Queen Sehba. The First Qadiani Queen.

However, during her nearly half-an-hour stay at the fort, Begum Musharraf gave a miss to the private mosque, built by Emperor Shahjahan for the ladies of his court, where the staffers were ready with cloth shoes for their distinguished guest, if she decided to go there.

Dressed in a light coffee coloured salwar-kameez, Begum Musharraf pleased the cameramen, who requested her to pose for them, by making an “adaab” gesture while taking a round of the beautiful octagonal “Musamman Burj”.[The Tribune. Tuesday, July 17, 2001, Chandigarh, India]



Pervez Musharraf mentions in this book, “In The Line Of Fire,” about Sehba Farid. But his revelations extend to only the existence of a certain Ghulam Ghaus Farid, the father of Sehba.
Nothing more. And the Pakistani press has been silent (or made silent) about the history of his wife’s family. For a man who raves about the beauty of a woman to be his wife,[i] it is amazing that he is quiet about certain aspects of Sehba’s life. Just as in Budhism they are quiet about the existence of God, we under Mushism are quiet about the Queen of Pakistan.

There is no question that since October 1999 she has ruled like a Queen. What is she? Who does she belong to? How much influence does she have on Musharraf’s policies and his circle of advisors? What made Musharraf, the proven opportunist, marry her? Research tells us that Ghulam Ghaus Farid belonged to Okara, Panjab. He went to Aligarh to study and his wife was a lady from Lucknow, India. That is how Sehba Musharraf claims to be from Lucknow. Ghulam Ghaus Farid’s family had converted from some Panjabi clan to Qadianiat. Hence the Queen of Pakistani was a born Qadiani and so are many of her relatives who have been given very quick promotions in the Pakistani Army.

Some facts came out during the visit of the Queen to India. That she is related to a famous poet.[ii] And some facts came out about Musharraf’s heritage also. Interestingly there was a Pir Baba ka Mazar (Pir Baba’s tob) right inside the house in Darya Ganj,[iii] where his maternal grandfather Qazi Mohtashimuddin used to light a lamp all the time . After Musharraf’s visit to Pir Baba Ka Mazar, the local Hindus came with Ganga water to wash the house. (Not reported in Pakistani Press....)[iv].
In his book Musharraf even forgot to mention Makhdoom Patti, Panipat where his father Musharrafuddin was born to Sharrifuddin (and Amina Begum the daughter of Mohtashimuddin) and the house was next to the Dargah of Hazrat Shah Makhdoom. And Sharifuddin belonged to the family of “Sajjadanasheens” of the Dargah. For a man who talks about an uncle Ghazi Ghulam Haider and episodes of hitting a bald head in the Park in his book - a totally unbelievable story - he could have mentioned his family history if he were not shy about it. Or he had nothing to hide. Why the bald head story is unbelievable is that in Karachi of those days a man who could shine his head with oil did not take a slap on the head twice. He would shove it somewhere.
The queen, Sehba Musharraf, was a Qadiani and remains a Qadiani, a sect also known as Ahmadi and Ahmadiya. Ahmadi’s do not believe that Mohammed (PBUH) was the last prophet – one of the basic tenets of Islamic belief system. Those who don’t believe that Prophet Mohammed was the last prophet are not considered as Muslims. In Paksitan, Qadiaynis/Ahmadi’s have been officially declared as non-Muslims. Thus they harbour resentment and hard feelings for Pakistan and Islam as practiced by Muslims. Ahamdiya sect also has a headquarter in Haifa, Israel. The pictures on the right are from Mahmoud mosque Kababir in Haifa.
Kababir is a neighborhood that was formerly an Arab village. Kababir is the only settlement in Israel whose residents come from the Ahmadiyya sect of Islam. Its founder, an Indian Muslim, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani of Punjab, India, arrived at the village and persuaded its inhabitants to join the sect.
And it is always good to read history.[v] In 1924, it was Syria. Now the target is Pakistan. [vi]
Sehba Musharraf is quiet about all this in the Press but fully acts it. As mentioned earlier, she did not visit the Mosque built for ladies because it was not a Qadiani Mosque. (as above but visited the site of Akbar’s religion.[vii]
It is Musharraf’s religiosity that is interesting. He used to say, he was born Shia. He used to write Syed Pervez Musharraf. For political reasons he became a Syed when he wanted to get the MMA vote. (“How can a Syed go back on his word?” This was when he was giving them a pledge to remove his uniform by December 2004).
For his promotions with Zia, he was a Syed Deobandi. Interestingly to get permission to marry his beautiful wife he had to get the blessings of Mirza Saheb and that you get by secretly pledging (bayat) that you are converting to Qadiani. According to Naveed Musharraf, the brother of Musharraf :
“We are nominal Muslims, in that we don’t go to the mosque very often and neither do we pray five times a day. I don’t know how to read the Quran and neither do my brothers,” said Dr Musharraf. “My father is not a religious person too. We are all very secular. My brother believes that religion and state should be separate and that there is room for all religions.”
Pervez Musharraf has retained some of the rebelliousness of his grandfather.
In an incident recalled by one of Musharraf’s former commanders to Associated Press, the officer recounts how Musharraf once wanted to invite a favourite singer, Iqbal Bano, for a concert at the officer’s mess. But women were not allowed to enter the mess without the permission from the top commander. Musharraf persuaded his senior officer to call the top commander, who was on a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Permission granted, the singer performed in the mess.[viii]
So Musharraf does have a meaning of “Enlightened Moderation” and like his “Essence of Democracy”, he does have an “Essence of Islam” but he keeps his cards close to his chest. We have heard him play cards only with Brig. Niaz, may be he knows his cards! (Did Brig Niaz visit Kababir?)
It is interesting that Musharraf called Benazir “non-religious”. What did he mean? According to Queen Sehba, all those who do not have a “bayat” to Mirza Saheb are non-Muslims (infidels). Did Musharraf mean that way? Because, many say that Musharraf’s knowledge of Islam is limited to what he learnt from his beautiful Queen.
It should be remembered that Mushrraf had animosity with Bhutto family because his father at one time was suspended from service by Bhutto, and Queen Sehba Musharraf has animosity because Bhutto held hearings on Qadianiat. And the Queen also had assets (her relatives in the Army) who could go after Benazir.
