The ‘Caliph’ Launders Money — Panama Papers
“for I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” — Thomas Jefferson, 1800
New ‘Caliph’ is always the former Money Mirza
The pitiable followers of the Qadiani Ahmadiyya cult are led to believe that God selects their ‘Caliph’. Two years before he was ‘elected’ by the Mirza Family, by 2001, it was widely known that Mirza Masroor Ahmad would be the next ‘Caliph’. Why? He handled the money and was responsible for moving charity money from Pakistan to offshore accounts and then to family-controlled investments in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the West.
And the next ‘Caliph’ will be the one from the Mirza Family who handles and launders charitable money through secretive off-shore channels and can be trusted by all branches of the Mirza Family to maintain their trust funds.
Prior to that, Mirza Tahir Ahmad (next article) and Mirza Nasir Ahmad were the money men prior to becoming ‘Caliphs’ in 1982 and 1965 respectively.
Summit, Nusrat and Alhamad Offshore Properties Companies
These were the off-shore companies run by Mirza Masroor Ahmad, when he was de facto head of Qadiani Ahmadiyya in Pakistan, and with the nominee address of Abdul Baqi Arshad in London, U.K. The directors are all members of the Mirza Family and NOT directly in the Finance Department. When it became clear in 2001 that Mirza Masroor would be the next ‘Caliph’, two of the companies were dissolved and one dissolved immediately after he ascended to the leadership in April 2003.
The other directors named below are not from the same branch of the family as Mirza Masroor Ahmad and held non-related posts within the organizations and also worked outside the organization in the private sector during these periods.
The unanswerable questions are:
- If this is private property of the Syed (Mir) branch of the Mirza family, what is Mirza Masroor — a very senior official and head of Ahmadiyya Pakistan at the time — doing as a director?
- If it is the property of the organization, why were private individuals from the Mirza family on the board. During this period, it has always been illegal to to transfer substantial funds out of Pakistan.
The only logical answer is: the Mirza family runs the Qadiani Ahmadiyya organization as a family business.
Fazal Enterprises run by Qamar Suleman Ahmad
When it became apparent that Mirza Masroor Ahmad was going to become the next ‘Caliph’, this company is incorporated and funds from the above companies transferred to it. This entity is now run by the same individuals in Pakistan, without fear of ‘persecution’. It is becoming apparent that Qamar Suleman Ahmad is now the family money man. We also have information that companies now exist in Luxembourg and/or Jersey that have taken over from the Panama and Virgin Islands companies.
However, Mirza Masroor Ahmad is in good health and the line of succession is not yet clear as the ‘Caliph-in-waiting’ of the Mirza family is usually promoted through Finance (Wakil Maal) and the bureaucracy.
Mirza Fazal Ahmad (of TJ Holdings) was promoted to Wakil Maal II but it appears that he has been shunted aside.
Do Persecuted Sit in Pakistan and Have Off-shore Companies?
While there is general discrimination against Ahmadis in Pakistan, for which I blame both sides, the Qadiani Ahmadiyya organisation is allowed to function without hindrance. Their donations, their places of worship and their central offices in Chanab Nagar (Rabwah) function as they always have. They run their own bank (Amanat) in addition to having accounts with national banks, all of which have branches in Chanab Nagar (Rabwah).
Many of the directors of these off-shore companies give their home addresses in Chanab Nagar and in Lahore.
Question: If there was any risk to organization money in Pakistan and it had to be moved abroad, why were these directors of off-shore companies Pakistani residents, and not Ahmadis in the West?
The answer is obvious: the Mirza family is mostly based in Pakistan and there is not, and has never been, any risk to private property in Pakistan.
Also, if there was risk as has been suggested by some, the Mirza Family would let the duly appointed financial officers of the organization execute these laundering arrangements, and not put family members on the line. In the early 2000s, when only one Mirza family member was arrested in Pakistan, a member of the Canadian Parliament flew down to Pakistan to get him released. So, it is correct to assume that these Pakistani directors of off-shore companies see no risk to themselves and just want the family interests protected.
The Draconian Collector — Mirza Masroor Ahmad
Mirza Masroor’s period has been known to be focused on one thing — money collection — above all. Every couple of years he publicly scolds his secretaries of finance of being aggressive (which is quoted by some) but here is how he threatens internally, including the poorest of the poor in the West — benefits recipients:
Net income includes social benefits and unemployment benefits:
There are handy calculators that show how 8–12% of the income of those on benefits will be tithed. The number is even higher because one income earner has to pay the mandatory amounts for non-working seniors and women, and even children and toddlers — see below.
Social Stigmatization if not ‘Voluntary’ Participation
So the Wasiyyat programme is ‘voluntary’ and it means that 10% of income (in addition to other ‘mandatory’ donations) and all property of a cult member is donated to the organization in return for a grave in a specially designated ‘heavenly graveyard’. Note how the ‘caliph’ threatens to replace office-holders in this letter, and we thought they were elected!
I would like to emphasize that the instructions from Hudhur Anwar (Mirza Masroor Ahmad) clearly indicate that the non-Moosi (not participating in voluntary Wasiyyat programme) office-bearers should be replaced by Moosis. It has been further advised that the Chanda (donation) details of office bearers should be properly checked and the relevant members may be advised where the payments are not being made at the prescribed rate.
A Dollar or Two from Toddlers — no comment
Worship Halls are Built and Maintained Locally, and owned Nationally
Another excuse being floated around is that the money held in off-shore companies is used to build and maintain places of worship. This is a lie. Here is a list of towns in U.K. and the amounts they are expected to raise as part of the ‘Mosque Fund’. Note that it is a simple formula of £2,000 per person — man, woman and child. In addition to their regular burden, members contribute for years towards this fund and then build a worship hall, which is automatically owned (unlike other religions) by the ‘Centre’ of the country. Here is a sample of targets from a recent internal document leaked to us:
London Region Official ‘Mosque Fund’ Targets:
Area — — Number of Members — — TARGET
BAITUL FUTUH(BFU) — 450 — £700,000.00
BALHAM (BAL) — 310 — £500,000.00
CHEAM (CHM) — 350 — £500,000.00
CLAPHAM (CLP) — 200 — £300,000.00
Conclusion
The former Money Mirza is now the ‘Caliph’. He was friends with Abdul Baqi Arshad (who was used as the contact and who is a senior director of many UK charities as well as many off-shore companies — see below) long before he was in U.K. He was head of off-shore companies while head of Qadiani Ahmadiyya Pakistan and he had other family members, and not his financial officers, as directors. When it was apparent he would become the new ‘caliph’, the off-shore companies he headed were dissolved, and have been replaced by others.
Building places of worship and maintaining them is local.
We re-iterate that it is not ethical for any charity official to engage in such off-shore companies in locations that guarantee secrecy. There was no risk in keeping or investing money in Pakistan, or once laundered abroad, to keep in open and transparent company structures. Also, the directors of these off-shore secret companies in Pakistan did not see any risk in their activities or continued directorship, or any risk in the laundering of money out of the country for investment.
The ONLY people being fooled are the poor Ahmadis of Pakistan. They deserve much better leadership than the Mirza family that survives through hatred of Muslims and Pakistan, crying wolf all the time. They take the money of their poor followers, contribute to a hostile environment for them in Paksitan, and then treat them with such disdain and tyranny.
