What a great blessing it was that after visiting Jalsa UK last August, some Indonesian intellectuals from Alaudin State Islamic University of Makassar, South Sulawesi had the honour of journeying to Qadian.  

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih delivered a short address after the Asr prayer, prior to leaving Qadian. The outline of that address in simple words is that the Holy Prophet s.a. used to appoint amirs (interim heads) in his absence when he would leave for journeys

In 1891, the Promised Messiah a.s, to further deliberate upon the establishment of an Anjuman as explained in his book Asmani Faislah (The Heavenly Decree), invited his followers to come to Qadian on 27 December. 

The word darwesh in the Arabic language translates to someone who takes a vow of austerity and turns away from worldly pursuits devoting his life for the sake of Islam.

Aftab Khan Sahib, former Amir of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya UK, was also present on the train journey from Delhi to Qadian and was interviewed by Naseer Ahmad Qamar Sahib.

Some Muslim political activists in the All India National Congress, who had broken away from the congress due to differences on various issues, came together and formed the Majlis-i-Ahrar-i-Islam in the last part of the 1920s and the early 1930s. 

In 1919, under the instruction of Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih II r.a, Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Sadiq r.a. was told to set course to America to establish the Ahmadiyya Jamaat within the country and begin the propagation of Islam to the Western audience.

On the demise of great scholars like Hazrat Maulvi Abdul Karim Sialkoti r.a. and Hazrat Burhanuddin Jehlmi r.a., the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad a.s. felt the need to establish an institution that could produce more scholars.
