He shows up again in the ROR of Dec-1945 as working out of Secunderabad (Deccan), and working around the Allahdin family (Saith Ali Muhammad, B.A.). The ROR of Aug-1946 reports that the 19th annual “Prophet Day” was held in Calcutta on July-14-1946. Maulvi Muhammad Saleem was there. The ROR of Oct-1946 gives a report about the tabligh activities of Qadiani’s in Calcutta. Maulvi Muhammad Saleem was mentioned. Signed off by Muhammad, Secretary, Tabligh Ahmadiyya Association, 1 Wellington Square, Calcutta. June-9-1946.
We are continuing to explore the connection between the Lahori-Ahmadi’s and the Nation of Islam. In this article, the Lahori-Ahmadi’s admit that their missionary helped W.D. Muhammad shut down the Nation of Islam (NOI) in the early 1980’s. However, Minister Farrakhan re-started the NOI and has had success. In the below, we have posted all the data that connects W.D. Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad with Maulana Muhammad Abdullah.
Late Abdul Mannan Omar (son of Maulana Noor ud Din) and his son Prof. Khalid Omar have been person guests of Imam Warith Deen Muhammad at his home and in Chicago and they stayed there. Imam WD Muhammad also use to visit them in their home in Delaware. Imam remembered many years later in California that Abdul Mannan Omar sahib asked him question in Lahore, “what can be done to propagate Islam in USA?”. According to Abdul Mannan Omar sahib, in USA he asked Imam WD Muhammad about his beliefs. And his answers were Lahore Ahmadiyya Jamaat beliefs i.e. HMGA was Mujaddid, Isa (AS) is dead, etc.

Intro
It’s unclear who is Maulvi Abdul Majid, Aka Chaudhry Abdul Majid, (B.A.). He was from the Indian state of Bhagalpur. He was fast friends with Maulvi Hassan Ali Bhagalpuri, who had travelled to Qadian in 1887-1888 and met MGA (see “The three Lectures of Alexander Webb”). MGA gave him some books to read, the “Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya” and “Shahna’-e-Haq”.
He appears in Ahmadiyya literature via the ROR of Aug-1935, Ahmadiyya sources reported that he was present at the 1934 Jalsa at Qadian, his name is written as Professor Abdul Majid of Bhagulpur state. He was also present at the 1935 Jalsa at Qadian (ROR of Jan-1936). In the ROR of Dec-1940, his name is listed as Chaudhry Abdul Majid, B.A., he wrote an essay on “Captives of War and Islam”. He also seems to have an essay in the ROR of Nov-1943.

Maulvi Hassan Ali Bhagalpuri thus saw the letters of Alexander Webb in that book and began correspondence with him. It seems that Alexander Webb wrote letters to many Muslims in British India in this era and Haji Abdullah Arab (see “Mujadid-e-Azim”, by Dr. Basharat Ahmad) even went to the Philippines to visit him (see “The three Lectures of Alexander Webb”). Per Maulvi Hassan Ali, Haji Abdullah Arab convinced Alexander Webb to quit his job as the “Consul General” in the Philipinnes and travel to India and then to the USA and start preaching Islam. He landed in British-India (Calcutta), India on Oct 2nd, 1892 (See Singleton) and met up with Moulvi Hasan Ali Sahib Bhagalpuri. Moulvi Hasan Ali accompanied Mr. Webb during his 3 Lectures in Madras, Hyderabad (Deccan) and Bombay. He then travelled North-west toward Agra, most likely via train, and made it to Lahore. He was in British-India from Oct 2nd to Dec-15th 1892. Nevertheless, in late 1892, Webb refused to meet MGA (see page 24, Singleton). He returned to the USA in 1893 and wrote his famous book, “Islam in America”. Moulvi Hasan Ali Sahib Bhagalpuri is listed in 1896 in the famous list (#91) of 313 Ahmadi’s (see Dard)(see Tareekh Ahmadiyyat Vol 1 Page 307).

I will lead two funerals in absentia after leading Prayers. First is of Asma Tahira who was wife of Respected Mirza Khalil Ahmad. She passed away in Canada on 23 December 2016 at the age of 79. Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return (2:157). She was born in Bhagalpur in June 1935. Respected Maulawi Abdul-Baqi was her father and Respected Safiyya Khatoon was her mother. Her father served the Community for many years and also was the president of the chapter. Hadrat Ali Ahmad was her grandfather. He had pledged allegiance to the Promised Messiah and was his Companion. Respected Amatun-Nur says that he was a 9th grader when he came to Qadian. Hadrat Khalifatul-Masih (May Allah be his Helper) recounted the description of her services to Ahmadiyyat. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024 https://youtu.be/U71Cgth4wN0?si=J3uSBvzrtNenYsnH
Intro Our brother, @Farid_0v has published the english translation of “Tahreek-e-Mirza” by Maulvi Sanaullah (1923). We will analyze the content shortly. The Ahmadi trolls on twitter will have an aneurysm over this. He wrote that MGA was born in 1845. He split up MGA’s life into 2 sections, Part-1 is pre-1891 and part-2 is post-1891. In the first part he explains how MGA had some basic writing ability and raised money for the Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya, however, he delivered a terrible book. In fact, scholars like Shaykh Hafidh Abdul Mannan Wazeerabadi, Maulana Abu Abdullah Ghulamullah Amritsari, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani rebuked Mawlana Abu Abdullah by name in his Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah. However, the list of those who had the same gut feeling
consisted of Maulana Ghulam Dastageer Kasuri, Maulana Muhammad Ludhianvi.
Sanaullah then mentions the prophecy of the Musleh Maud from Feb-20-1886. MGA’s daughter Ismat was allegedly born on April 15, 1886 in Ambala, however, this is a lie, MGA and his team purposely backdated this birth date. IMHO, she must have been born on March 22nd, 1886, which prompted MGA to publish another announcement. MGA berates two men from Qadian, Hafiz Sultani Kashmiri and Sabir Ali, in the presence of Mirza Nawab Baig, Miya Shamsuddin, and Mirza Ghulam Ali, MGA admits that these men are reporting that a child (Ismat) was born to MGA in late Feb-1886 or early March-1886. MGA seems to have covered it up with the announcement of March 22nd, 1886 and was now claiming that the son would be born in the 2nd pregnancy. In this announcement, MGA also set the 9 year limit. Sanaullah says that MGA was advised to stop sharing his revelations, since they failed via the Bashir prophecy. Sanuallah presents a quote from MGA, however, no reference is given. Sanaullah quoted Maulvi Saadullah Burhanwi who poked fun at MGA and said that Bashir-1 caused MGA to be buried alive.
Part-2 starts thereafter
Sanaullah explains how many scholars were distrustful of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani, considering the path he was taking up until he authored the book Barahin-e-Ahmadiyyah. Despite this distrust, the majority of the scholars amongst the Muslims continued to give him the benefit of the doubt. Sanaullah discusses MGA’s statements about the physical return of Eisa (as). Sanaullah explains how MGA quoted 61:09 and claimed that this verse predicted the second coming of Eisa (as). MGA claims that Eisa (as) will spread Islam throughout the world via a prophecy in 61:09. Sanaullah discusses the Muhammadi Begum prophecy briefly and the Athim prophecy. Sanaullah then brings up the Lekh Ram prophecy. Maulvi Sanaullah also wrote a book called, “Nikah-e-Mirza”. Maulvi Sanaullah also discusses his book, “Ilhamat-e-Mirza” and how he covered the murder of Lekh Ram therein. He also mentions Syed Nazeer Hussain of Delhi, Bashir Bhopali, Syed Muhammad Hussain Batalvi and Pir Mehr Ali Shah.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ The book
The Moslem Sunrise (Oct-1922) reports that Maulvi Muhammad Din is working as the manager of the Talim ul Islam High School at Qadian and has been scheduled to travel to America and work therein. They also allege that he has been living in Qadian for 20 years and is trusted by the Ahmadiyya Movement. Qazi Abdullah is named as the headmaster of the school and allegedly, the Punjab University has granted the title of “Maulvi Fazil” to 3 more people from his school. He totally disappeared thereafter.
Intro In the mid-1880’s, Maulvi Hassan Ali Bhagalpuri was a self proclaimed missionary of Islam and from Bhagalpur, Bihar, India, which is close to Bangladesh. He was born in 1852, not much is known of his early life. He travelled to Qadian in 1887-1888 and met MGA (see “The three Lectures of Alexander Webb”). MGA gave him some books to read, the “Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya” and “Shahna’-e-Haq”. He thus saw the letters of Alexander Webb in that book and began correspondence with him. It seems that Alexander Webb wrote letters to many Muslims in British India in this era and Haji Abdullah Arab (see “Mujadid-e-Azim”, by Dr. Basharat Ahmad) even went to the Philippines to visit him (see “The three Lectures of Alexander Webb”). Per Maulvi Hassan Ali, Haji Abdullah Arab convinced Alexander Webb to quit his job as the “Consul General” in the Philipinnes and travel to India and then to the USA and start preaching Islam. He landed in British-India (Calcutta), India on Oct 2nd, 1892 (See Singleton) and met up with Moulvi Hasan Ali Sahib Bhagalpuri. Moulvi Hasan Ali accompanied Mr. Webb during his 3 Lectures in Madras, Hyderabad (Deccan) and Bombay. He then travelled North-west toward Agra, most likely via train, and made it to Lahore. He was in British-India from Oct 2nd to Dec-15th 1892. Nevertheless, in late 1892, Webb refused to meet MGA (see page 24, Singleton). He returned to the USA in 1893 and wrote his famous book, “Islam in America”. Moulvi Hasan Ali Sahib Bhagalpuri is listed in 1896 in the famous list (#91) of 313 Ahmadi’s (see Dard)(see Tareekh Ahmadiyyat Vol 1 Page 307). However, he was dead by Feb-1896 (See Ashab e Sadik o Safaa – first edition published in 2007 – this is from the 2nd edition Printed in 2011 – by Zia ul Islam Press Rabwah – Page 146) and is buried in Shah Jungi Graveyard in Bhagalpur.
He wrote a book, “Taeed e Huq”, which was published by Saith Abdul Rehman of Madras, printed by Punjab press Sialkot under the auspice of Munshi Ghulam Qadir Fashee. Ahmadiyya sources claim that he met MGA again in 1894 and did bait (see Mujadid-e-Azim).
Intro Maulvi Muhammad Din was the second Qadiani-Ahmadi missionary sent to America. Ahmadiyya sources claim that he was a companion of MGA. The ROR of March-April-1916 alleges that he a Headmaster at the T.I High School in Qadian and that he has a B.A.
He relieved the famous Mufti Muhammad Sadiq in late March 1923. Maulvi Muhammad Din, BA, [former] Headmaster of T.I. High School, Qadian, and editor of The Review of Religions, the missionary designated for America, landed in Boston from England on 27 March [1923] and reached Chicago on 29 [March 1923]. He has taken up his work in earnest under the guidance of Mufti Muhammad Sadiq DD. May Allah help him long and make him a success (See Moslem Sunrise of April-July-1923).
By the later summer of 1924, he left America and never returned, on 9-24-1924 (See Dannin too), Maulvi Muhammad Din meets up with his Khalifa in London and even gives a speech that was written by someone else (See ROR of Nov-1924)(The Daily Telegraph of London of 04 Oct 1924, Sat ·Page 5).
He wrote many essay’s in the ROR (starting in 1911) and seems to be fluent in English, in fact, he was editor of the ROR from 1918-Jan-1923, when he went to the USA. The Ahmadiyya Movement claims that he has a B.A. degree. He stayed in America until 1925. An Ahmadi living in America by the name of Dr. Muhammad Yousaf took over until 1928 (See page 52). In 1928, Sufi Bengalee replaced him and stayed as the only Ahmadi missionary in the USA until 1948 (See (Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around The World – A Pictorical Presentation. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community; Khilafat Centenary Edition. 2008. ISBN 978-1882494514).
Dannin alleges (see page 280) that in 1919, The Ethiopian Temples of Islam was founded in St. Louis by Professor Paul Nathaniel Johnson. One summer evening (in 1922?) while walking in down town St. Louis, MO, Paul Nathaniel Johnson came upon a gentleman speaking on a soap box. It was common in those days for evangelist to stand upon a soap box and speak to the people as they moved through the streets. On this particular day, the person of note was a gentleman by the name of Dr. Mufti Muhammad Sadiq of Qadian, Punjab, India, the first Moslem Missionary to America, representing the Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad, head of the Ahmadia Movement in Islam, which was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
He appears in the Moslem Sunrise of July-1922 (see page 119), he was the first ever African-American to become an Ahmadi missionary (Sheikh)(however, and without going to Jamia). He appears again in the Moslem Sunrise of Apr. & July 1923 and his work in St. Louis is highlighted. In St. Louis, his best student was the famous Ex-Ahmadi Wali Akram (in Cleveland), who went on to create a legacy of Islam in Cleveland through over 100 grandchildren (See Dannin).
His sales pitch to the Negro in America:
“””As Salaam Alaikum! Peace Be Unto You, Brothers and Sisters! Bisimillah ar Rahman ar Rahim! Blessed Be Our Lord, Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful! Listen here! There is no such thing as a Negro race. Black people live all over the world but they are not branded as Negroes. Get back your religion and your original names. Your natural language is Arabic! Get back your religion, the religion of Islam, and stop being a Negro! Allah-uAkbar! God is Great! Prayers are organized like clockwork in Islam. Five per day. Every day. Would you like to see? Follow me back to the prayer hall!””” (See Dannin, page 96).
The Moslem Sunrise of Oct-1923 alleges that Brother Shaikh Ahmad Din is working out of 22 N. Compton Ave, St. Louis, MO. His missionary center seems to be at 2658 Olive St. The Moslem Sunrise of Jan-1924 alleges he is a missionary and working out of St. Louis. He has a poem and an essay in this edition too. He is also mentioned on page 33 and is alleged to have converted 25-30 people to Qadianism in this recent cycle. The Moslem Sunrise of Apr-1924 alleges that Ahmad Din is working out of St. Louis at 2658 Olive St. St. Louis, MO, they even has a photo of him therein. He also wrote an essay arguing pro-polygamy. He is mentioned in the ROR of May-1925 and incorrectly written that this is J.L. Mott. Nevertheless, he is working out of St. Louis and reporting converts. The ROR of Jan-1926 has a letter by him about his work in St. Louis. The 2nd Khalifa’s response is also given, the letter is dated Oct-10-1925 and the 2nd Khalifa says that he hasn’t heard from Ahmadi’s in the USA for quite a while. Interestingly, Dannin tells us that Sheikh Ahmad Din converted Wali Akram to Ahmadiyya in 1925 in St. Louis.
