Intro
In 1945, Maulvi Ghulam Ahmad Bashir was part of a group of 9 Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi’s who were being sent to Europe to work and help the Mirza family grow their social entrepreneurial business (See Tarikh-e-Ahmadiyyat, Vol. 9, p. 525).
Their names were:
Malik Ata-ur-Rehman (Amir of the delegation), Chaudhry Zahoor Ahmad Bajwa, Hafiz Qudratullah, Chaudhry Allah Ditta (Ataullah), Chaudhry Karam Ilahi Zafar, Chaudhry Muhammad Ishaq Saqi, Maulvi Muhammad Usman, Master Muhammad Ibrahim, Maulvi Ghulam Ahmad Bashir, Maulvi Basharat Ahmad Naseem and Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali.
On October 13, 1946 the three Ahmadi missionaries, Shaikh Nasir Ahmad, Abdul Latif and Ghulam Ahmad Bashir met in Zurich, Switzerland, intending to establish a mission in Germany. However, due to the recent conclusion of the war, they were unable to enter the country. As a result, a mission was established in Zurich instead. Soon after, Abdul Latif and Ghulam Ahmad Bashir left the country for the Netherlands, whilst Sheikh Nasir Ahmad continued to serve Switzerland for the following 16 years, until 1962. During this period a German translation of the Quran was published and an Islamic journal Der Islam was founded. (Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around The World – A Pictorical Presentation. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community; Khilafat Centenary Edition. 2008. ISBN 978-1882494514).
In what seems to be July of 1946, in London, 14 Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi’s took a picture together (see Rashid Ahmad’s, “Perseverance”, page 44). The Al-Hakam alleges that 9 of them were sent from Qadian.
