Ahmadiyya Ahmadiyya (Urdu: احمدیہ
Ahmadiyya), is a movement that arose out of mainstream Islam towards the end of
the 19th century. Originating with the life and teachings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
(1835-1908) from Qadian, in Ahmadis consider themselves Muslims and claim to practice the Islam that was taught and practiced by Muhammad and his companions. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad founded the movement in 1889 and termed it the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat (community) envisioning it to be a revitalization of Islam. The original Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat split into two separate groups[6] after the death of Hakim Noor-ud-Din the first successor of Ghulam Ahmad. They are known respectively as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the smaller Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement for the Propagation of Islam (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islam). These groups vary in their specific interpretations of Ahmad's teachings and claims. They also differ in their views on who should have succeeded Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and how such a successor should be chosen.[6][7] The larger faction of the Ahmadiyya Movement, known as the
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is established in 190 countries of the world. The
International Headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is currently in The smaller faction, known as the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement
is established in 17 countries of the world and out of these 17 countries, is
largely apparent in The Ahmadiyya views on certain beliefs in Islam have been controversial to mainstream Muslims since the Movement’s birth. The majority of Muslims have not accepted Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s claims and do not consider Ahmadis to be Muslims, citing in particular the Ahmadiyya viewpoint on the death and return of Jesus and the Ahmadiyya concept of Jihad and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community view on the finality of Muhammad with particular reference to interpretation of verse [Qur'an 33:40] of the Qur'an. The members of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement are not subject to such criticism as they do not believe in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a Prophet and are more close to traditional mainstream Islam. Ahmadis (particularly the members of the International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community) argue that their beliefs are in accordance with Islam, and using arguments from the Qur'an, Hadith and opinion of Islamic jurists and theologians, challenge the contention of the groups calling them non-Muslims.

History The Ahmadiyya movement claims to represent the latter day renaissance of the religion of Islam. At the end of the 19th century, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian proclaimed himself to be the "Reformer of the age" (Mujaddid), Promised Messiah, Mahdi of the age. (Note that the two sub-sects of the Ahmadiyya interpret this last claim very differently). He claimed to have fulfilled the prophecy of the return of Jesus. He and his followers claimed that his advent was foretold by Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, and also by many other religious scriptures of the world. In 1889, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad laid down the foundation of his community, which was later given the name of "Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at". Since its inception, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at's objective has been the revival of Islam. Soon after the death of the first Caliph, the movement split into two sects over the question of the Finality of Prophethood. The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement affirmed the traditional Islamic interpretation that there could be no new prophet after Muhammad and viewed itself as a reform movement within the broader Ummah.[8] The International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, however, claimed that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad had indeed been a prophet (albeit a "non-law-bearing" one) and that mainstream Muslims who rejected his message were guilty of disbelief. The question of “Khilafat” was also an issue in the split of the Ahmadiyya movement. The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement believes that an "Anjuman" (body of selected people) should be in charge of the Jamaat. The International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, however, believes that Caliphs are appointed by God through voting are in charge of the Jamaat. Some of the first people to convert to the Ahmadiyya movement were highly educated people from secular and religious circles. These included many doctors e.g. Dr. Syed Muhammad Hussain, civil servants like Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan and also from the military, such as Ali Gouhar of the British-Indian Army.[9] The International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has established offices in 190 countries and claims to have a population exceeding tens of millions.[10] The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement has branches in 17 countries.[11] There is no reliable information available regarding the population numbers of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement. Overseas Ahmadiyya missionary activities started as early as
1920's. For many modern nations of the world, the Ahmadiyya movement was their
first contact with the proclaimants from the Muslim world.[12] Ahmadiyya
movement is considered by some historians [13] as one of the precursors to the
African-American Civil Rights Movement in * Current status * The Ahmadiyya population in * In some countries it is an offence for the Ahmadiyya

In * In * In 2008, many Muslims in * Beliefs Ahmadiyya beliefs do not conflict those of Islam in general, including belief in the prophethood of Muhammad, reverence for historical prophets, belief in a single creator God (strong monotheism). They accept the Qur'an as their holy text, face the Kaaba during prayer, accept the authority of Hadiths (reported sayings of and stories about Muhammad) and practice the Sunnah. * Distinct Ahmadiyya beliefs Although the central values of Islam (prayer, charity, fasting, etc.) and the six articles of belief are shared by Muslims and Ahmadis,[23] distinct Ahmadiyya beliefs include the following: That the prophecies concerning the second coming of Jesus were metaphorical in nature and not literal and that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad fulfilled in his person these prophecies and the second advent of Jesus, that he was the promised Mahdi and Messiah.[24] The continuation of divine revelation. Although the Qur'an is final message of God for mankind He is still able to communicate with his chosen individuals in the same way as he is believed always to have done. All of God's attributes are eternal. That Jesus, contrary to mainstream Islamic belief, was crucified and survived the four hours on the cross. He was later revived from a swoon in the tomb.[25] Ahmadis believe that Jesus died in Kashmir of old age whilst seeking the Lost Tribes of Israel.[26] Jesus' remains are believed to be entombed in Kashmir under the name Yuz Asaf. Ahmadis believe that Jesus foretold the coming of Muhammad after him, which Christians have misinterpreted.[27] That Jesus Christ did not bring a new religion or law i.e. was not a law-bearing prophet but was last in the line of Hebrew/Israelite prophets who appeared within the dispensation of Moses akin to that of David, Solomon, Jeremiah, Isaiah etc. That Jihad can only be used to protect against extreme religious persecution.[28] That the “Messiah” and the “Imam Mahdi” are the same person, and that it is through his teachings, influence, his prayers and that of his followers that Islam will defeat the Anti-Christ or Dajjal in a period similar to the period of time it took for nascent Christianity to rise (300 years) and that the Dajjal's power will slowly melt away like the melting of snow, heralding the final victory of Islam and age of peace. That the history of religion from the time of the Biblical Adam is split into seven epochs or ages, parallel to the seven days of the week, with periods for light and darkness. That Mirza Ghulam Ahmad appeared as the Promised Messiah at the sixth epoch heralding the seventh and final age of the mankind,[29] as a day in the estimation of God is like a thousand years of man's reckoning[30] (Quran:22:48). According to Ghulam Ahmad just as the sixth day of the week is reserved for Jumu'ah (congregational prayers) likewise his age is destined for a global gathering or assembly in which the world is to unite under one universal religion which according to him was Islam. The two Ahmadiyya groups have varying beliefs regarding the finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad. The International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes that Muhammad brought prophethood to perfection and was the last law-bearing prophet and the apex of man's spiritual evolution. New prophets can come but they must be subordinate to Muhammad and cannot exceed him in excellence nor alter his teaching or bring any new law or religion.[31] The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement believes that Muhammad is the last of the prophets and no prophet, new or old, can come after him.[32] * Comparison Article of faith Mainstream Islam Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Return of Jesus Differs, but most believe that at the “end of days” Jesus himself will descend from heaven in the flesh.[33] References to the second coming of Jesus among the Muslims are allegorical in that one was to be born and rise as a prophet within the dispensation of Muhammad who by virtue of his similarity, and affinity with Jesus and the similarity between the Jews of Jesus' time and the Muslims of the time of the promised one (The Mahdi) is called by the same name. The prophecy of the second coming was fulfilled in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad[34] References to the second coming of Jesus among the Muslims are allegorical in that one was to be born and rise as a prophet within the dispensation of Muhammad who by virtue of his similarity, and affinity with Jesus and the similarity between the Jews of Jesus' time and the Muslims of the time of the promised one (The Mahdi) is called by the same name. The physical coming of Jesus (an old Israelite prophet) would disqualify Muhammad as the final prophet. The prophecy of the second coming was fulfilled in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.[35] Status of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Differs, but often considered an apostate. Many mainstream Muslims believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was one of the 30 false claimants to prophethood[36] about whom the prophet Muhammad warned Muslims 1400 years ago. Mujaddid (Islamic Reformer) of the 14th Islamic century. The promised Mahdi and the second coming of Jesus. Referred to as a prophet in the metaphorical sense only (as other recognized Islamic saints and sufis are similarly referred to). Not a prophet in the technical meaning of the word.[37] A prophet (with all the qualities of a prophet like Jesus) but subordinate and deputy to the Prophet Muhammad. The Messiah, Imam Mehdi and Mujaddid of the 14th Islamic century and the second coming of Jesus.[38] Who is a Muslim? Professing the Kalima required to become a
Muslim. In Finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad The meaning of “Seal of the Prophets” is that Muhammad is the last of the prophets. However, since Jesus already came as a prophet before Muhammad, he would not be considered the last prophet should he return.[43] The meaning of “Seal of the Prophets” is that Muhammad is the last of the prophets. No prophet, either new or old can come after him.[32] Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was the Mujaddid (reformer) of the 14th century Hijra and not a true prophet.[44] Muhammad brought prophethood to perfection, he sealed prophethood and religious law, thus being the last law-bearing prophet, new prophets can come but they must be subordinate to Muhammad and cannot exceed him in excellence nor alter his teaching or bring any new law or religion.[31] Jesus, Son of Mary Born of a miraculous birth[45] from the virgin, Mary. Did not die on the cross but was transported to heaven,[46] where he lives to return in the flesh to this world shortly before Doomsday.[47] Since Jesus (considered a prophet) came before Muhammad, his return to Earth would not disqualify Muhammad as the “last” prophet. Jesus will come to earth not as a prophet but as a follower of Muhammad and preach the teachings of Muhammad. Similar to International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community belief except that the question of Jesus's virgin birth is not an essential requirement of faith and is left to the individual's personal conviction.[48] Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary. He survived the crucifixion and did not die an accursed death.[49] Instead he travelled east to India in search of the Lost Tribes of Israel.[50] Jesus lived a full life and died on earth, specifically Jesus's tomb lies in Kashmir under the name Yuz Asaf. Armed Jihad Many Muslims believe that Jihad becomes an option when there is no other choice left i.e. in self-defense. Some mainstream Muslims hold the view that there are two different types of Jihad: Jihad Al-Akbar, (considered the greater Jihad) is the personal struggle with one's own soul and Jihad Al-Asghar (considered the lesser Jihad) is the external, physical effort, often implying fighting or war.[citation needed] Jihad primarily means to strive or exert to the fullest. On an ongoing basis this refers to striving against the devil, ones low desires (self) and the peaceful propagation of Islam with special emphasis on spreading the true message of Islam by the pen. In special circumstances Jihad could be an armed struggle but only as a defensive war against extreme persecution.[28] Jihad primarily means to strive or exert to the fullest. On an ongoing basis this refers to striving against the evil of ones low desires (self) and the peaceful propagation of Islam with special emphasis on spreading the true message of Islam by the pen. Claim that as per prophecy, the messiah rendered the concept of violent Jihad unnecessary in modern times. They believe that the answer of hate should be given by love. As their khalifas said that 'if anyone attacks us we must not attack him and should treat them with love and kindness' this is called "Jihaad-e-Akbar" (The Greater Jihad).[51] * Views of mainstream Muslims Orthodox Muslims consider both Ahmadi movements to be heretics and non-Muslims for a number of reasons, chief among them being the question of finality of prophethood,[52] since they believe members of the International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community do not regard the Islamic prophet Muhammad to be the last prophet[53] (the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement does not subscribe to this belief[54]). Ahmadis claim that this is a result of misinterpreting Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's statements referring to his coming “in the spirit of Muhammed”,[54][55] (similar to John the Baptist coming in the spirit and power of Elijah[56]). Both Ahmadi movements believe Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be the Mahdi and promised Messiah,[57] Mainstream Muslims do not accept this claim, and do not believe Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to have fulfilled the prophecies about the Promised Messiah and Mahdi. According to mainstream Muslims Ghulam Ahmad's failiure to establish a perfect worldwide Muslim government and the alleged manner of his death invalidate his claim to be the promised Mahdi and Messiah and hence he is seen as a false prophet. Both Ahmadi movements are considered non-Muslims by the As the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement’s view regarding Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s status as a Prophet is closer to traditional Islamic thought, the Literature published by the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement has found greater acceptability among the Muslim Intelligentsia.[58][59] Some mainstream Muslims group both Ahmadi movements together
and refer to them as "Qadianis", and their beliefs as
"Qadianism"[60] (after the small town of * Relationship with Christians Christian missionaries during the life of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad were actively engaged in debates, prayer duels and written arguments with the Ahmadiyya Movement. The Ahmadiyya Movement considered Christian nations (particularly of the developed world) as being part of the prophesised Dajjal and Gog and Magog. The Ahmadiyya view of death of Jesus has also been a source of ongoing friction with the Christian Church. Abbott Freeland, observed in his book, Islam and The primary significance of the Ahmadiyya Movement lay in
its missionary emphasis. Every Muslim believed that Islam was the only religion
free from error. The Ahmadis made it part of their principles to show the
errors of other religions to their adherents and to proselytize energetically
for Islam. In a sense, the Ahmadis represent the Muslims emerging, religiously
speaking, from the withdrawal that had begun with the arrival of the British,
just as the Muslim League represents the political emergence from that same
withdrawal... Although the sect most attacked by Muslims in Western historians have recorded this effort as one of the features of Ghulam Ahmad's legacy.[64] * Chronology with leaders 23 March 1889: Ahmadiyya movement founded. 1914: Split into two branches, one remaining in Qadian, today known as Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam (Jamaat-i Ahmadiyya), and one being established in Lahore, known as the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement for the Propagation of Islam (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islam).
