Intro
Munir Hamid converted to Qadianism when he was barely 15. Thus, Mr. Munir Hamid of Philadelphia was a pioneer member of the Qadiani’s in America. However, just like all other African-American-Qadiani’s, his children aren’t interested in Ahmadiyya. Someone who alleges to be his son (Tariq Hamid) did comment in the bottom, however, where are the rest? Is Tariq Hamid a chanda paying member? What is his rank in Ahmadiyya?

In 1969 the Missionary in Charge, U.S.A. Maulvi A.R. Khan Bengali, appointed Mr. Munir Hamid of Philadelphia to hold the office of First National Qaid of the USA jamaat. The organization had ten different departments as advised by the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa. The local branches were established and Khuddam started implementing the national programs in local majalis.

In 2002, he was working as the Assistant Vice President of Ahmadiyya jamaat in the USA and seems to have worked in that capacity until he died.

He died in 2009 and was eulogized by Mirza Masroor Ahmad. See his some of funeral herein.

He died.

An eminent elder Munir Hamid sahib, an Afro-American passed away on 21st February. He was an extremely sincere Ahmadi who had taken his bai’at at the age of fifteen. He was the first Qaid of Khuddamul Ahmadiyya USA and was the president of the Philadelphia Jama’at for more than thirty years. Currently he held the position of naib Ameer of USA. Huzur said his parents were not Muslims, his mother a practising Christian. From ten siblings he was the only religious one. At the time of his bai’at the rule was to have the bai’at form attested by a family elder. His mother refused to attest his form but acknowledged that he was the most spiritual among all her children. At that time he also wrote to Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih II (may Allah be pleased with him) and said the reply he received changed the course of his life. Huzur said he had met him and found him to be most courteous. His ardent love for the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was such that each time he mention his name he would be in tears. He had great love for the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and devotion to the Khulafa. Huzur said the first time he met him he was on his way to attend Jalsa at Bangladesh. On his way back to USA, he met Huzur again and said that after the Jalsa in Bangladesh and meeting with Huzur he was recharged. Huzur said he could not attend the USA Jalsa last year due to ill health. Huzur said had he known the detail of his illness he would have made time to visit him at his home. He leaves behind a widow, two daughters and a son. Huzur said he was one of those people who are especially guided by Allah.
