Intro
A few weeks ago, an anonymous Qadiani-Ahmadi who has named himself as Sohail Mirza on twitter engaged me about my book review on “Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam”. He had previously attempted to engage me about the finances of Ahmadiyya Movement Corporation in Canada, however, he dropped out of the conversation once things got complicated.
Nevertheless, he objected to my evaluation in terms of the English translation of a specific passage in “Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam” wherein MGA was asserting that a man must divorce his wife simply based on her conversation (flirting) with a man. He objected over the word “preliminaries”, however, he refused to pull the original Urdu and dive deep! Damon Stengel helped me pull the Urdu and Damon proved how the word was “muqadmaat”.
Thus, we pulled the first print edition of “Philosophy of the Teachings of Islam”, which was published in the ROR of 1902 (see the full ref in the below). The entire translated of the same text is totally different. The 1910 edition is different, the 2010 edition is also different. I asked Sohail Mirza about all of this and he took off running. We also pulled the original 1905 edition and confirmed the Urdu.

Review of religions 1902 version, page 122-123
“None is more wicked than the infamous villain who causes the loss of a wife to a husband and that of a mother to her children, and thus violently disturbs the peace of the whole household, bringing ruin upon the head of both, the guilty wife and the innocent husband and children.”

مثلاً جو شخص کسی کی بیوی سے نا جائز حرکت کا مرتکب ہو یا مثلاً زنا تو نہیں مگر اس کے مقدمات مرد اور عورت دونوں سے ظہور میں آئیں تو کچھ شک نہیں کہ اس غیرت مند مظلوم کی ایسی بیوی کو جو زنا کرانے پر راضی ہوگئی تھی
“””maslan jo shakhs kisi ki biwi se na jaaiz harkat ka murtakib ho ya maslan zina to nahi magar is ke muqadmaat mard aur aurat dono se zahuur mein ayen to kuch shak nahi ke is ghairat mand mazloom ki aisi biwi ko jo zina karanay par raazi hogayi thi””
“”For example, if a person is guilty of an unlawful act with someone’s wife, or for example, it is not adultery, but his cases are revealed by both men and women, then there is no doubt that the wife of the jealous oppressor who agreed to commit adultery.”””

1910
Muhammad Ali English version 1910
“For example, if a person is guilty of an unlawful act with someone’s wife, or for example, it is not adultery, but his cases are revealed by both men and women, then there is no doubt that the wife of the jealous oppressor who agreed to commit adultery. None is more wicked than the infamous villain who causes the loss of a wife to a husband and of a mother to her children, and thus violently disturbs the peace of a household, bringing ruin upon the head of both, the guilty wife and the innocent husband, not to talk of the children.”

2010
Philosophy of the teachings of Islam 2010 version
“For instance, if a person is guilty of an approach towards the wife of another which, though it does not proceed as far as adultery, yet amounts to its preliminaries, it would become incumbent upon the self-respecting husband of the woman to divorce her on account of her willingness to tolerate such an approach. Her children would also be sadly afflicted. The husband would have to endure all this injury on account of the misconduct of a villain.”
