Ahmadiyya Movement

The Ahmadiyya Movement is a religious reform movement within Islam, founded in the late 19th century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in British India. Ahmad claimed to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, fulfilling Islamic prophecies. The movement emphasizes peace, tolerance, and a rational approach to faith, distinguishing itself by advocating for the belief that Jesus has died a natural death. Ahmadiyya adherents, known as Ahmadis, face persecution in some Muslim-majority countries for their beliefs, as mainstream Muslims do not recognize Ahmad's prophethood. The movement is active globally, promoting interfaith dialogue and humanitarian efforts.
