In 1896, at age 12, Muhammad Yousaf was admitted to Mission High School Peshawar [1] He later studied at Islamia High School, completing his Secondary School Certificate Examination.

Introduction to Ahmadiyya

In 1901, he came across books by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad,[2] namely ‘Shuhna e Haq’ and ‘Izala e Auhaam’ [3][4]

Conversion and Bay'ah (Ahmadiyya)

On January 15, 1902, Qazi Muhammad Yousaf converted to Ahmadiyya Islam due to the efforts of his English teacher Munshi Khadim Hussain [5] He attended the Annual Ahmadiyya Convention in December 1902 and physically took the Bay'ah (Ahmadiyya) at the hands of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. In Qadian, he also had the opportunity to meet Sahibzada Abdul Latif[6]

A dream of Khalifa Hakeem Noor-ud-Din

On May 28, 1908, he participated in the funeral prayers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and took his fresh Oath of Allegiance ( Bay'ah (Ahmadiyya) ) at the hands of the newly elected Khalifa Hakeem Noor-ud-Din.[7] In 1912, Yousaf met Khalifa Hakeem Noor-ud-Din and presented his book Iblagh e Haq to him, giving him a written request for prayers. On the same letter, the Khalifa wrote, he would pray for him. He also wrote a ‘Ro’ya’ (dream) of his own upon the same letter. He wrote: “Insha Allah I shall pray for you. You must also persist in prayers. I saw Hadhrat Umar in a Ro’ya (dream). He was saying, ‘Iran is destroyed’. They [Iranis] abuse me, ( Tabarra ) l but I don’t care, I am now preparing armies. May Allah make you a commander of that army.”[8]
