My name is Muhammad Zubair, approximately thirty-five years of my life have been spent in Lahore, after that I moved to Chanabnagar. I was a born Ahmadi, I lived their (in Chenab Nagar) for three years, got married there, my marriage lasted for three years. When ALLAH SWT blessed me with guidance, after this all these relationships ended. Afterwards, they put my stuff in my bag and asked me to get out of Chenab Nagar and never come back again, else we will break your legs, and they handed over my bag to me and drove me out of there.
When I accepted Islam, a few days later, they filed a (false) case against me, and because of that I was imprisoned for two and a half years in Jail. Ok then again not only for once. Then second time what they did, they thrashed me violently, and just imagine for what reason they thrashed me? It happened me in Chenab Nagar.
I went to my home, my house members didn’t allow me to enter, so I went inside by jumping over the wall. After all it was my own home. My kids and my wife were there, my belongings were there, obviously all that was mine, I was supposed to meet them, so i went to meet them, I have no idea that who informed the office of “Sadar Amumi” (Local Head of Jamaat). Their two off roads, two motorcycles and countless men came after me, well equipped with sticks. They all encircled me and thrashed me violently and took me to the police station afterwards, and asked them (policemen) to lodge a F.I.R against him. They said how can we lodge any complaint against him? Look how badly you have thrashed him that he is all bleeding. Anyhow they used their influence.
To cut a long story short, they made him file a F.I.R against me, detained me for a few days, my wounds healed, they filed F.I.R against me.
What benefit they will derive from my death eventually? But, it is very obvious that now they only want me to die! See until I was strong or young they could have imagined so Now, as you can see that what state I am in? I have undergone my surgeries, I remain unwell, Now I fee like I am not the same anymore. All such immoral behavior, the thrashing, filing false cases against me, or all other evils done to me, not being allowed to meet my family, or my rights are not being fulfilled. The basic reasons for all this that comes to my mind is that I have accepted Islam and left the Jamaat.
Host: Does they treat the same way with all those who accept Islam after abondoning the Ahmadiyya Jamaat?
M. Zubair: There are many such events in my knowledge in which they have done the battering, being parted from their families. There are a number of such people there (in Chanabnagar) who dislike them but they are afraid of leaving the Jamaat, as they will lose their family, property, business and assets etc. As the same happened to me and with other fellows.
Host: Since how many years you haven’t met your daughter?
M. Zubair: It’s been two to three years.
Host: Did you make any effort in these two to three years?
M. Zubair: Making effort was useless. I tried once or twice but consequently when I went to their home, told them that I am here only for the talk, tell me why aren’t you letting me meet them? But despite this, I was being held in police custody and a case was filed on me.
Host: How do you feel like leading a scheduled life?
M. Zubair: Its almost solitary confinement, a very painful experience, a very torturous situation, it is extremely difficult and agonizing for me to survive in this situation. Every time I go outside, I feel like I might come across any relative, but the fact is, no one is mine in this world, I am all alone. This is the reality but my heart is not ready to accept this. The moment you enter your house, your kids, wife and relatives are welcoming you, this vanished your fatigue and you forget all your worries.
On the other hand, when I arrive, opening my room’s door for me is the same as if I am going in a torturous confinement, it is very diffiult for me to open that door, I think it would have been better for me if I had stayed somewhere outside.
Till now, did the United Nations recieve any complaint from us? That how these Ahmadees have treated reverted Muslims? Did our complaint reach any country or any government?
To live and survive in this world and life, you have to accept the bitter realities.
