Service to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

Tehrik-e-Jadid Commitment
In 1934, during the Ahrar movement’s agitation near Qadian, Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad, al-Musleh al-Mau‘ud (ra), initiated the Tehrik-e-Jadid scheme to expand the missionary activities of the community. While still a bachelor’s student, Muhammad Ibrahim Nasir pledged his services to this cause. Upon completing his degree in 1935, he became one of the first members of the Tehrik-e-Jadid institution.

International Missionary Work
On 21 October 1936, Muhammad Ibrahim Nasir embarked on a journey to the United States alongside Sufi Mati-ur-Rehman to assist in missionary activities. They arrived at Ellis Island in New York on 3 December 1936. However, Muhammad Ibrahim Nasir’s adherence to the Islamic principle of polygamy conflicted with US immigration policies, resulting in his deportation back to London.

Following this, Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad (ra) assigned him to serve the small Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Budapest, Hungary.
