Intro
Muhammad Siddiq Sekhwani was the father of the famous Sekhwani brothers, Jamal ud Din Sekhwani (see Dard, page 845) and Imam ud Din Sekhwani (see Dard, page 845) and Mian Khair-ud-Din (famous list of 313 companions in 1896, see Dard, page 845). They are all from Sekhwan, a village just 1/2 northwest of Qadian. They were ethnically Kashmiri and that’s why they have the fore-title Khwaja and the surtitle Wyne (“n” is silent) around their names, but they lived in Punjab, India (See also Where did Jesus die?). His sons seem to have converted in 1889, per Ahmadiyya records.
In 1897, the entire family was mentioned as “wool weavers” and as having donated 1 rupee each. Their names are listed as attendees at the public meeting to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee in Qadian, District Gurdaspur, with MGA. With contribution or without, the names of the absentees who contributed are listed. From June 20, 1897 to June 22, 1897 (see “A Gift for the Queen” aka “Tohfa-e-Qaisariyyah” see pages 59-69). Also in 1897, the entire family was mentioned as donor’s for the guest house and well at Qadian (see “Siraj-e-Munir”, pages 156-157).
In 1901, Muhammad Siddiq Sekhwani and his wife Sharf Bibi and are mentioned as donors for the proposed Minaret-ul-Masih (the minaret of the Messiah) in 1901 (See Dard, page 856). His daughter, Amir Bibi (more commonly known as Mai Kako) remained in household service of MGA and his family.
His famous grandson is Jalal ud Din Shams, who became a famous global Maulvi of the Ahmadiyya Movement. Brothers of Jala ud Din Shams are Dr. Salah ud Din Shams who was the first ever President of the Zion jamaat in the 1980’s. Another one is Munir ud Din Shams, he is currently working as a Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary in the UK and is a major editor of MGA’s books into English. He is also Additional Wakilut-Tasnif. Another is Falah ud Din Shams, who seems to live in the USA and has been the National Vice President of the entire USA-Jamaat, he was previously a President from their Chicago chapter. In 2024, he is listed as a “Director” for the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, USA, Inc.
Another Ahmadi-famous, grandson is Maulana Qamar-ud-Din. He was appointed the first president (Sadr) of Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya at its inception in 1938. Another is Rashid-ud-Din Qamar played vital role in establishing Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya in the UK and was its pioneering Qaid alongside serving in many other capacities in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat UK.
A man named Abdul Aziz is also from Sekhwan (see “Siraj-e-Munir”, pages 156-157) is listed, his mother is also listed. He seems to have known this family.
