'''Hakeem Noor-ud-Din''' (also spelled '''Hakim Nur-ud-Din'''; {{script|ur-Arab|حکیم نور الدین}}; 8 January 1834 – 13 March 1914)<ref name="source">{{cite web|url=https://www.alfazlonline.org/11/04/2020/14869/ |title=حضرت خلیفۃ المسیح الاولؓ کی عمر کے متعلق جدید تحقیق|date=11 April 2020 }}</ref> was a close companion of [[Mirza Ghulam Ahmad]], the founder of the [[Ahmadiyya Movement]], and his first successor and [[Ahmadiyya Caliphate|first Ahmadiyya caliph]] since 27 May 1908.

Royal Physician to the [[Maharaja]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] for many years, his extensive travels included a long stay in the cities of [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]] in pursuit of religious learning. Noor-ud-Din was the first person to give [[bay'ah]] (pledge of allegiance) to Ghulam Ahmad in 1889 and remained his closest associate and confidant, leaving his home in [[Bhera]] and setting up permanent residence at [[Qadian]] in 1892.{{sfn|Ahmad|2003|pp=84–5}} He assisted Ghulam Ahmad throughout his religious vocation, himself authored several volumes of rebuttals to criticisms raised by Christian and Hindu polemicists against Islam and was instrumental in arranging some of the public debates between Ghulam Ahmad and his adversaries.{{sfn|Friedmann|2003|pp=14}} After Ghulam Ahmad's death, he was unanimously chosen as his successor. Under Noor-ud-Din's leadership, the Ahmadiyya movement began to organise missionary activity with small groups of Ahmadis emerging in [[South India|southern India]], [[Bengal]] and [[Afghanistan]], the [[Ahmadiyya in the United Kingdom|first Islamic mission in England]] was established in 1913,{{sfn|Friedmann|2003|pp=15}} and work began on the English [[Ahmadiyya translations of the Quran|translation of the Quran]].{{sfn|Ahmad|2003|p=124}} His lectures on [[Tafsir|Quranic exegesis]] and [[Hadith]] were one of the main attractions for visitors to Qadian after Ghulam Ahmad.{{Citation needed|date=August 2025}} Many prominent scholars and leaders were his students, including [[Muhammad Ali (writer)|Muhammad Ali]] and [[Maulvi Sher Ali|Sher Ali]], who were themselves Quranic commentators and [[Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad|Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud]] who succeeded him as the caliph.

==Family==
Hakeem Noor-ud-Din was the youngest of seven brothers and two sisters and the 34th direct lineal male descent of [[Umar Ibn al-Khattab]], the second [[caliph]] of Islam.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.alislam.org/library/books/HazratMaulviNooruddeen.pdf | title=Hadrat Maulawi Nur-ud-Din: Khalifatul Masih I | access-date=19 April 2011 | author=Khan, Muhammad Zafrulla | page=1}}</ref>{{primary source inline|date=December 2020}} The forebears of Maulana Noor-ud-Deen, on migration from [[Medina]] settled down in [[Balkh]] and became rulers of [[Kabul]] and [[Ghazni]]. During the attack of [[Genghis Khan]], his ancestors migrated from [[Kabul]] and first settled near [[Multan]] and then finally at [[Bhera]]. Among his forefathers were a number of individuals who taught [[Islam]] and claimed a proud privilege of heading a chain of descendants who had memorized the [[Qur'an]]; His earlier eleven generations shared this distinction. Among the ancestors of Maulana Noor-ud-Deen, there were [[Saints in Islam|saints]] and [[Islamic scholar|scholars]] of high repute. [[Sultans]], ''[[Sufi]]is'', ''[[Qadi|Qazi]]''s and [[Shaheed|martyrs]] were all among his [[Family tree of Umar|ancestors]] who once enjoyed an important place in the [[Muslim World]]. In [[Bhera]] (his birthplace), his [[Family tree of Umar|family]] was accorded a high degree of respect from the beginning.{{sfn|Ahmad|2003|pp=1–6}}

== Early years and education ==
Noor-ud-Din considered his mother, Noor Bakht, to be his first teacher. He used to say that he was fed the love of the [[Quran]] through his mother's milk. He went to a local school for his early education. His father Hafiz Ghulam Rasul, a devoted Muslim and parent placed great emphasis on his children's education. Noor-ud-Din spoke [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] as his mother tongue, but after hearing a soldier speaking [[Urdu]], he fell in love with the language and learnt it by reading Urdu literature. His eldest brother, Sultan Ahmad, was a learned person who owned a printing press in [[Lahore]]. Once when Noor-ud-Din was 12 years old, he accompanied his brother to Lahore, where he fell ill and was successfully treated by Hakeem Ghulam Dastgir of Said Mitha. Impressed by his manner and his renown, Noor-ud-Din became eager to study [[medicine]]; but his brother persuaded him to study [[Persian language|Persian]] and arranged for him to be taught by a famous Persian teacher, Munshi Muhammad Qasim Kashmiri.

Noor-ud-Din learnt Persian at Lahore, where he stayed for two years. His brother then taught him basic [[Arabic]]. In 1857, a traveling bookseller came to [[Bhera]] from [[Calcutta]]. He urged Noor-ud-Din to learn the translation of the [[Quran]] and presented him with a printed copy of five of the principal chapters of the Book together with their [[Urdu]] translation. Shortly after, a merchant from [[Bombay]] urged him to read two Urdu books, ''Taqviatul Iman'' and ''Mashariqul Anwar'', which were commentaries ([[Tafsir]]) on the [[Quran]]. A few years later, he returned to Lahore and started studying medicine with the renowned Hakeem Allah Deen of Gumti Bazaar. This turned out to be a short stay and the study was postponed.{{sfn|Ahmad|2003}}{{page needed|date=May 2017}} Noor-ud-Din was then sent to study at a School in [[Rawalpindi]] where he graduated with a [[Diploma]] at the age of 21 and thereafter, due to his academic abilities, was appointed the [[headmaster]] to a school in [[Pind Dadan Khan]] at the young age of 21. Noor-ud-Din first came into contact with Christian missionaries while he was in Rawalpindi.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://store.alislam.org/hayatenoor.html |title=Hayat-e-Noor |website=Store.alislam.org |access-date=2016-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202214921/http://store.alislam.org/hayatenoor.html |archive-date=2 February 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Further learning and travels ==
[[File:Allama Nur-ud-Din.jpg|thumb|Noor-ud-Din, c. 1899|301x301px]]
Noor-ud-Din travelled extensively throughout India for next 4–5 years and went to [[Rampur, Uttar Pradesh|Rampur]], [[Muradabad]], [[Lucknow]] and [[Bhopal]] to learn Arabic with the renowned teachers of that time. He learnt ''[[Mishkat al-Masabih]]'' from Syed Hasan Shah, [[Fiqh]] (Jurisprudence) from Azizullah Afghani, [[Kalam|Islamic Philosophy]] from Maulvi Irshad Hussain Mujaddadi, [[Arabic]] Poetry from Saadullah Uryall, and [[Logic]] from Maulvi Abdul Ali and Mullah Hassan.

In Lucknow, Noor-ud-Din went in the hope of learning [[Oriental medicine|Eastern medicine]] from the renowned Hakeem Ali Hussain Lucknowi. The Hakeem had taken a vow of not teaching anyone. It is narrated by biographers that he went to his house for an interview and the discussion between them impressed the Hakeem so much that he eventually agreed to take Noor-ud-Din as his disciple.

The next city he visited was Bhopal, where he practiced medicine and was introduced to the [[Nawab of Bhopal]] during this time.

=== Mecca and Medina ===
In 1865, at the age of thirty-one, he traveled to the cities of [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]]. He stayed there for many years to acquire religious knowledge. He learnt [[Hadith]] from famous Sheikh Hasan Khizraji and Maulvi Rahmatullah Kiraynalwi. He gave 'bay'ah' (pledge of allegiance) to Shah Abdul Ghani, the Grandson of [[Shah Waliullah Dehlawi|Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlawi]].

=== Return to Bhera ===
On his way back to his hometown, Noor-ud-Din stayed in Delhi for a few days. Here, he had the opportunity to attend a session of lessons by the leader and founder of the [[Darul Uloom Deoband|Deoband]] Seminary, [[Muhammad Qasim Nanotvi|Qasim Nanotawi]] and had a very good impression of him.{{sfn|Ahmad|2003|pp=31–2}}

In 1871 he returned to [[Bhera]], his home town, and started a religious school where he taught the [[Quran]] and the Hadith. He also started practice in the [[Oriental medicine|Eastern medicine]]. In a short time he became well known for his healing skills and his fame came to the notice of the [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Maharaja]] of [[Kashmir]], who appointed him in his court physician in 1876.

==Royal Physician==
In 1876 he was employed as the royal physician to Maharaja [[Ranbir Singh (Maharaja)|Ranbir Singh]] the ruler of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. There are detailed accounts of his tenure as the court physician. All the schools hospitals of the state were placed under him. Initially he worked under the Chief Physician [[Agha (Hakim) Muhammad Baqir]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://medind.nic.in/jab/t12/i1/jabt12i1p91.pdf |title=AYUSH in J&K:- A Historical Perspective with special reference to Unani System of Medicine. |author=Abdul Kabir Dar |website=Medind.nic.in |access-date=2016-01-27 |archive-date=19 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170919002903/http://medind.nic.in/jab/t12/i1/jabt12i1p91.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> but after Hakim Baqir's death he was made the chief physician himself. During his time as physician he is said to have given a lot of time to the service of Islam; and would often engage in religious and intellectual discussion with the Maharaja himself. During these discussions he was known for his fearlessness and frankness. The Maharaja and his son Raja Amar singh are said to have learnt the Quran from Noor-ud-Din.

The Maharajah is said to have stated once to his courtiers, "each one of you is here on some purpose or to seek some favour from me and keep flattering me, but this man (Hakeem Sahib) is the only person who has no axe to grind and is here because he is needed by the state. This is the reason why whatever is stated by Hakeem Sahib is listened to carefully as he has no ulterior motive."<ref name="ReferenceB">{{cite web|url=http://www.alislam.org/library/books/noor-ud-deen/hakeem-noor-ud-deen.pdf |title=Hakeem Noor-Ud-Deen : The Way of the Righteous |author=Syed Hasanat Ahmad |website=Alislam.org |access-date=2016-01-27}}</ref>

Being a scholar of [[Hebrew]] also, Noor-ud-Din was selected by [[Syed Ahmad Khan]] as the co-ordinator of the team of scholars in writing a commentary of the [[Torah]] from the Muslim viewpoint. During this time he was also actively involved with the [[Anjuman-i-Himayat-i-Islam]].

Noor-ud-Din had been the royal physician from 1876. when Maharajah [[Partab Singh of Kashmir|Partab Singh]] took over, Noor-ud-Din was made to leave the service of the state of Jammu in 1892 due to various political reasons. He was later offered the position in 1895 but declined the offer.

==Introduction to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad==
Noor-ud-Deen was constantly involved in religious debates with Christians and Hindus during his stay at [[Jammu]]. Once he was confronted by an atheist who asked him that if the concept of God was true, then how in this day and age of reason and knowledge, no one claims to be the recipient of Divine revelations. This was a question to which the Noor-ud-Din did not find an answer immediately.<ref name="ReferenceB"/> During the same period, he came across a torn page from a book named [[Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya]]. The book was written by one Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, who would later claim to be the [[Messiah|Promised Messiah]] and [[Mahdi]]. Noor-ud-Din was surprised to see that the writer of the page was a claimant of receiving [[Wahi]] (revelation). He purchased the book and read it with great interest. He was so impressed by the book that he decided to meet the writer. Noor-ud- Din later recalled his first meeting with Ghulam Ahmad in his own words.<ref>Al-Hakam (22 April 1908)
</ref>
{{cquote| As I arrived in a nearby place of Qadian, I got excited and was also trembling with anxiety and prayed feverishly....|cquote}}

Noor-ud-Deen later stated:

{{cquote| It was after [[Asr]] prayer, I approached ''Masjid Mubarak''. As soon as I saw his face I was overjoyed, and felt happy and grateful to have found the ''perfect man'' that I was seeking all my life...

At the end of the first meeting, I offered my hand for [[Bay'ah]]. Hazrat Mirza Sahib (Ghulam Ahmad) said, he was not yet Divinely commissioned to accept Bay'ah; then I made Mirza Sahib promise me that I would be the person whose Bay'ah would be accepted first...(Al-Hakam, April 22, 1908)|cqote}}

During his stay in Qadian, Noor-ud-Din became a close friend of Ghulam Ahmad and it is apparent in the writings of both persons that they held each other in highest esteem. Although this relationship soon became that of a Master and disciple and Noor Deen devoted himself as a student to Ahmad. He eventually migrated to Qadian and made his home there soon after he was made to leave his job in Kashmir. He would often accompany Ghulam Ahmad on his travels.

Noor Deen once asked Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to assign him a task by the way of Mujahida ([[Jihad]]). Ahmad asked him to write a book answering the Christian allegations against Islam. As a result, Noor-ud-Din wrote two volumes of ''Faslul Khitab, Muqaddimah Ahlul Kitaab''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.alislam.org/urdu/pdf/6.php |title=Fasal-ul-Khitab Moqadama Ahl-ul-Kitab - Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Urdu Pages |website=Alislam.org |access-date=2016-01-27}}</ref>

After completing this, he again asked Ghulam Ahmad the same question. This time, Ahmad assigned him to write a rebuttal to [[Arya Samaj]]. Noor-ud-Din wrote ''Tasdeeq [[Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.alislam.org/pdf/mulfozaat.pdf |access-date=21 February 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070717214159/http://www2.alislam.org/pdf/mulfozaat.pdf |archive-date=17 July 2007 }}</ref>

==Leadership of Ahmadiyya==
{{more citations needed section|date=May 2015}}
After the [[Mirza Ghulam Ahmad#Death|death of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad]], Noor-ud-Din was unanimously elected as his first successor. Among his achievements as Caliph were overseeing a satisfactory English translation of the Qur'an, the establishment in 1914 of the first Ahmadiyya Muslim mission in England and the introduction of various newspapers and magazines. After becoming Khalifa, he personally took part in two successful debates at the cities of Rampur and Mansouri. He sent various teams of scholars from Qadian to preach the Ahmadiyya message, to deliver lectures on Islam and hold sessions of religious discussion in numerous cities within India, which proved to be very successful for the community. These teams often included [[Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din]], [[Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad|Mirza Mahmood Ahmad]] and [[Mufti Muhammad Sadiq]].

===The treasury===
{{more citations needed section|date=January 2016}}

As Khalifatul Masih, Noor-ud-Din set up an official treasury (Baitul Maal) to cope with the growing financial requirements of the community. All the funds as well as the [[Zakat]] donations and other voluntary contributions were directed to be collected in the treasury. Various rules and regulations were given to govern its administration.

===Public library===
{{more citations needed section|date=January 2016}}
Noor-ud-Din was himself a man of learning and was fond of books. Soon after he became Khalifa, he set up a public library at Qadian, he donated many books from his own personal library and also gave some financial contributions towards it, followed by many other members of the community. The library was placed under the control of Mirza Mahmood Ahmad.

===Friday prayers leave===
{{more citations needed section|date=January 2016}}
In 1911 the British Government announced that a coronation ceremony will be held in [[Delhi]] to proclaim [[George V of the United Kingdom|George V]], Emperor of India. Noor-ud-Din requested the King that Muslim employees of the Government may be granted a leave of two hours on Friday for the Friday noon service. As a consequence two-hour leave for Muslim Employees was granted.

===Mission in the UK===
When [[Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din]] visited [[London]] in pursuance of his legal practice, Noor-ud-Din advised him to keep three things in view, one of which was to try to get the Mosque in [[Woking]] opened which was originally built by the [[Sultan Shah Jahan, Begum of Bhopal|Begum of Bhopal]], and had been reported to have been locked for some time. Having reached London Kamaludin enquired about the mosque, met with other Muslims and was able to have the Woking Mosque unlocked.

===Internal dissension===
{{More citations needed section|date=January 2016}}
He also dealt with internal dissension, when some high-ranking office bearers of the Ahmadiyya Council disagreed with some of the administrative concepts being implemented and regarding the rights of a Caliph. After his death this group eventually left Qadian and made their headquarters in Lahore setting up their own association known as [[Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islam]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ahmadiyya.org/qadis/contents.htm |title=Refuting the Qadiani beliefs |website=Ahmadiyya.org |access-date=2016-01-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.alislam.org/library/books/Truth-about-the-Split.pdf |title=Truth about the Split |author=Hadrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad Khalifatul Masih II |website=Alislam.org |access-date=2016-01-27}}</ref>
