Mubasher Ahmad is a prominent figure in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, serving as a missionary (maulvi), regional missionary, imam, and national spokesperson. Appointed as a missionary in 1988 by Mirza Tahir Ahmad without formal Jamia training, he has held various leadership roles, including president of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Chapter (1980-1984), national general secretary, managing editor of The Muslim Sunrise magazine in the early 1980s, and current Editor-in-Chief of The Muslim Sunrise. He has served in multiple US regions, including South-East (1990s), West-Midwest (2008), Bay Area (2010-2015), Silicon Valley, Houston, and others, and is based primarily out of the headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Born in 1942 in Qadian, India, his family relocated to Pakistan after the 1947 partition. Before dedicating himself to full-time Ahmadiyya service, he worked as an associate professor of English at the College of Agriculture, University of Peshawar (1964-1969) and immigrated to the US in the 1970s. He is an author of Approaching the West and a contributor to Ahmadiyya publications such as The Truth about the Alleged Punishment for Apostasy in Islam. Critics, including anti-Ahmadi sources, allege he received an 'honorary' missionary title without traditional seminary education and describe personal encounters negatively.
