As is usual Qadiani murabbis started harassing the family, trying to lure them back into Ahmadiyyat. As Ahtesham grew older he gathered more information about the deception of Ahmadiyyat and became an active member of Anti Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam.
Kwa hiyo yeye na familiya yake nzima wakawa wanajumuiya wa jumuiya ya Ahmadiya. Wakahamia katika jumba la ghorofa la Alhaq, ambako wapangaji wengi walikuwa Qadian/Ahmadiya. Lakini baada ya miyaka michache Baba yake Ahteshami akaanza kupata shaka na Alhamdulillah kabla ya kifo chake yeye pamoja na watoto wake walirejea katika Uislamu.
