Intro
Not much is known about the Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi M. M. Siddique (he was from Amritsar, see ROR of Oct-1946). He shows up in Fisher’s book in 1963, Fisher claims that he became Sierra Leone’s Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary-in-charge in 1944 (See Fisher, page 124). He replaced M. Nazir Ahmad (Maulvi Nazir Ahmad Ali).

In what seems to be July of 1946, in London, 14 Qadiani-Ahmadi Maulvi’s took a picture together (see Rashid Ahmad’s, “Perseverance”, page 44). The Al-Hakam alleges that 9 of them were sent from Qadian.

Intro
Maulvi Hafiz Ghulam Muhammad, B.A. was a long time pupil of Maulvi Noorudin (See the ROR of Feb-1915). Ahmadiyya sources allege that he is Hafiz of the Quran and a scholar of Arabic and Hebrew (just like Mufti Muhammad Sadiq). He doesn’t seem to exist anywhere in Ahmadiyya literature until the ROR mentioned his departure towards Mauritius and via Ceylon in the ROR of Feb-1915. He was the pioneer Ahmadiyya missionary to Mauritius.

As soon as he arrived, he began stirring controversy, he began praying in the Soonee Mosque (Masjid Rose Hill) separately and thus caused a huge disturbance. He did this per the order of the 2nd Khalifa, who told Ahmadi’s to never pray behind Muslim imams. By 1921, there was a court case and it was decided against the Ahmadi’s of Mauritius. 99% of Muslims in Mauritius were from India and Hanafi-type of Muslims and were shocked by all of this.

However, the Ahmadiyya Movement seems to have been compensated with land and free construction, thus, the famous Ahmadiyya temple, Dar-us-Salam Mosque, which would serve as the missionary quarters and headquarters of the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s in Rose Hill, Mauritius. After 1926, Maulvi Hafiz Ghulam Muhammad, B.A. totally disappeared from the history of Ahmadiyya, his children are unknown also.

Intro
Most African-born-Ahmadi’s have no idea of Ahmadiyya beliefs. In fact, one of the pioneers of West African Islam (Agusto) quit Ahmadiyya in 1924 after he learned from Lahori-Ahmadi’s how the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s see MGA as a prophet, not a Mahdi. Fisher told us the same in 1963. Recently, in 2018, Haron told us the same, this was quoted by Rana Tanveer via his recent write-up on Ahmadiyya and secularism. Tanveer says:

“”Muhammad Haron’s (2018) point of view seems to have some weight who claims that most of the African Ahmadi converts were Muslims who were not so much concerned with the internal theological disagreements and were more worried about the colonial rulers’ oppressive system and the trained Christian missionaries. Ahmadis came into Africa at an opportune period and their preachers “rescued” them from Africa’s expansive Christian campaigners.””

Paul Freston (2010) rightfully pointed out “experience of discrimination” as a hurdle for immigrant missionaries and said that “willingness to Europeanize or Americanize oneself” can discourage that experience. Most of the Ahmadi missionaries and Jamaat high-ups are from Pakistan, and their style is very Pakistani and are religiously unwilling to Americanize or Europeanize. For example, in the case of Canada religiously Ahmadis are not allowed to eat Tim Horton’s products. Though they accept this culture and do not openly criticize it but it is entirely different from adopting it, let alone assimilation or integration. Next-generation of missionaries might overcome the language barrier, as religiously they have Urdu medium at their seminaries, but there are fewer chances of their fully adopting Western culture. The need to have the ability to unlearn for an effective cross-cultural mission cannot be ignored.

Intro
The ROR of Nov-1916 reproduces a letter from Agusto, he gives a list of 21 Ahmadi’s, including Qasim R. Ajose. Ajose is directly mentioned in the Moslem Sunrise of April-1922 (see pages 93-94) as someone who was left in-charge when the Ahmadi Maulvi Nayyar left for Ghana in late 1921.

By 1927, Qasim R. Ajose was the missionary-in-charge and school supervisor, Ahmadiyya Movement, Lagos, British West Africa 1925–1935 (modern day Nigeria)(see his photo in the below and how it appeared in the ROR of Jan-1927). He seems to have met Maulvi Abdur Rahim Nayyar in 1922. Nayyar did not make inroads within the other factions with the exception of the Quranic group, primarily based in Okepopo and Aroloya. After an agreement to merge with Ahmadiyya, Imam Dabiri of the Quranic group was selected as Chief Imam. Dabiri was succeeded in the 1930s by Imam Ajose. Imam Dabiri would lead the prayers for the newly converted West Africans, who prayed via Maliki fiqh, Nayyar doesn’t seem to have ever led the prayer (see Fisher). Nayyar gave speeches in english which were translated by Ajose and others (see Fisher). Nayyar left by late 1922, and Ahmadiyya sources claim Nayyar left a local Nigerian in-charge, a man named Imam Dabiri. He was succeeded by Imam Qasim R. Ajose, missionary-in-charge and school supervisor, Ahmadiyya Movement, Lagos (see ROR, Jan-1927). In 1932, during controversy wherein many sects of Ahmadiyya were being created, Ajose was appointed the imam (see Fisher, page 106).

After 1935, he created a splinter sect of Ahmadi’s who were disloyal to the Khalifa (see Fisher also, page 109). West African Ahmadi’s had issues with the Indian-Ahmadi-imam’s and always wanted Imam Qasim R. Ajose to lead the prayer (see Fisher). Ajose had apparently replaced Imam Dabiri, who was the West-African face of Ahmadiyya in Nigeria uptil the early 1930’s. Fisher wrote his name as K.R. Ajose.

Intro
Maulvi F. R. Hakeem (written as Hakim Fadl-ur-Rahman by Fisher, see page 108) first shows up in Ahmadiyya history as a missionary sent to West Africa (Nigeria)(Gold Coast) in 1922, in fact, Nayyar had asked for assistance from Qadian. Before Maulvi F. R. Hakeem, it was Nayyar who made in-roads in West Africa on behalf of the Qadiani-Ahmadi’s. In the ROR of Nov-1933, Maulvi F. R. Hakeem claims that he left Qadian on January 23rd, 1922 and arrived in Lagos, Nigeria in April of 1922. He returned to Qadian on Jan-27-1930. He is also mentioned in the ROR of Dec-1989, however, there seem to be many errors about his life therein.

By 1923, Al Hajj Fadl-ul-Rahman Hakim was mostly working out of Ghana as the first permanent missionary to Ghana. In 1923, Hakim started an elementary school in Saltpond. Further primary schools were opened in a number of other towns and villages, such as in Mumford and Potsin, all in the coastal regions. He stayed until 1929, at which point he was called back to Qadian.

His second tour happened in 1929-1931-ish (see Fisher), he returned to Ghana in 1933 (See ROR of Nov-1933). On his second tour, he first travelled from India to London with another Ahmadi imam (dard), they were on the SS Narkunda. They arrived in London on Feb-18, 1933.

He seems to have been relieved by another Ahmadi Mullah, Maulana Nazir Ahmad Ali, technically, he spent only the year of 1936 in Ghana and moved over to Sierra Leone, wherein he was the first ever permanent Ahmadi mullah on the scene (See Fisher). Fadl-ul-Rahman worked as the missionary in-charge of Ghana from 1935 to 1947.

He was there when the controversy with Imam Ajose happened (early 1930’s) and a split ensued and also when Jibril Martin seceded with his own group (early to mid 1930’s) of Ahmadi’s who were disloyal to the Khalifa, the matter even went to court and was decided on (see Fisher).

A man named Maulvi Muhammad Afzal Qureshi came to work in British-West-Africa (aka Nigeria) with Maulvi F.R. Hakeem left in 1946 (see Fisher). He was made a resident Missionary based in the North between 1946 and 1951 and he shuttled between Zaria and Kano during the period. He was the only white man riding on a bicycle with a galloping turban which always attracted the admiration of children who usually followed him for a long distance while he was on his way to the preaching venue. Another Ahmadi missionary showed up, Naseem Saifi, he would end up being in-charge until the 1970‘s.

He goes totally missing in the history of Ahmadiyya after 1949-1951. Fisher reports that he died in Lahore on 28 August, 1955 (see Fisher page 108).

Watch Dr. Syed Holy Spirit’s video on this topic. He was a puppet of the Khalifa, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud and the 3rd and 4th Khalifa. He did whatever the Khalifa’s wanted done. You can listen to Zia Rasul’s video on Aqa Ka Ghulam.

He was born in 1893, to a family of Sahi Jats of Daska, in the Sialkot district of Pakistan (See page-1 and 15)(his father and grandfather were members of the Ahl-e-Hadith, see ROR July-1942). You can read about his family in detail in the first few pages of “Meri Waalidah” (My Mother)(1938 and 1981). His family converted to Ahmadiyya in 1904, while MGA and his team were in Sialkot (See ROR of July-1942).

It should be noted that Zafrullah Khan never spoke of his first 2 wives, who were sisters and his cousins (Iqbal Begum and Rashida Begum)(not sure what side of the family). Both of these weddings seem to have happened between 1915-1920. Zafarullah Khan held the office of Ameer (president) of the Lahore, Pakistan chapter of the Ahmadiyya Community from 1919 to 1935. The Jan-Feb-1919 edition of the ROR reports that Zafrullah Khan presided over many sessions at the Islamia College as the 2nd Khalifa allegedly gave speeches.

In 1924, he famous read out the Khalifa’s speech in London and took the Khalifa to an opera house (in France) wherein women were nude and dancing (listen to Abdul Rahman Bawa sahib explaining this scenario). The Khalifa had claimed to be William the Conqueror before travelling to be London, this was simply one of the many ilham’s of the 2nd Khalifa. He also built a huge mansion at Qadian, you can see it here.

The date of this 3rd marriage seems to be after his father died (late 1926-early 1927). He married Badar Begum, daughter of his classmate in college, Shamshad Ali Khan (of Bihar)(see “Meri Waalidah” (My Mother). She was thus, barely 13-15 years old and Zafrullah Khan was 30, they even claim that there was a dream wherein Zafrullah Khan was fondling his baby. By 1935, she was fed up with Zafrullah Khan and even had constant consternation with Zafrullah Khan’s mother. Her mother-in-law was dead by 1938. Per Zafrullah Khan, on January 12th, 1937, Amtul Haye was born (see page 125 and 127)(Zaf Khan’s mother had died after this pregnancy). Amtul Haye goes missing thereafter and doesn’t show up again until 1982 (see page 169). In 1948, Zafrullah Khan was still married to Badar Begum, however, after partition, Badar Begum seems to have filed for divorce and then married the famous Shahnawaz (see also “Zafar Ullah Khan Qadyani” by Muhammad Tahir Abdul Razzaq). In 1955-56, Zafrullah Khan married a teenage palestinian refugee (Bushra Rabbani), who was already married, had hella sex with her, then let her go).

Dr. Syed Holy Spirit claims that the grandson of Zafrullah Khan was famously married to the daughter of Mirza Tahir Ahmad which ended in a quick divorce.

In 1982, Zafrullah Khan was enduring his final illness and moved back to Lahore, Pakistan and Ahmadiyya sources claim that he was living with daughter and her family. It is unclear where his ex-wife was (Badar Begum, his 3rd wife). His final marriage was in 1955, a short lived and haraam marriage, with a Lebanese girl named Bushra Rabbani, who was living in Syria at the time. Zafrullah Khan stopped in during his trip to London (we don’t know if it was coming or going)(see “Ahmadiyya Movement: British-Jewish Connections” by Bashir Ahmad [1995], pages 325-326). Thus, at the age of 63-ish, he was single and alone. He lived an additional 30 years like this and mostly in New York and different places in New York, he travelled extensively too.

He died in 1985 and was buried in Rabwah, Pakistan in Bahishti Maqbara, it is said that he gave all of his money to the Ahmadiyya Movement.

We were able to interview one of the pioneers of the #exahmadimovement, our big brother Akber Chaudhary. He needs no introduction, he recently gave his life story. He was also on the Waqar Zaka show when they exposed the Khalifa. Akber Choudhry and Waqar Zaka discussed the Ahmadiyya Movement INC and money laundering. Our brother Akber Choudhry had written a new essay on the Ahmadiyya non-profit global business model. Also check out Akber’s previous amazing work on Ahmadiyya and how they stored money illegally overseas. Akber and AK Shaikh have made videos about all of this too. They proved that Mirza Masroor Ahmad owned companies that held money tax-free in Panama.

Nevertheless, we asked him 30+ questions, they are listed in the below.

Some unfortunate news from Ahmadiyya sources today is the murder of Syed Talay, he seems to have been working with MTA-Ghana just a few days ago and was murdered in a robbery. Ahmadiyya sources claim that he was travelling from Tamale to Accra. He worked extensively with MTA, in fact, he worked on the Khalifa’s famous weekly program, “This week with Huzor”, and many other close interactions with the Khalifa, see his interview herein. I have archived a 15-second clip on Tik Tok also. His name is also spelled Syed Tallay Ahmad and Syed Taalay Ahmad. He had been working for MTA for at least 5 years.

He seems to have been a Waqfe-Zindagi (Sacrificed for Life) type of Ahmadi. Most of the family of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad take this title also and thus get into positions of power like MTA and etc. He was the son-in-law of Mirza Ghulam Qadir Shaheed (killed in 1999 in Rabwah). His widow’s name is Satwat Mirza. He was also the great-grandson of Dr. Syed Muhammad Ismail and Mirza Bashir Ahmad. Watch Ak Shaikh’s video on this herein. Ak Shaikh explains how Rabwah Times had made a video explaining how Syed Tallay was killed, however, it was removed after just a few hours (12:03 time stamp).
