Intro
Nazeer Elahi alleges that he converted to Ahmadiyya in 1928 under Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf Khan in Cincinatti, he was then made into a Sheikh and worked in Pittsburgh, Youngstown and finally Dayton (see the Moslem Sunrise of Dec-1975).
In January of 1934, Yusuf Khan was published in a local newspaper and seems to have arrived to work in Cleveland and is working with Wali Akram and Sheikh Nasir Ahmad and a whole bunch of African American’s who were former members of the Moorish Science Temple (Aka Walter Smith Bey)(See “My Message to the Moslems,” Cleveland Call and Post, January 6, 1934, 4;, via Bowen). He signed off his letter as M. Yusuf Khan. There is another article about “Youngstown Moslems” by Amtul Majeed, in this specific article, there seems to be a woman named Madame Begum who is giving speeches. The location in Youngstown Moslem is at 960 South Rigby St, Youngstown, Ohio. Bro Ali Mubarik and his sister Azeema Mubarik are also mentioned. Dr. M. Yusuf Khan is their leader. The 3rd article in this is about “Activities of The Braddock Mosque” by Abdullah Easa. Sheikh M. Omar, Ahmad Omar and Sheikh Akmal are also mentioned and gave speeches. They were taking new converts on Dec-25-1933 in 135 Linden Ave, Duquesne in Pittsburgh, PA. The first woman to join up was Mrs. Coleman, then Daniel Moore then Bro Coleman. At the end, Sheikh Akmal appointed Bro M. Rafeek as President and Bro Mataza as Vice President. The 4th article is about the Dayton Mosque, Sheikh Nazeer Elahi (his name is spelled as Shaikh Nazier Eliehee) is named as the Imam of the mosque. Dr. Y.M. Khan is their supreme leader. The 5th article is about Ahmadiyya in Cincinatti, Dr. M.Y. Khan is their leader by Y. Waheed.
In Jan-1934, via the Cleveland Call and Post (of Sat, Jan 20, 1934 ·Page 4) report that the people of the Cleveland “Head Mosque” were surprised by a lecture from Wali Mohammed aka the medicine man, Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf Khan also spoke. A photo of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was given in the newspaper, Tuesday night, 7pm. The same newspaper mentions the news of the “Mother Mosque” as well, and how a man named Shaikh Wali Dod gave a speech and was referred to as God. This appeared on the “Religion” page of the newspaper and was a daily or bi-daily publication and MGA’s face appeared many times. News from the Dayton Mosque via Sheikh Nazeer Elahi is also given, this is the Ahmadiyya mission, Dr. M.Y. Khan is listed as the missionary. However, simultaneously, Dr. M.Y. Khan is teaching the other 2 groups of Muslims, one by Brother Abdullah Farook. The other by Omar Mohammed who had recently returned, they both seem to be connected to Dr. M.Y. Khan and Brother Abdullah Farook. Sheikh Nazeer Elahi gave a speech on “The Life of Mohammed”. The Mosque has recently moved to 216 Euclid Ave. Interestingly, the Cleveland Mosque, which is ran by Sheikh Nasir Ahmed is mentioned and money was being collected for the travel expenses ($2) of the Ahmadiyya missionary, Dr. M.Y. Khan, who will allegedly represent them to the East. The Colombus Mosque by Rasheed Hosas is also mentioned, the rope of Allah is discussed.
Sheikh Nazeer Elahi was mentioned in 1979 by Jameela Hakim as a pseudo-Ahmadi who was made into a Sheikh (it seems to be via Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf Khan). This relates to the mid-1930’s, it seems that even after the great schism in Ahmadiyya (Pittsburgh and Cleveland), Sheikh Nazeer Elahi was one of the few African-American’s who remained a Qadiani-Ahmadi (see the Moslem Sunrise of Dec-1975).
