The Sunni-version of Islam is as follows, Hadith+Sunnah+the Quran=Islam. It is common sense that the Quran without the hadith/sunnah is incomplete. The Quranist has faded away into the annals of islamic thought by 1800. However, Sir Syed revived this theory of Islam in the 1870’s. Some of his admirers were Noorudin, Abdul Kareem, MGA and Mufti Sadiq. Sir Syed had even wrote that Esa (as) was never returning (1882) and he denied all concepts of the Mahdi.

On a recent live stream, Shams ud Din interviewed an ex-Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi in Pakistan named Mujahid Hussain. Mujahid Hussain even served time in a Pakistani prison for his work with the Ahmadiyya Movement, in fact, it was in prison wherein he learned about he falsity of Ahmadiyya. He was married with kids at the time too, when he got out of prison, he left his wife and kids and Ahmadiyya and started a new life as a Muslim.

As soon as MGA died (May of 1908), the Ahmadiyya editing team began changing his year of birth. In the Review of religions for June 1908 (english)(see pages 235-238), they began trying to backdate MGA’s year of birth, since they knew that MGA died abruptly and failed his famous prophecy that he would live 40 additional years after 1891-1892, just like it was prophecied in the hadith in terms of the Messiah, (see Nishan asmani {1892}, page 14–17). Furthermore, Ahmadiyya editors purposely edited (and added to) Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya Vol-5 as they were desperately trying to make MGA look older so as to fulfill the “age-prophecy”, they then published it in October of 1908. BA5 was never written by MGA, it was his editors who inserted the information in BA5 trying to show that MGA was 70 by 1905 (in fact, Dard, in his famous biography of MGA writes that the BA5 was written in 1905, which is a lie). Furthermore, they also inserted the part wherein MGA claims “5 years more or less of 80″. Thus, they created a window of age from 74 to 85. The Khalifa wrote exactly this in 1916 in his short autobiography on his father’s life. The Moslem Sunrise used 1837 and later 1836 and finally 1835 after 1946. Nuzul ul Masih was published in 1909, and the lies continued. After the split of 1914, Muhammad Ali wrote a book (1918) about MGA and continued to write that MGA was born in either 1839 or 1840. Check out Bro Imtiaz’s video on this topic herein.

Technically, the history of the Ahmadiyya Movement started in 1903, the Detroit English News of June 27, 1903 reported on MGA and his death threat to Alexander Dowie.
In 1920, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq arrived in America and immediately heard about Shia-Muslims from Syria in Detroit and how they had NO imam or NO organization. These were mostly workers at Ford’s Factory in Highland Park. By June-1920, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was invited to Detroit (Al Bayan, 26 June 1920, p. 3, 26 Court St, Brooklyn, NY) to meet the Shia-Muslims therein and devise a plan.
By 1921, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was ran out of Detroit by Shia and Sunni Muslims. He ran to Chicago and had enough money to buy a residence which he converted into a makeshift temple.
In roughly 1922, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was back in Detroit and delivered five lectures in Detroit at the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) meetings; out of the 40 converts, one of them, Mufti Sahib said, was an enthusiastic young man with the name Rev. B.D. Sutton. Rev. BD Sutton converted to Qadianism and became an enthusiastic Ahmadiyya preacher, with the new name of Sheikh Abdus Salam, he was one of at least 40 pan-Africanist Garveyites that joined the movement following Sadiq’s five lectures to the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Detroit. After his conversion, Mufti Muhammad Sadiq made him a “sheikh”, as he continued to give out this title. Reverend BD Sutton took the Muslim name, Sheikh Abdus Salam and was appointed the leader of that congregation (The Moslem Sunrise, Issue I, 1923, p. 167), in the same edition Mufti Muhammad Sadiq cites Sheikh Abdus Salam and Sheikh Ahmad Din (both African American’s and both given financial deals) as prolific prostelytizers (The Moslem Sunrise, Issue 2-3, 1923, p. 190). Sheikh Salam went on to become one of the principal preachers in Detroit. He was described as “busy bringing others to the fold of Islam”. (The Moslem Sunrise, Issue 2-3, 1923, p. 190). Sheikh Abdus Salam aka Rev. B.D. Sutton totally disappeared soon thereafter.
1924–1929 was a dead era for Qadianism in Detroit. However, in 1930, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali began alleging that there were some Ahmadi’s in Detroit.
In the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1931/Jan-1932, Sufi Muti-ur-Rahman Bengali alleges that there is a Qadiani-Ahmadi mission house at 537 Hendrie St. Detroit, this was written in every single edition until the Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1935, roughly 3 years. By 2010, it seems that the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s in the Detroit area moved into 1730 W. Auburn Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48309 and built their temple.
From 1932 to 1956, Ahmadiyya seems to have been totally dead in Detroit.
Syed Jawad Ali worked as an Ahmadiyya secretary in the USA (1954-1960; 1963-1971). It is alleged that he founded the Detroit mission in 1956.
In 1978, the Ahmadiyya either began renting or bought a residence at Wyoming Avenue (See the Ahmadiyya Gazette of Sep-1983)(in 2024, it’s an open lot with no building). At the 1982 Jalsa Salana at Rabwah, Mirza Tahir Ahmad (the 4th Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa) announced that 5 New Mosques in the US (New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, and Detroit) were in the works (See the Ahmadiyya Gazette of March-2006). In March 2002, the Ahmadiyya Movement had to sell the land because of the state’s plan to build a freeway ramp on that site (See the Ahmadiyya Gazette of March-2006). In September 2002, we purchased a new parcel of land. On June 25, 2005, Mirza Masroor Ahmad graciously prayed on the Foundation Stone for the new site. On December 17, 2005, Mohtaram Ameer Sahib USA laid the Foundation Stone at the new site. Thus, construction of this mosque (the first Ahmadiyya Muslim ‘Community Center’ in the US) finally got underway. To complete this construction in a timely manner, we need to urgently raise the requisite funds. While we are leaving no stone unturned locally, Mohtaram Ameer Sahib has kindly allowed us to raise $250,000 nationally.
In 1983, there was arson at the Ahmadiyya temple located at 8218 Wyoming Avenue (in 2024, it’s an open lot with no building). This is terms of the murder of Dr. Muzaffar Ahmad. It seems that this location was sold and the new location of 1730 W. Auburn Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48309 became the Ahmadiyya temple.

The father of Nuruddin Aneesa and Qudsia Hayes made the 1st converts to what is now the Zion Jamaat. Those converts were, Fazli Omar, Al-Haj Ahmad Khalid, Muhammad Sadiq and another brother who now live in AZ (See Qudsia Hayes’ facebook account).
The first National ljtema of Lajna lmaillah USA was held in 1989 in Zion, Illinois.

Mubaraka Malik was an Ahmadi and one of the founding members of the Milwaukee Jamaat. She was a community activist as well as a notable in the Republican Party. This particular photo was secured from President G.R. Ford’s Presidential Library by Maulvi Yahya Luqman. It is or should be common knowledge that Mubaraka Malik presented a deviant Holy Qur’an to the then President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford in 1974 (See also, 50th souvenir Jalsa USA). This was a 1st in the history of Jamaat Ahmadiyya USA.
Abdul Malik came to know about Islam/Ahmadiyyat in 1946. For two years he would drive from Milwaukee, through “Jim Crow” cities/counties, to Ahmadiyya HQ in Chicago. At the Ahmadiyya HQ in Chicago he received lessons and orientation into Qadianism from the then Chief Missionary, Khalil Ahmad Nasir (this might not be true, it might have been someone else). He was not allowed to sign biat until he completed reading and receive testing on certain books. After two years he signed bait and was given permission to start a mission in Milwaukee. There is an interesting tid-bit about Abdul Malik. For three years he was tutored by Chaudhry Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan. When Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan was Pakistan’s Ambassador in the UN, Abdul Malik was his driver. There are other tid-bits about him that we are just uncovering. Once I interview the person concerned I can report those findings. At this point, it can be said that Abdul Malik impacted a lot of people, on all levels, and in profound ways. All as a result of his acceptance of Islam/Ahmadiyyat and the resulting influences of Allah, Khalil Ahmad Nasir and Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan.
Sister Mubarika Malik was GOP 5th District Republican Congressional candidate. She met with President Ford to discuss national problems.
Intro
In a recent stream, Bro Imtiaz explained how MGA connected his birth to the year 6000 (at the (See 2:15:00 to 2:51:00 time stamp). Tohfah Golarhviyyah, pp. 93–95, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 17, pp. 251–252, see Also, the 2009 online english edition of Tadhkirah). Bro Imtiaz highlighted how MGA argued that the current life cycle started with the current Adam (as), and 4739 lunar years later, Muhammad (saw) completed his mission (mazala). Thus, year 4739=632 C.E.= 11 (hijri) and thus, 6000=1882 C.E.=1300 A.H. Moreover, Imtiaz proved that 4728= 1 Hijri. Thus, MGA was born 6000-11=5989. 5989-4728=1261 (hijri), and this is the year that MGA was born, which is 1845. Bro Imtiaz also showed a reference from the Tashhiz al-Adhan of 1908 wherein the Ahmadi writers/editors admitted that the 6000th year was 1270 in MGA’s theory. Bro Imtiaz than showed a reference from the Urdu Review of Religions of 1922 which stated that 1260 (1844) Hijri is the year of MGA’s birth.
Allegedly, in 1903, MGA quoted 22:47 (22:48 in the Qadiani Quran)(See page 46-47) and argued that this verse proved his theory that the world would last 7000 years (see page 41 of Lecture Lahore). MGA also argued that this wasn’t the only “Adamic-cycle” and there were many more to come.
In 1915, MGA made the argument that this cycle of existence was in fact 6000 years, however, this wasn’t the only cycle, and there were most likely many more to come (See “Minan ur Rahman”, page 12 {1915}).
In the Nation of Islam, they believe that their God permitted the white race to rule the Earth for 6000 years, a period that is almost at an end (See Gardell 1996, pp. 59, 148; Tinaz 1996, p. 197; Acevado, Ordner & Thompson 2010, p. 139). They got this belief from Ahmadi’s in America like Mufti Muhammad Sadiq, Maulvi Muhammad Din and Maulvi Muhammad Yusuf Khan.

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.
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.
He died in 2009 and was eulogized by Mirza Masroor Ahmad.
