These photo’s were tweeted by Yasser Latif Hamdani, Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a puppet dictator of the West and planted as the founder of Pakistan. Majlis e Ahrar and many additional Muslims called Jinnah “Kafir-e-Azam” was because Jinnah refused to call Ahmadis as Non-Muslim’s and refused to expel them from the Muslim League. This is from Majlis e Ahrar’s own official history.

Nevertheless, when Jinnah died, Zafrullah Khan refused to join the funeral prayer and blamed it on the imam, Shabir Ahmad Usmani (served as Shaykh al-Islām of Pakistan in 1949), since Usmani had cursed MGA, however, he had also cursed Shia’s.

Abdul Basit Shahid is the father of Asif Basit (Director of Programming for MTA International & Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Archives).

Abdul Basit Shahid was born in Qadian in 1933, Abdul Basit Shahid was still alive in 2022, at 89 years old and living in the UK with his family (we assume). His father was Abdur Raheem Diyanat, he owned a convenience store which was situated in Ahmadiyya Chowk, by the gate of Dar-ul-Masih – right in the beating heart of Qadian. What then formed his shopfront had once been part of Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan‘s (son-in-law of MGA) residence. It stood facing every person that walked towards Masjid Mubarak or actually, every person that walked from one part of Qadian to the other. It was very much a character on the stage of Qadian.

From 1933 to 1947, he grew up in the streets of Qadian and in total admiration of the Mirza family. In 1947, he moved to Lahore and then to Qadian with his family. Abdul Basit Shahid alleges to have heard speeches by Ataullah Shah Bukhari and Shorish Kashmiri and scoffed at them. Since there was no bazaar in the Jalsa Gah, shopkeepers were hence expected to keep their shops open – my father being no exception. He also remembers that when he moved to Lahore during the partition of 1947, he was told that Ahmadi’s would only be given one roti each. Abdul Basit Shahid also alleges that Maulvi Muhammad Ali came to Rattan Bagh (in Lahore) and met the 2nd Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa. He also lived in Chiniot when the Ahmadiyya Jamia temporarily moved therein in 1947.

In the 1960’s, He began working as a Maulvi in Karachi, the brother of Zafrullah Khan, Abdullah Khan was the Ameer of Ahmadi’s in the Karachi area. Maulvi Abdul Malik Khan was his mentor and the Chief Ahmadiyya Maulvi of Karachi in this era. He served in Pakistan for 15 years, in areas like Hyderabad, Lahore and Multan.

From 1965 onwards, Abdul Basit Shahid would be on the stage with Maulana Abul Ata and Maulana Abdul Maalik Khan when they were the muntazims of the stage programme respectively. Abdul Basit Shahid alleged that he would interrupt the speech of Mirza Nasir Ahmad (the 3rd Khalifa) and make jamaati announcements.

Asif Basit seems to be his youngest child and he was born in 1975.

By the 1990’s he was in the UK. At some point, he wrote Swanih Fazl-e-Umar, Vol. 3, 4 & 5, which is an autobiography of the life of Mirza Basheer ud din Mahmud Ahmad, the 2nd Khalifa.

Intro
Just a few days ago, Declan Henry interviewed a well-known employee of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Asif Basit. Check out my video response herein.

The interview was conducted at the biggest Ahmadiyya temple in the West, Baitul Futuh in a South London suburb. Declan Henry talks about attending the Jalsa Salana in 2018-2019. Interestingly, Asif said he didn’t know with certainty how many Ahmadi’s there are in the world in 2024, however, he knew specifical details about the amount of Ahmadi’s in Pakistan and the entire continent of Africa. First and foremost, it should be noted that Asif Basit Sahib holds a central position within the Jamaat. He has a close, trusting relationship with Hazoor and frequently receives direct instructions from him, as he has repeatedly emphasized (there are several videos on YouTube regarding this). It is therefore fair to say that he is very high up in the Jamaat’s information hierarchy. Although he is not part of the invisible inner circle of power, which consists exclusively of selected members of the Mirza family with full oversight of finances and figures, he is as high up as one can get without being a family member.

So, when he states that the Jamaat has 12 to 15 million members, one can assume that this represents the official narrative – regardless of the fact that this number is already greatly exaggerated. For simplicity’s sake, let’s assume this number is accurate. Why then does the Jamaat so blatantly deceive? Just yesterday, the German Jamaat issued a press release regarding next week’s Jalsa Salana. In the corresponding tweet, it states:

OV: „… Seine Heiligkeit vereint die weltweit größte muslimische Gemeinschaft von mehreren Zehnmillionen Anhängern aus 205 Ländern der Erde hinter sich.“

English: „… His Holiness unites the world’s largest Muslim community of several tens of millions of followers from 205 countries around the world behind him.“ Source

At 3:42, Asif Basit alleges that 42k people attended the 2024 UK Jalsa.
At 3:56, Declan Henry says that the 5th Khalifa does almost all of his speeches in Urdu, which is true, all at the Jalsa, and Friday’s. He barely speaks any English. Asif Basit deflected to generalities and conferences.
At 5:04, Mirza Masoor Ahmad speaks in Urdu to the vast majority of his followers (this is because roughly 80%+ are Desi and Urdu is their first language.
At 5:26, Asif Basit alleges that everything that the Khalifa has said in Urdu, he has also said in English, that’s a lie! What about the youth of the community?
At 6:15, Declan Henry wrote that there are 12 million Ahmadi’s in the world.
At 6:29, Asif Basit responds and alleges that he doesn’t work for the department which carries out censuses, and this type of census is not even possible! A total deflection! Asif says that he sticks to the figure of 12-15 million, which is an approximation. This is funny because Mirza Nasir Ahmad was alleging 10 million Ahmadi’s in the world back in 1969.
At 7:03, Asif Basit alleges that the majority of Ahmadi’s per country are in Pakistan in 2024, he said this with certainty. He then alleges that there are more Ahmadi’s on the continent of Africa in 2024 than Ahmadi’s in Pakistan in 2024. However, he doesn’t give any exact figures.
At 7:26 he argues that it is impossible to carry out censuses in Africa.
At 8:20, Declan Henry asks why Africans convert? Is it because of promises of wives, jobs, education and etc.? Asif Basir admits to it. Asif says that Islamic expansion happened without proper research, he cites the battles of the Khalifa Rashidun. He blames Islam!
11:20, wives and asylum! for marketing purposes?
12:00, Declan Henry talks about his book.
12:29, does Declan Henry know the Lahori belief on the birth of Adam (as)? Masroor has never tried to meet any lahori-ahmadi’s.
13:08, they are called Qadiani’s by the Lahori’s.
14:48, Qadiani’s and Lahori’s haven’t spoke for a long time!
15:39, lots of Lahori-Ahmadi’s in Fiji.
17:07, is Ahmadiyya a cult? Asif retorts that all religions are cults. Lahori’s, mainstream Muslims call Ahmadi’s a cult.
19:27, the family blood line, the sons of MGA are Khalifa, whereas Muhammad (Saw) was the son-in-law of Abu Bakr (ra). Umar (ra) was also a father-in-law of Muhammad (saw). Uthman (ra) was a son-in-law of Muhammad (Saw) and Ali [ra] was a cousin-brother of Muhammad (saw) and his son-in-law. He mentioned the bloodline of the prophets.
21:39, the Ahmadiyya Khalifa’s are elected, just like Russian elections. Asif calls it a coincidence.
23:04, what year was MGA born? Even the Lahori’s are ok with 1835. It wasn’t recorded.
25:02, MGA said he was born in the latter days of Ranjit Singh? Kitab ul Barriya.. Then, during the latter part of Ranjit Singh’s rule, my father Mirza Ghulam Murtada returned to Qadian and five of the villages, which had belonged to his father, were restored to him. and I was born around 1839 or 1840, during the latter part of the Sikh rule. In 1857, I was 16 or 17 years of age and had not reached manhood. My father had been beset by great difficulties before my birth and at one time he even had to travel through Hindustan on foot. But with my birth he began to experience a change for the better in his circumstances. It was by the sheer mercy of God Almighty that I did not partake of any of the misfortunes of my father.
26:23, Declan doesn’t know, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s took the info on MGA’s birth year from the Qadiani’s, how ironic is that?
27:18, Mahdi vs. Messah? Unified.
28:00, MGA is the messiah for Christians? 300 years? Pope?
30:15, it’s been 100+ years of Ahmadiyya.
32:11, not a poor community, compared with other NGO’s, MTA is a multi million dollar venture? Who watched Satellite anyways? MTA seems to be expensive, paying the staff and Maulvi’s. Mosque’s and mission houses by Ahmadi’s, all lies!
34:00, Islam is not a terrorist religion. Masroor works hard. Asif has been seeing Masroor work since 2003.
35:00, Muslims will never accept MGA. Asif says Muslims will first reject the physical return of Eisa (as), then eventually join Ahmadiyya, MGA has said this too. Sir Syed?
35:41, Adnan Rashid, Asif Basit says that Ahl-e-Hadith elders of Adnan said that 1850-ish was the time of the descent of the Messiah, this is a lie, this is not accurate.
36:40, he mocks the descent of Eisa (as) on the minaret at Damascus. He says Muslims keep waiting for the Messiah. As says Muslims need to sort out their own problems. Sunni vs. Shia!
38:25, he says even Muhammad (saw) is scoffed at (naozobillah). 1. Ahmadis are defending Islam. 2. They are dispelling misconceptions about Muhammad (saw)(this is a lie). 3. The Message of MGA.
39:36, MGA was a schizo. Asif blames Muhammad (saw), he says that all prophets were called crazy, this is not true, Daud (as) was a king prophet, like many others. 51:52 is for Rasul’s only? But Muhammad (Saw) saw the Angel Gabriel and didn’t have episode’s of epilepsy or something related. This is so disrespecftul. Asif Basit called it Extra Sensory Perception (ESP)=revelations.
40:44, MGA had no resources? He worked as a clerk in the British courts for like 7 years. MGA sent letters to newspapers around the world advertising his Barahin and 10k rupee challenge. Why do Ahmadi’s keep arguing for the spread of ahmadiyya? Is it pride? MGA had the post office.
42:00, Lahori’s are more progressive and allow women. Sakina tun Nisa? First female Ahmadiyya teacher. But MGA’s daughters didn’t go to any school. Begum Shafi Ahmad? What did she do? The brits split the punjab. Khola Hubschin in Germany.
44:00, Jihad and non violence. The mindset.
47:00, Hamas is a terror org. Karim Khan!
49:07, young Ahmadi’s. He admits that there are some challenges.
52:14, Ahmadis that leave are destined to return. Like Boomerangs. Because once you believe that Eisa (as) is dead, you can never recover. Eisa (as) on the right hand of Allah?
53:46, you must follow an Imam. But in the Mughal Empire, it was Hanafi Fiqh which was followed.
54:18, he criticizes Muslims for saying SWT, and eloquently reciting the Quran. He then accuses Muslims of being violent persecutors and at the point of the sword.

It’s unclear what year, however, she was at Qadian and a teacher of girls (so pre-1947). The newly formed girls’ school was held just below Nusrat Jehan‘s house (also MGA’s house)(See page 111).

Intro
51:52 of the Quran is specific to the Rasul’s that were sent by Allah, this verse doesn’t include all prophets. The Ahmadiyya Movement disagrees, and alleges that Nabi=Rasul (see MGA in “Correction of An Error”, 1901).

In 1880-1882, MGA quoted 51:52 (see page 152) in the Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya V-3, MGA called this verse an example of “verses of the Holy Quran which comprise matters relating to the unseen”.

Intro
In 2024, he is serving as Director of Programming for MTA International & Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Archives. He is also the maternal cousin of Akber Chaudhary.

In this video, Asif Basit says that he has been in close proximity to Mirza Masroor Ahmad since 2004, most likely as a “Waqfe Zindagi”. Both of his parents were also “Waqfe Zindagi”,  a lifetime of waqf, spanning over more than half a century. His father was the famous Ahmadi Maulvi (Waqf-e-Zindagi), Maulvi Abdul Basit Shahid.

In a separate video, Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi Asif Basit (the cousin of Akber Chaudhary) claims that his father was sent to Zambia as “Waqf-e-Zindagi” (in this interview he called his father a missionary, 15:04 time stamp), this must have been in the late 1970’s. Asif Basit seems to be about 54 years old, so, he was born in roughly 1975. He had 5 siblings, he seems to have grown up in Zambia and lived there for many years.

Asif Basit relates a story from his early youth, his father (Maulvi Abdul Basit Shahid) was off in Africa working and he would be at home in Rabwah, with his mother and 5 siblings, in a small house (two rooms and a kitchen).

He has been working as the Director of MTA for over 10 years, we also remember him as working on the Piggot issue and purposely lying to Dr. Shweiso. In this video, he admits to not knowing Arabic well and says that recitation is not important, it’s all about understanding the meanings of the Quran. However, this contradicts Khurram Shah and his assertions. Khurram Shah had famously said that if a person can’t read the Quran properly, then they can’t understand the Quran.

In 2024, he started his own youtube channel, Saqrat vlogs.

Intro
In the first year of his Khilafat, at Jalsa Salana Rabwah 1965, Mirza Nasir Ahmad announced that he needed retired Ahmadi’s to sign up and go on preaching and educational tours around the world, this came to be known as “Waqfe Zindagi” (see page 368).

Some famous “Waqfe-Zindagi’s” are Chaudhary Hameedullah and Asif Basit.

In 2025, an Ahmadi named Abdul Shakoor explained how the Mirza family owned and operated cotton factories from Rabwah to Karachi and exported cotton as such.

In a recent interview while attending Jalsa-Germany-2025, a man named Abdul Shakoor told a story about cotton factories owned by Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad in the 1950’s-1960’s around Rabwah. Abdul Shakoor seems to be an asylum case and lives in an around the Frankfurt area in Germany and is affiliated with a local Qadiani-Ahmadi jamaat.

Abdul Shakoor says that many Ahmadi’s who were volunteering as “Waqf-e-Zindagi” were also working at one of the cotton factories. Abdul Shakoor’s father also worked at the cotton factory. Abdul Shakoor says that there was also a cotton factory owned by “Ghair-Ahmadi’s” (Non-Ahmadi’s), just a few miles away. Abdul Shakoor says that his father was doing marketing via meeting and trying to acquire Raw cotton from farmers. Abdul Shakoor says that Mirza Tahir Ahmad was the director of the factory, this is before he became Khalifa. Abdul Shakoor explains how cotton was sold from Karachi by Mirza Tahir Ahmad and his company. Abdul Shakoor explains how he also used to sleep in their companies back offices and Mirza Tahir Ahmad was around. Abdul Shakoor even worked as a personal assistant to Mirza Tahir Ahmad for his tours in Karachi. Whenever Mirza Tahir Ahmad would come to Karachi he would stay at the house of Mubarak Ahmad Khokar, who seems to have married a female descendant of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Abdul Shakoor explains that he worked as the driver of Mirza Tahir Ahmad and drove to and from their house many times. He talks about how Mirza Tahir Ahmad would eat things that were out of season or hard to find like the Sharifa fruit.

At 29:42, he says that Mirza Tahir Ahmad tried to get him hired at PIA, Mirza Tahir Ahmad must have known high level managers and directors. Mirza Tahir Ahmad knew a person named Naseem Shah (who has familial connections to the Mirza family) and he was supposed to take care of all the paperwork. Mirza Tahir Ahmad even personally helped Abdul Shakoor meet the hiring manager at PIA, Aftab. Abdul Shakoor explains how he was made Director of the entire cotton factory via Mirza Tahir Ahmad and Mubarak Khokar and Abdul Shakoor was trained to be in charge.

In the 1950’s, Dr. Abdus Salam worked on the theory of the Neutrino, a subatomic particle first proposed by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930. Salam seems to have added to it (more to come on this soon).

Intro
After fraudulently winning the Nobel prize in 1979 with other scientists, Zia-ul-Haq wooed Dr. Abdus Salam to come back to Pakistan and possibly help Pakistan fight off the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and to Dr. Salaam didn’t fly on commercial aircraft, instead, he flew on the Presidents aircraft (see pages 96-97, Singh). Salam arrived at the Karachi airport on 12-15-1979 (See Al-Nahl of 1997, page 112), only his Pakistani wife was with him, his British wife was not. On 12-16-79 he visited his sister in Multan. He then flew to Sargodha (in the afternoon)(which is barely 20 miles from Rabwah), he was received at the Pakistani Air Force base in Sarghoda, he was received by Mirza Tahir Ahmad and Mirza Khurshid Ahmad. They then drove to Rabwah under police escort. Dr. Salam attended the Ahmadiyya Jalsa in Rabwah in December of 1979 under govt. escort. On 12-18-1979, he flew from Rabwah to Islamabad via military helicopter. He was received by military and civilian government leaders and was allowed to spend the day and night at “Sindh house”. He met Zia ul Haq on that day also(See Al-Nahl of 1997, pages 112-113). Zia ul Haq then allowed Dr. Salam to read his prayers separately and called him a better Muslim than himself. On 12-19-1979, Sala visited PINSTECH, Major General Shafiq was also there. On 12-20-1979, Zia gave Salam the country’s highest civilian honor, Nishan-e-Imtiaz, some Ahmadi’s were also there and vouched for all of this info in the Al-Nahl. On 12-21-1979, Salam flew to Peshawar and was again met by all the top military and civilian leaders of that area. Lt. general Fazal Haq was also there. Again, they traveled via Military aircraft. In the afternoon, they flew to Lahore. Lt.General Sawar Khan hosted Salam and gave an amazing dinner at the Governor’s house, many Ahmadi’s were there also. On 12-23-1979, Salam gave a speech at the Punjab University of Lahore. A private dinner was arranged wherein mostly Ahmadi’s ate with Dr. Salam.

On 12-24-1979, Dr. Salam left via military helicopter for Jhang, many Ahmadi’s were with him. He slept in a government rest house. On 12-25-1979, Salam left Jhang for Sargodha, via military helicopter, he then drove to Rabwah to attend the Jalsa, which lasted until 12-27-1979. On 12-28-1979, Salam was driven by Ahmadi youth to Lahore. On 12-29-1979, Salam headed out for Karachi. On 12-30-1979, he visited Sindh University. Lt. General Abassi hosted dinner of Salam that night, he was the governor of Sindh at that time. On 1-2-1980, Salam returned to England. After that, he got a visa for India (which is really hard) and visited his old teacher in India. Then again in 1987, Zia invited Dr. Salam as an official guest of the Government of Pakistan. When Zia died in 1988, Dr. Salam rejoiced.
