In 1893 he joined the Ahmadiyya Movement and became a close associate of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Founder of the Ahmadiyya movement. He served the Movement and the Founder in various leading capacities. Through Mirza’s teaching and influence, the Khwaja was inspired to become a successful lecturer, orator and missionary of Islam, and gave powerful lectures before large multi-faith audiences in many countries.

In 1912 he proceeded to England and laid the foundation of the “Woking Muslim Mission and Literary Trust” [ [http://www.wokingmuslim.org Woking Muslim Mission Website] ] as well as "The Islamic Review".

From 1912 till his death, he devoted his life to the propagation of Islam. Besides visiting England several times for lengthy periods, he also toured other countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, including his home country of India, delivering lectures on Islam.
