Br. Murasil Shafeek was the President of Ahmadiyya jamaat in Dayton for 20 years, from 1939 to 1959.

The first Ahmadiyya purpose-built temple/masjid opened in 1963 at 637 Randolph St, Dayton, Ohio. Before this Mosque was built, Wali Kareem and his wife’s sister, Kareema Shafeek had built a fish pond with gold fish in it.

At this point in time, the Ahmadiyya Movement in the USA owned 2 residences (which they were calling Mosques), one in Chicago (on Wabash Ave) and another residence in Washington D.C. (The American Fazl Mosque). In fact, by 1950, Ahmadiyya was dead in America (See Hatim A. Sahib, “The Nation of Islam” ,M.A. thesis, University of Chicago, 1951). After visiting many times in March of 1950, Hatim A. Sahib noticed that there were a few (5 people) at the daily prayers and barely 50 member’s total. He also noticed that there were no membership records going back to 1921 or even 1941.

The first ever USA-Jalsa was also held in Dayton, Ohio (and the 2nd USA Jalsa). Shafeek (and his wife, Kareema Shafeek), was introduced to Qadianism by Br. Abdul Lateef (1873-1938). Other pioneer members are Br. Wali Kareem and his wife, Sis. Lateefa Kareem, and Br. Abdul Qadir (see the Moslem Sunrise of 1976, Jalsa edition). It seems that Wali Kareem donated his personal land in Dayton wherein the temple/mosque was erected (they lived next door). Wali Kareem also donated to the construction of the temple, which was named “Fazi-i-Omar Mosque”. However, the same Ahmadiyya sources allege that Br. Abdul Qadir contributed the most financially. The widows of Wali Kareem and Abdul Qadir were still alive in 1976.

They began building the temple mosque (aka “Fazi-i-Omar Mosque”) in 1953, however, it wasn’t completed and construction started again in 1963, which coincided with the arrival of the first ever “in-residence” Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary, Abdul Hameed (also spelled Major Abdul Hamid)(see the Moslem Sunrise of 1976, Jalsa edition). Major Abdul Hamid was the head Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi from 1963 to 1967.

Per Qadiani-Ahmadi sources the “Fazi-i-Omar Mosque” was finally opened in 1963. In 2012, there were massive renovations that took place and transformed the temple into a bigger structure.

Major Abdul Hamid left in 1967 and was replaced by Maqbool Ahmad Qureshi (mis-spelled as Queslin), which was barely 1967-1969. He is unknown. He was replaced with Abdur Rahman Khan Bengalee (aka A.R. Khan), he died in Dayton in 1972, he was replaced by Mian Muhammad Ibrahim in 1973. In 2024, Maulvi Usama Rehman is the head Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi in Dayton, Ohio.

Muzaffar Ahmad Zafar is a famous Qadiani-Ahmadi from Dayton, Ohio. I knew one of his sons and hung out with him at the 1995 MKA-USA Jalsa. None of his children are Ahmadi anymore. Al-Haj Abdur Rahim Zafar is another famous Ahmadi from Dayton, OH.
