The following two photographs were printed in the Urdu monthly, ‘Ruh-i Islam’, Lahore, December 1957 issue. It was a magazine run by members of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Jama‘at, and Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi was its honorary editor. They are displayed below along with the Urdu captions that appeared with them. The quality of these photos is not good due to the reproduction standard of the magazine.

The caption above says that this was the audience in a cinema listening to a lecture by the Maulana.

The caption above says that these are four black people and six Dutch people who accepted Islam at the hands of the Maulana.
