Page 160 v Foreword Mr. Bashir Ahmad Khan Rafiq deserve our sincere thanks for presenting in a book-form on account of the lives and achievements of four most distinguished Ahmadis from Mghanistan who made the supreme sacrifice of laying down their lives for the sake of Allah. Their martyrdom is a lasting monumant in the struggle for truth and righteousness. The nobility of their character and the steadfastness demonstrated by these martyrs is an inspiring example of the spiritual and moral revolution generated by the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam. The auther of " The Afghan Martyrs" is a senior member of Ahmadiyya Jamaat who has devoted his life to the servi~e of Islam. After a long and successful tenure at the Ahmadiyya headquarters in Rabwah, he distinguished himself as Imam of the London Mosque in the sixties and seventies. He has the ability to express his views and ideas simply and effectively. He has regularly written articles for English and Urdu journals and published a number of books including "Truth about Ahmadiyyaf' which is an essential reading for understanding the attitude of Ahmadiyya Jamaat towards important issues raised by its critics. Brief accounts of lives and achievemants of Hadhrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif and Hadhrat Mulla Neymatulla have been available but little is known about Hadhrat Moulvi Abdul Haleem and Hadhrat Qari Noor Ali. By compiling authentic information about them, Mr. Bashir Ahmad Khan Rafiq has satisfied a long standing need. This account assumes relevance and poignancy in Vll view of the tempestuous history of Afghanistan since the martyrdom of Hadhrat Sahibzada Abdul Latif in 1903 and the political storms which continued to rage in that country. I hope this book will be read by all those who value freedom to profess and practice one's faith. May Allah bless and reward the author for his noble effort. Amen. London, Aftab Ahmad Khan 23 May, 1995. National Amir, Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, United Kingdom. viii PREFACE On the 14th of July 1903 the soil of Kabul was stained red with the blood of Hadhrat Sahibzada Syed Abdul Lateef, may Allah be pleased with him. Referring to the martyrdom of the Sahibzada exactly 86 years later the present Supreme Head of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat, Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, may Allah support him, delivered a sermon in the 'Bait ul Huda' mosque in Sydney, Australia. Because of the relevance of the sermon with the Eid of sacrifices, it is reproduced in the following pages and it forms an essential and integral part of this book. Whilst I was engaged in writing this book I made a humble submission to Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV and requested him to write a few lines pertaining to the book. In answer he said, liMy sermon should suffice". Hence at the beginning of the book the sermon is being reproduced. My book 'Shaheedan-e-Rah-e-Wafa' written in Urdu has, by the grace of Allah, found wide acceptance. Through a number of letters and verbal messages, very many have conveyed to me their wholehearted approval. Alhamdolillah. Innumerable friends have expressed a desire to see an English translation of the book so that those living in Europe, America, Canada and other English speaking countries, the younger generation and new converts to Islam may become aware of the tremendous sacrifices made by the 'Martyrs of Kabu}t. IX Last year I asked my dear and revered brother Anwer Ahmad Kahlon to translate the book into English. He readily and happily accepted the assignment. He said that he would gladly undertake the task so that when the readers supplicate in favour of the 'Martyrs' and the author, he too may benefit their prayers. In relatively short time Mr Kahlon completed the task. Mter word processing he sent me a disk of the English version. May Allah reward him abundantly. All those to whom I have shown the English translation, before publication, like it and approved of it. Alhamdolillah. Apart from proof reading, my two sons Muneer Ahmad Rafiq and Mahmood Ahmad Rafiq and my daughter Bushra Naheed Mirza tendered valuable suggestions. Thus they made my task simpler. May Allah reward them all. Revered Munir ud Din Shams the Additional Vakeel ul Ishaat also deserves my gratitude. He encouraged me throughout and then assisted me in the despatch of the books. I request the readers for prayers that this humble effort may find acceptance with the Almighty. May He create sentiments of love and prompt readers to pray for the 'Martyrs of Kabul'. B. A. RAFIQ x In the name ofAllah, the Gracious, the Merciful. Eid-ul-Adhia Sermon delivered by HadhratMirza Tahir Ahmad Khalifa ttll Maseeh IV, My Allah support him, on 14 Wafa 1368 h - 14th July 1989 A.D. at Bait-ul-Huda, Sydney, Australia. After Tashahud and Taooz and recitation of Sura Fatiha he proceeded: A DAY OF EXTRAORDINARY HISTORIC IMPORTANCE. Today it is the 14th of July and it is a Friday. It is also Eid ul Adhia and hence two Eids have been combined. Apart from that, in the history of Ahmadiyyat the 14th July has a special significance. This day is associated with the Eid known as 'Eid­ ul- Adhia' which means an Eid of Sacrifices. In our country, particularly in the Punjab, as we either sacrifice goats or cows, some call it 'Bakar Eid' and some call it 'Bakrah Eid'. Some call it the 'big Eid', while the 'Eid-ul-Fitr' that follows the month of Ramazan is known as the 'small Eid'. Today we are celebrating the big Eid which is also known as the Eid of Sacrifices. What relationship has the date 14th July with this Eid? That is what I wish to explain to you today. The Promised Messiah, (PBUH) received a revelation, "Two goats will be slaughtered" (Tadhkira Published by Saffron Books in 1976 Page 57). This revelation was received approximately three years before the 14th of July 1903 and was published in the Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya. 1 The Promised Messiah (PBUH) interpreted it to mean that two outstandingly dedicated members of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat would be sacrificed in the same way as goats are sacrificed and those two would have been endowed with certain attributes for which goats and sacrifices are well known.

Opinion differs widely upon many of the issues raised, and upon the best way of dealing with them. But there will be no unwillingness in any quarter to admit that in the months to come the future of India will present to the people of this country the most difficult task in practical statesmanship with which thet 1hive ever been confronted. If the decision is to be a wise one it must rest upon a sound conception of the problem itself, and in that problem the place that is to be taken in the new India by the Indian States is an essential factor. Should they join the rest of India in a Federation ? Would they bring strength to a Federal Government, or weakness? Are their interests compatible with adhesion to an All-India v Vl INTRODUCTION Federation? What should be the range of the Federal Government's jurisdiction over them? These are some of the questions upon which keen debate will shortly arise.

  • The Martyrdom of Sahibzada Abdul Latif Shaheed
    The Martyrdom of Sahibzada Abdul Latif Shaheed by Professor Khalil-ur-Rahman Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at Islam Lahore Inc., U.S.A. www.alahmadiyya.org THE MARTYRDOM OF SAHIBZADA ABDUL LATIF SHAHEED by Professor Khalil-or-Rahman, M.Sc. Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at Islam Lahore Inc., U.S.A. 1994 www.alahmadiyya.org In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Preface This booklet briefly narrates the biography of the martyr Sahibzada Hazrat Abdul Latif, the most eminent of the Ulamaof Afghanistan, who was stoned to death in July 1903 by order of the Afghanistan authorities for the "crime" of belonging to the Ahmadiyya Movement. The events related here were compiled by Professor Khalil-ur-Rahman in an Urdu booklet from contem­ porary documents and narrations by our esteemed brother Sahibzada Haroon Ahmad and other members of the family of Sahibzada Abdul Latif. The status and rank of Hazrat Sahibzada Shaheed (martyr) and the event of his martyrdom, with its painful but faith enhancing example, do not stand in need of any introduction. This great martyrdom is a glowing example of patience and steadfastness in the path of faith and true belief. Perhaps never before has there been a greater need than now to dispel the darkness surrounding us by the light of this example. The founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, has recorded the details of Hazrat Sahibzada's martyrdom and that of his faithful pupil Hazrat Mian Abdur Rahman Shaheed in the exquisite book, Tazkirat-ul Shahadatain (The Story of Two Martyrs). In his book, the Founder has also counselled his followers and drawn their attention towards an important affair of which they must remain mindfulat all times.

Enormous contribution in the form of leading articles, research papers of high standard and com­ prehensive books regarding its majestic teachings, whether pro and against^ from the side of the Muslims or non-Muslims, provide an overt proof for its extra ordinary importance, un- comparable to any manifestation of human science and intellect. The teachings of the holy Book being revolutionary in its character, provide a complete guidance to the human being for adopting 'the right path as proposed by the Omnipotent God for a Successful life in this world and the world Hereafter. This aspect of study of the holy Quran is purely religious. The preservance oE the Revelation, its specific arrangement, majestic presentation, omission and addition, rhyme and rhythm andjabove all, its miraculous character, both from the point of view of ideology and literature, testify for its being a marvellous literary monument, :fer above in excellence» in com- prision to any human endeavour , irrespective of age and place.

    A Waqifaat-e-Nau said that in the UK they are thinking of restricting purdah (Hijab). My question is what can we Nasirat do about this? Huzur-e-Anwaraba said that if it is needed to show your face in public places for identity purposes then there is nothing harmful in it while your hair and chin are still covered, which is the minimum form of purdah (covering). Huzuraba said, but they are also thinking of banning Hijab or also of deporting those mothers back to their countries who have been living in UK on spouse visas since two years and do not understand the English language. At this, an eight year old girl (Ahmadi) had written to the Prime Minister saying that although my mother has a Master’s Degree in English, her accent is such that I make fun of her, so because of this, will you take my mother away from me and deport her? It was a very emotional letter and was published in the Independent and other well circulated Newspapers too. Huzur-e-Anweraba said that similarly you should write letters too. You should write that we are Muslim girls and if we chose to cover our heads or wear hijab or cover ourselves then why does it bother you? Huzuraba said that you too should write letters and a make point across that no one is forcing us to do purdah. The Religion also says that there should be sanctity and modesty in every woman. In the Holy Qur’an, where God Almighty has Commanded women to cover themselves, men have been commanded not to look at women with wide open eyes and to lower their gaze (to do purdah of their eyes).
