Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement
The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement is a Muslim group that emerged in 1914 in Lahore, Pakistan, emphasizing the peaceful teachings of Islam. It distinguishes itself from mainstream Ahmadiyya by focusing on the spiritual and social aspects, promoting the belief that Muhammad is the last prophet while accepting the messianic role of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a spiritual reformer. The movement advocates for rational understanding of religion, interfaith harmony, and social justice, emphasizing education, humanitarian work, and peaceful coexistence among different communities. It values modern scholarship and tries to reconcile faith with scientific progress.
