Dr. Muhammad Nasim Sahib


Dr Nasim Sahib was a retired Judge of the Allahabad High Court. On his retirement he migrated to London and settled in Central London. On my arrival in London in February, 1959 he was the General Secretary of the UK Jamaat. Soon after my arrival I was appointment General Secretary and Naib Imam. I took charge from Dr. Nasim Sahib.

Dr. Nasim Sahib was a scholar, a prolific writer and an orator. He wrote articles for various magazines and delivered scholarly lectures at the general meetings of the Jamaat.

Hospitality was a great quality of Dr. Sahib. He used to invite members of the High Commission of Pakistan and other dignitories to dinners at his residence. I had the privilege of being invited by him on all such occasions. His circle of friendship was vast.

He was a friend of the Monarch of Malaysia. The King visited London in 1960 and was staying at the Claridges Hotel. Dr. Sahib used to meet him at the Hotel. He invited me also to meet the King and to give him some literature of the Ahmadiyya Movement. The king received us with open arms and offered us coffee. I had an opportunity to convey to him the message of Ahmadyyat and presented him some books about Ahmadiyyat.

Dr. Sahib had a charming personality. One of his great qualities was his punctuality. He was a well dressed person.

His wife was the first President of Lajna Imaullah UK.
