After the Promised Messiah's death he became a staunch, leading supporter of Mirza Mahmud Ahmad's side and was subsequently a prominent figure in the Qadiani Jamaat. While all during Maulana Muhammad Ali's life he wrote against the Maulana, on the death of the Maulana he wrote a very moving tribute for Paigham Sulh. Some years ago I translated it into English. <a href="http://www.ahmadiyya.org/m-ali/turab.htm" rel="nofollow">It can be read here.</a> Interestingly, the editor of Al-Hakam, the writer of this article, was Shaikh Yaqub Ali Turab.

The creation of the Ahmadi anjumans is not for the sake of any one individual, but is for the benefit of the entire community. So if a person, merely because his proposal or opinion at some meeting is not followed or is opposed, is offended and obstructs the work, then remember that he is guilty of a severe sin in the eyes of God. He wishes to damage the whole community." Unquote. I wonder who was the person or persons the editor in this editorial had in mind when he gave this advice to the Ahmadi community. Sometimes I wish it was possible to travel 100 years back in time and talk to the Ahmadi community of that time as to how their actions could lead to severe consequences for the movement in the future. But I know when people are bent on self destruction no power on earth can stop them. All the more praise to the Lahori elders who could visualize the future and charted a separate course for themselves. Quote:
