Remembering Dr. Abdul Mannan Siddiqui: First Martyr of the Second Century of the Ahmadiyya Khilafat

"To kill a man for his belief is inhuman and cannot be Islamic for Islam is a religion of humanity. And it is for our leaders to realise that by employing religion in the service of politics they have made this Islamic Republic into a world metaphor for dictatorship, brutality and terror where the youth are trained to kill and women, by many accounts, are buried alive."

Dr. Abdul Mannan Siddiqui Shaheed (46), who was District President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Mirpur Khas, was murdered at about 14:30 on September 8, 2008 in Mirpur Khas, Pakistan.

Dr. Siddiqui was a highly qualified physician. He was known for his competence and charity.


He was known to visit remote rural areas of Sindh routinely every month to provide free medical care to the poor. He was popular among other sections of society as well.

Dr. Siddiqui is survived by his widow, a daughter and a son in their teens and his aged mother.

Dr Siddiqui was the 15th Ahmadi doctor killed in Pakistan for his faith. Since the promulgation of the notorious Ahmadi-specific Ordinance XX in 1984, he is the 94th Ahmadi killed for his faith.
