The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic peace-loving Muslim community that was founded in 1889 in Qadian, India by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who claimed to be the Promised Messiah and Imam Al-Mahdi.

The community is spread across 204 countries and is also one of the oldest established Muslim communities in the UK, established in 1913. It is led by its Khalifa (spiritual leader), Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who is based in London and guides the community’s global efforts for peace.

It has faced severe persecution in some countries, particularly Pakistan (where it is targeted by federal laws) and Indonesia, and this has now spread to some other countries as well.

The community has a strong focus on education, integration, human rights, peace and service to mankind and lives by its motto of ‘Love For All Hatred For None’.
