Marriage

Upon Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad’s return from London in 1957, he was married to Sayyadah Aasifah Begum. After his wedding, he received a three-bedroom home and a twenty-five acre parcel of land from his father, Hazrat Musleh Mau’ud (ra). On this he grew crops and pastured cows. Early in the morning, after Fajr Prayer, he would cycle three miles to his dairy farm near Ahmadnagar (Pakistan) for milk to bring home. In this way, he would get both exercise and leisure. Allah the Almighty granted Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (rta) four daughters. As an exemplary husband and affectionate father, he showed great tenderness and love to his daughters. He would take them to his fish farm in Ahmadnagar, where everyone would have an enjoyable time. During this loving time together, he would teach them moral lessons. At night, he would tell them stories which were mostly about religious topics and lessons from the lives of the Prophets of Allah.
