exalted Mandarin to the lowest coolie, and are kept quite as much by the courtesan and the thief as by the priest and the college professor.
“They look with amazement upon a civilization such as ours which constantly preaches one set of principles, such as brotherly love, non-resistance, honesty, forbearance, charity and helpfulness, and whose whole business life is organized on principles directly contrary to these, and whose every act of politics is a negation of the creed which is preached in the churches.
“Western civilization has created vast legal monsters without souls, such as trusts, stock companies, and other inhuman combinations of capital.
“Bolshevism is nothing but a manifestation of that malady which spreads throughout all the West; like all socialism, its spirit is purely material, and to the Oriental the cry of the envious poor is as disgusting as the successful rich. The trouble with both of them is that they have made prosperity their god.
“The West kept on lynching the black men and rejecting the yellow men, while it spoke of universal brotherhood and humanity.
“Asia has undoubtedly a civilization whose form is nobler than ours, but it is dead. The dominating religion of the Orient is the cult of the dead. The beauty of the Orient is the beauty of a lifeless statue.
“The West is ugly, it is wicked, it is violent. But it has in it the one thing needful, which is life.”

In The Moslem Sunrise, issue II, 1923, page 190, he mentions his tour of New York, Buffalo and Pittsburgh. The Buffalo Times under the heading “Islam Missioner Visits Buffalo” reported:
“Muhammadans of this city are rejoicing for Dr. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, first and only missionary of Islam to come to America, is here this week. Although he has been in America for three years, this is the doctor’s first visit to Buffalo …” (The Buffalo Times, 13 February 1923, page 15).
Maulvi Muhammad Din – who reached Chicago on 29 March 1923 – was to replace him in America (Al Fazl, 14 May 1923). He spent nearly three months with the new missionary and handed him charge of the mission. While awaiting the travel expenses from Qadian, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq visited yet more cities. As he had not yet visited the western part of America, he intended to depart from the west coast for India via Japan. That would also enable him to convey the message of Islam in western America, but the delay of travel expenses from Qadian made him give up this idea and he ended up visiting neighbouring areas instead.
In early July 1923, he was in Ashland, Kentucky and Huntington, West Virginia. Local newspapers Ashland Daily Independent and The Sunday Advertiser Huntington published his interviews (The Moslem Sunrise, July 1923, issue 4, p. 275). Travelling further, he reached Williamson, West Virginia and met some Muslims working as coal miners (Al Fazl, 4 September 1923). Logan, West Virginia was his next stop where he was invited by some locals.
In his report in Al Fazl, dated 9 October 1923, he mentioned his stay and preaching activities in Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York.
As he was to depart from the Port of Boston, he travelled to Boston, making a short stay in Springfield, Massachusetts. He made good use of his time before departure by delivering eminently successful lectures in Peabody, a city in the suburban area of the North Shore in Massachusetts.
On 8 September 1923, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq travelled by ship from America to Europe, staying a few weeks in France. He landed in British India on September 18, 1923, and arrived in Darul Aman on December 4, 1923 in the afternoon.
Maulvi Muhammad Din relieved the famous Mufti Muhammad Sadiq in late April-July 1923. He wrote many essay’s in the ROR and seems to be fluent in english, in fact, he was editor of the ROR from 1918-Jan-1923, when he went to the USA. The Ahmadiyya Movement claims that he has a B.A. degree. He stayed in America until 1925.

The ROR mentions how he is enroute to America and has stopped in the UK.

By April, he was in the USA and his photo appeared in the Moslem Sunrise of April-May 1923. He wrote articles for the ROR also.

Who is Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali? – ahmadiyyafactcheckblog
Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was sent by the 2nd Khalifa, he was a Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary and sent to the USA wherein he served from 1928 to 1948. He was relieved in 1948 by Khalil Ahmad Nasir.
The Ahmadiyya Movement claims that he held the M.A. Degree, however, this is most likely a lie. He mostly worked out of State street in Chicago, illinois. He was also the main editor with the Moslem Sunrise. The Moslem Sunrise ceased to publish from late 1924 to 1930, it was Sufi Bengalee who re-started it. In the ROR of Oct-1932 he is listed as a graduate degree holder, (M.A.). Also spelled Sufi M.R. Bengalee.
The Ahmadiyya Movement recently admitted that the FBI did connect Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali and Zafrullah Khan with Master Fard and Elijah Muhammad. In this video Dr. Fanusie explains how Ahmadiyya created the Nation of Islam. At 2:40 seconds, she says that Master Fard Muhammad was sent to America on a secret underground Lahori-Ahmadi assignment in 1930. In another video she talks about the same thing, that Lahori-Ahmadis created Elijah Muhammad, at the 4:41 mark.

“During the year, 115 lectures were delivered at various clubs, churches and societies with the number of audiences ranging between 500 and 3,000. Fifteen of these lectures focused on the life of the Holy Prophetsa – a topic, for obvious reasons, of great importance in this day and age and the best approach in the propagation of Islam. Such absurdities are attributed to the character of the Holy Prophetsa that the image of Islam is badly distorted; it is only through presenting to the public the true beautiful character of the Holy Prophetsa that the allegations can be addressed.”
He is mentioned in the ROR of Aug-1933, as well as his missionary work in America. He seems to have just returned from a preaching tour of Michigan, wherein he tried to convert Syrian Muslims to Ahmadiyya and failed. He also travelled to Indianapolis and Detroit. He alleges to have converted 60 people to Ahmadiyya in 1933.
He is mentioned in the ROR of Sep-1933, he will be representing the Ahmadiyya Movement at a “Conference of Religions”, during Chicago’s Second World Fair, June-Nov-1933. It also has a report from Dr. Muhammad Yusuf from America about the spread of Ahmadiyya in Cleveland, Ohio, they allege to have 300 Ahmadi’s in Cleveland.
The ROR of Nov-1933 has a report from Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali wherein he tells how Zafrullah Khan stayed briefly in Chicago and went back to Toronto, Canada on Sep-7-1933. By the time this edition of the ROR was published, Zafrullah Khan was in England. Zafrullah Khan is doing some type of work with some “Joint Select Committee”. Zafrullah Khan is expected to be back in British-India the 3rd week of December. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali escorted Zafrullah Khan to Detroit on his way out of America.

In one conference held on September 1, 1935, Bengalee attempted to give a practical example of favourable race relation among his converts. He introduced a white convert, Muhammad Ahmad, and a black convert, Omar Khan. The two discussed Islamic qualities concerning race relations. Perhaps, the most conspicuous was a conference at the Chicago Temple Building, attended by speakers of various religious and racial backgrounds. The conference which was entitled, “How Can We Overcome Color and Race Prejudice?” was attended by over 2000 people.[39]

Mirza Monawar Ahmad is working as a junior Maulvi. He is there working under Khalil Ahmad Nasir and with Maulvi Ghulam Yasin (also spelled Yaseen). Per Ahmadiyya sources, Maulvi Ghulam Yasin (also spelled Yaseen) showed up in the USA as a missionary in 1947. He was working under Khalil Ahmad Nasir (Missionary-in-charge in the USA until 1959). In 1954-1955, when Rashid Ahmad came back from Rabwah, he claimed that Rashid Ahmad had totally wasted his time in Rabwah and learned nothing. he was also the uncle of Rashid Ahmad’s wife, he immediately took her back to Pakistan and forbade Rashid Ahmad from communicating with her. This condition lasted for 12 years.
