Around the world, dozens of Ahmadi Muslims are persecuted for their faith. This dramatic series tells the emotional yet inspiring stories of brave members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community who were jailed for their beliefs with some even sentenced to death. They endured harsh conditions in dilapidated prisons and were separated from their families.
Abdul Shakoor was a 78-year-old optician and bookseller who was falsely convicted on terrorism charges for selling peaceful religious literature. A cheerful, amicable man, he was made the target of extremist clerics who conspired to have him jailed and even called for his execution. Through patience and prayer, he endured the trial and was finally released, even meeting President Donald Trump after gaining freedom.
Muzaffar Malik was arrested as a 25-year-old man wrongly accused of bombing a local mosque. His death sentence by hanging was signed off by the dictator General Zia-ul-Haq who vowed to destroy the community. But through the prayers of the then spiritual leader of the community, Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, he was miraculously freed and escaped the death penalty.
Tahir Mahdi was jailed for printing a 100-year-old religious magazine in Pakistan. His daughter found the ordeal unbearable, as his time in jail grew long. The prayers and letters of the spiritual leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad were their only source of solace and comfort, until he was eventually released.
All three endured years of torment and suffering, never waving in their faith. Their stories are being officially told for the first time.
