Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din

Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din (1870 – December 28, 1932) was a prominent figure of the early Ahmadiyya movement[1] and the author of numerous works about Islam.

His grandfather, Abdur Rashid, a poet, was at one time chief Muslim Judge of Lahore during the Sikh period.

[4] In 1893, he joined the movement and became a close disciple of Ghulam Ahmad,[5] Kamal-ud-Din worked as a lecturer and then as principal of Islamia College, Lahore.

In 1912 he travelled to England on behalf of a client and was instructed by Hakeem Noor-ud-Din, the first caliph (successor) to Ghulam Ahmad, to try to get the disused Shah Jahan Mosque re-opened.

Kamal-ud-Din ended his legal career in 1912, and devoted his life to the propagation of non-denominational Islam in Britain.
