Intro
The first official Ahmadiyya temple was opened in 1934, in Chicago, on 4448 S. Wabash Ave (See Moslem Sunrise, Nov-1934). However, it was acquired by Mufti Muhammad Sadiq and his team in 1922. In 1922, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq bought a 2-storey house at 4448 Wabash Ave, Chicago, iLL. It’s unclear as to where he got the money from. He then had some weird looking minarets erected and called it “Al-Masjid” (The Masjid)(the Moslem Sunrise (Oct-1922). The Moslem Sunrise of Jan-1923 mentions how this alleged mosque was also a library and housing for Ahmadiyya missionaries and their wives/mistresses. Even the ROR of Jan-Feb-March-1923 tells the world that only a portion of this house on Wabash is considered a mosque. The Jan-1924 edition of the ROR has the 4448 Wabash Ave, Chicago, iLL address listed as the headquarters of Ahmadiyya in America. Maulvi Muhammad Din was the Ahmadi Maulvi in-charge from 1923-1924, he seems to have been forcibly exiled by the U.S. government, he lived at Wabash for one year. Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf seems to have been in-charge in the USA from 1924-1928. In 1926, Mary Caroline Holmes alleges that only negroes have converted to Ahmadiyya, 900 of them and that the newspaper “The Moslem Sunrise” has ceased to exist. She says that Mohemmad Yusuf Khan is working as the “Missionary-in-Charge”. She claims that a few negroes are converting to Islam as a result of their persecution by whites in America.
It seems that in April-May of 1927, a Professor named Andrew T. Hoffert (who was working at Chicago University) wrote about the Ahmadiyya Movement and its operations. Andrew T. Hoffert claims to have visited the Mission house on 4448 Wabash Ave and even entered several homes of the Negro’s that had converted to Qadianism. He claimed that Ahmadiyya was a product of Western culture, Christian missionaries and Islamic reform and many other things. Hoffert visited the Ahmadiyya headquarters in 1927 and revealed that there were 60-70 active members of the Ahmadiyya Community, the vast majority Negroes. Hoffert claims that Ahmadiyya has spread to Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis and St. Louis. He claims that in NY there was some membership too, but it dwindled over the years. He visited the Chicago mission on Wabash and observed barely 25-40 active members attending the various meetings (See Andrew T. Hoffert, “The Moslem Movement in America,” The Moslem World, 20 (1930): 309). His essay on Ahmadiyya was published verbatim in the ROR of Dec-1927. It was initially published in the “The Messenger”, dated 9 (May 1927): 141, 160; John Van Ess, “A Moslem Mosque in Chicago,” Neglected Arabia 141 (1927): 13-15. The title of the article was “Moslem Propaganda”. He also wrote about the Ahmadiyya in 1930, via the Muslim World Magazine (See scans in the below). This was reproduced in ROR of Aug-Sep-1930.
Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali showed up in the USA in 1928. He rented a new location as his office (See the Moslem Sunrise of July-1930). The new location was at 56 E. Congress St., Suite-1307, Chicago, ILL. This remained the Ahmadiyya headquarters until 1941 wherein it changed to 220 South State St., Suite-1010.
By 1950, Ahmadiyya in the USA had totally failed, barely 200 members remained, 5 mission houses, NO MOSQUES (the temple on Wabash Ave being the only pseudo mission house). Later on in 1950, the Ahmadiyya Movement seems to have moved its headquarters to Washington D.C., in a house which they were calling a Mosque (See the Muslim Sunrise-1950, 2nd Q). In 1952, the Ahmadiyya Movement was again calling the lot at 4448 Wabash Ave as their mission house (not a mosque)(See the Muslim Sunrise-1952, 3rd Quarter). In 1994 (Oct-23), a purpose-built mosque was built on an adjacent lot, however, they seem to have kept the address at 4448 Wabash Ave (See page 85).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ After arriving in the USA in 1920, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq preyed on the Muslim Community in NY (the American Mohammedan Society) and got no traction, he was probably shunned for forced to go away once his beliefs were found out. Sadiq was in NY for about 6 months, he targeted the American Mohammedan Society, which was formed in 1907, The community bought this building in 1927 and it remains in their custody to this day. Also known as the Powers Street Mosque (and the Brooklyn Moslem Mosque), the oldest surviving mosque in New York sits on a quiet road in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It is a two-story, late 19th-century former church, now covered in white, wooden slats, topped by an ornate turret and crescent. The design hints at the origins of the mosque’s founders—ethnic Tatars from the Baltic states of Lithuania, Poland and Belarus, where all the mosques once looked like this.
In June of 1920, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was invited to Detroit by the local Muslim Community and the Al-Bayan newspaper. He returned to NY and then in August/September 1920, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq moved to Chicago and began his propaganda.
In February 1921, he was invited again to Detroit for lectures, so he arrived there on 5 February 1921. With the characteristic hospitality of Arab Muslims, he was offered a friendly and generous reception and accommodation. He stayed for more than a month in Detroit and its suburb Highland Park with these Arab Muslim friends and delivered a series of lectures on Islam. In February of1921, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq delivered a lecture on Islam at the auto workers hall in Detroit, Michigan (seen here). He met a man named Muhammed Karoub, a Syrian immigrant real state agent, who was trying to build a mosque for the local Muslim community who were working at the Ford plant. This study explores interethnic and intersectarian relations among these early Muslims (Arab, Turkish, Eastern European, and South Asian; Sunni, Shiʿi, Ahmadiyya, and Sufi) and their campaign to build the first mosque in the United States outside the gates of Henry Ford’s Highland Park automobile factory. The Moslem Mosque of Highland Park was meant to stand as a unifying symbol of Islam in the United States, to educate Americans about the growing Muslim presence in their midst, and to link Detroit’s Muslims to those overseas. Despite these lofty ambitions, the first American mosque was also the first to fail. The chapter parses in detail the motives for the mosque’s construction, the reasons for its demise, and the significance of this failure for the building efforts that would follow.
By March 1921, he was back in Chicago, he had met with the Muslims in Highland park and promised to return when the mosque opened. On the way to Chicago, he was given a warm welcome by the Syrian community of Michigan City, Indiana. A banquet was also held in his honour where he delivered a lecture (Al-Bayan, 29 March, 1921, p. 3). The whole programme was announced earlier in The Michigan City News on 8 March, 1921.
In April of 1921, 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 May of 1921 (via Al Fazl, 19 May 1921 and the Detroit News), Mufti Sadiq has successfully converted a white woman to Ahmadiyya, her name is Ella May Garber (also known as Mrs EM Garber, or Siddiqatun Nisa Rahatullah. She is allegedly preparing to travel to India and become a female missionary for the Ahmadiyya Movement. This is part of Mufti Muhammad Sadiq and other Ahmadi editors lied about white converts to Ahmadiyya from Europe and America. She is mentioned again in the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1921, she is alleged to be giving lectures in NY. She totally disappeared soon thereafter.
In June of 1921, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq returned to Highland Park and led the Eid prayer at the new mosque. The sermon delivered by Hussain Karoub, the brother of Muhammad Karoub. The Eid celebration continued after the Eid prayer as a parade was arranged on Victor Ave. He seems to have led an Eid prayer on June 9th, 1921 with 2 Syrian Muslim Imams, Hussein Karoub and Kalil Bazzy (see pages 49-50).
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”. He launches the Muslim Sunrise from Detroit, 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 thanks Mr. Muhammad Karroub and his wife for hosting him in Detroit.
The July-1922 edition of the Moslem Sunrise states the same, permanent quarters of our [Ahmadiyya] Mission have now been established in Chicago where I have bought a large house – a part of which with necessary alterations has been fixed up into a Mosque and the rest decorated and furnished as the Mission House and the office of The Moslem Sunrise. This building owned by the Ahmadia Movement is situated on Wabash Ave. and 45th Street, Northwest Corner. We appreciate the pains taken by our dear Brother Muhammed Yaqub (Mr Andrew Jacob) – carpenter, in making the Mehrab and the Gumbad (Arch and Dome) of the Mosque.
The 6th edition of the Moslem Sunrise (Oct-1922) was published from 4448 Wabash Ave, Chicago, iLL. There is a photo of Mufti Muhammad Sadiq at the feet of MGA on page 134. The official merger of the Review of Religions and Moslem Sunrise are announced for the upcoming Jan-1923 edition. The newspaper will now be called, “The Moslem Sunrise and Review of Religions”. Mufti Sadiq announces the completion of his pseudo mosque. He named it “Al-Masjid” (The Masjid).
The 7th edition of the Moslem Sunrise (Jan-1923) has a photo of Mufti Muhammad Sadiq on the cover. Maulvi Mubarak Ali is mentioned as the Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi in England and Mufti Muhammad Sadiq is the head Maulvi in America (see page 159). Mufti Muhammad Sadiq alleges that he has travelled to North Dakota and Minnesota and gave lectures. A photo of the tomb of Yuz Asaf is also given. This seems to be the oldest photo of the house ever. 303 converts are reported. Makes the total as 606. It is also mentioned how the Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi in London (Sayyal) has been able to successfully sent letters to the Qadiani mission house on Wabash in Chicago, the letters should be dated “The Masjid”, a phone number is also given.
The Moslem Sunrise of Apr. & July 1923 quotes the Minneapolis News and the Knoxville Nes as that allege that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq has recently opened the only mosque in America (this is a lie).
The Moslem Sunrise of Jan-1924 reports how The Chicago Daily Journal called the building on Wabash as an “improvised Mosque”.
By the end of 1922 (most probably in October), he travelled to Ross and Stanley, North Dakota (nearly 970 miles from Chicago). This is believed to be the farthest journey he had taken towards the west.

1934
In the Moslem Sunrise of Nov-1934, Zafrullah Khan writes a letter of congratulations to Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali and the Ahmadi’s in the USA as they opened their first ever Mosque (on Wabash). Charles F. Weller was there too, he was the organizer of the 2nd Parliament of Religions, organized by the World Fellowship of Faiths in Aug-Sep-1933. In press reports, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali kept saying that there are 6000 Moslems in Chicago.

1939-1940
Via the Moslem Sunrise of First Quarter-1940, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali only gives one address for Ahmadiyya in America, 56 Congress St, Suite 1102, Chicago, Il. On Dec-29-1939, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was in Logan, West Virginia and looking to speak to the community of Syrian Muslims (about 50) who were working therein. He stayed until roughly Jan-4-1940. Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was staying at the Aracome Hotel and was giving lectures therein. A letter to the 2nd Qadiani Khalifa is also given in congratulations for his 25 years of Khilafat. Timothy Titus Smith (aka Nurool-Islam) gives a report of the “Activities of the Ahmadiyya Moslem Mosque Chicago”. Ramadhan started on Oct-13-1939 and allegedly, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali was leading Tarawih prayers for the first 10 days, however, he became ill and someone else led the congregation. On Jan-19-1940, Eid-ul-Azha was held at the Chicago Temple/Mosque on Wabash in Chicago. Speeches were given by Bro Omar Cleveland (white man), Bro Omar Khan (black man) and Bro Noorudin. The Moslem Sunrise alleges that similar events were held at Ahmadiyya centers in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Dayton and Kansas City.

1949
This photo was taken in 1949 at 4448 S. Wabash, now known as Masjid Al-Sadiq, Chicago. That building structure, in the background, was the original building that Mufti Muhammad Sadiq purchased in 1920 and was the National HQ of the AMI USA. According to some this was the 1st National Lajna meeting, which was held in 1949. During this meeting elections were held for Lajna’s National officers.

For three consecutive years Abdul Jamil, pictured below and Alhaj Dhul-Waqar Yaqub’s Aunt, Hameeda Khatoon Chambers kept the 4448 South Wabash Chicago masjid open. During those times (early 60s) they were the only two Ahmadis in Chicago. They paid the electric, gas and water bills monthly as well as performed the Jummah services every week. Abdul Jamil had a 2nd job driving a taxi at night. He would make sure that he picked fares in the area close to the masjid so that he could check on the building during the night. Hameeda Khatoon would check on the building and offers her prayers there during the day. May Allah bless them both for their sense of duty and devotion to His Cause.
