Intro
Maulvi Daud Ahmad Hanif is an employee of the Mirza family, he is known as the longtime Ameer for Ahmadi’s in the Gambia starting in 1966-1996 (see page 139). Ahmadiyya sources also allege that he allegedly obtained an MA from the University of the Punjab in 1976, however, this would mean that he moved back to Pakistan in roughly 1972 and spent 4 years in college and not working.
By at least 1983, he became the Ameer for Ahmadi’s in the Gambia (see page 150). He also toured and managed Ahmadiyya schools and hospitals in Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, and Cape Verde. He seems to have known the Dibba family.
In 1996, he was transferred to the USA from the Gambia. From 2004-2010 he was Missionary-in-Charge and Naib Amir in the US. He served as the Naib Amir of the US for 12 years as well as the Imam of the New York Metro Jamaat, where he was also responsible for looking after six South American Countries.
The 20th Anniversary Dinner for Humanity First-Canada was held in 2024, see herein. In 2024, Humanity First’s #1 priority is their Refugee Resettlement Program, which is run by Ahmadi only workers. In fact, no other Humanity First in the world has this feature. In this program, they raise money to get Ahmadi’s who are stuck in refugee camps, out of those scenarios. Or they allege to do so. We haven’t seen any balance sheets. Nevertheless, this is how the Ahmadiyya Movement gets Ahmadi’s to the west via asylum. They didn’t give specific countries. Humanity First then gets an allocation from the Canadian government of visas, at which point they decide how to distribute them. Aslam Daud was there, Lal Khan Malik was there, Hadi Ali Chaudhary and Maulvi Daud Ahmad Hanif.

Hi, was hoping to get your opinion on one of the articles written by Maulvi Daud Ahmed Hanif on the Al-Islam website (“The Divine Guidance about Leadership in the Latter Days”).
In the section, “Mahdi in India” he quotes the Hasan (good) hadith from the Sunan an Nasa – Book of Jihad, “…Holy Prophet has said that there will be two parties in my people whom Allah has saved…..” However, I noticed that in the actual hadith it states, “…the group that INVADES India,” but, Hanif had changed the translation/wording to “…one of them WILL FIGHT in India” in his article on the website. My first thought was that this is another misinterpretation of information to fit the Ahmadiyya narrative of the Messiah being from India. Let me know what you think. (Also lol I am not 100% sure that this is the same Hanif as in your posting)

Yes, that is him and yes, he purposely mis-translated it.
