History

Sayyeda Nusrat Jahan Begum also known by the title Ummul-Mu'mineen meaning ‘Mother of the Believers’ and Hazrat Amman Jan ‘Beloved Mother' within the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, was the second wife of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the daughter of Mir Nasir Nawab of Delhi. The marriage is seen, within the Community, as having fulfilled certain prophecies. The family had descended from the “Ahl al-Bayt” (Family) of Muhammad, hence called the “Sada'at”. The genealogical tree connects her to Hussain the grandson of Muhammad after 40 generations. Her forefathers had migrated from Bukhara in the reign of the Mughul King Shah Jahan. The well known Urdu poet and Mystic Khwaja Mir Dard (1721–1785) was the great grand father of Nusrat Jahan Begum.

The Nikah (Wedding Ceremony) of Sayyeda Nusrat Jahan Begum and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was performed on November 17, 1884, at Delhi, by the famous religious scholar Syed Nazeer Husain of Delhi.

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed he had received a divine revelation on 20 February 1886; two years after his wedding to Sayyeda Nusrat Jahan. Till then he had no issues from her. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad also predicted that a son would be born to him, a possessor of great qualities.

Hazrat Amma Jan was a profoundly virtuous and revered lady. She believed in Islam and Ahmadiyyat with all her heart & soul. The most shining aspects of her character were Divine worship, generosity, and hospitality, helping the needy, cleanliness, perseverance, and complete faith in God under all circumstances.
