  • 35 Ahmadiyya
    Malaysian Journal of International Relations, Volume 6, 2018, 35-46 ISSN 2289-5043 (Print); ISSN 2600-8181 (Online) AHMADIYYA: GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF A PERSECUTED COMMUNITY Abdul Rashid Moten ABSTRACT Ahmadiyya, a group, founded in 19th century India, has suffered fierce persecution in various parts of the Muslim world where governments have declared them to be non-Muslims. Despite opposition from mainstream Muslims, the movement continued its proselytising efforts and currently boasts millions of followers worldwide. Based on the documentary sources and other scholarly writings, this paper judges the claims made by the movement's founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, analyses the consequences of the claims, and examines their proselytizing strategies. This paper found that the claims made by Mirza were not in accordance with the belief of mainstream Muslims, which led to their persecution. The reasons for their success in recruiting millions of members worldwide is to be found in their philanthropic activities, avoidance of violence and pursuit of peace inherent in their doctrine of jihad, exerting in the way of God, not by the sword but by the pen. Keywords: Ahmadiyya, jihad, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Pakistan, philanthropy INTRODUCTION The Qur’an categorically mentions that Muhammad is the last in the line of the Prophets and that no prophet will follow him. Yet, there arose several individuals who claimed prophethood in Islam. Among the first to claim Prophecy was Musailama al-Kazzab, followed by many others including Mirza Hussein Ali Nuri who took the name Bahaullah (glory of God) and formed a new religion, the Bahai faith. Many false prophets continued to raise their heads occasionally but failed to make much impact until the ascendance of the non-Muslim intellectual, economic and political forces particularly in the 19th century A.D.

  • Jamia-Graduation-July-2012.Pdf
    16 July 2012 PRESS RELEASE FIRST EVER CONVOCATION CEREMONY OF JAMIA AHMADIYYA CANADA TAKES PLACE IN HISTORIC EVENT 40 Graduates receive their Degrees from Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat is pleased to announce that on 11 July 2012, the first Convocation Ceremony of Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada took place at the newly built Tahir Hall in Peace Village. The ceremony included graduates from the Classes of 2010, 2011 and 2012 and was presided over by the World Head and Fifth Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad. After opening remarks from Principal Salim Akhtar and a report by Maulana Hadi Ali Chaudhry, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad presented 40 graduates with their ‘Shahid Degree’ Certificates and thus they were all enrolled as official Missionaries of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat. One of the newly qualified Missionaries, Ata‐ul‐Munem, was on assignment abroad and so Maulana Abdul Majid Tahir, the Additional Wakil‐ul‐Tabshir, accepted the award on his behalf. Following the presentation, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad delivered an inspiring address, in which he reminded the graduates of their vast responsibilities. His Holiness counselled them to never think their education was complete. His Holiness said: “Always remember that to get a degree is not enough but is in fact only the very first and small step. You have many more steps to climb. Always remember that the key to your success is your humility. You should not just be the type of Missionary who guides or lectures others, but in fact you should make sure that every point that you try to inculcate in others has already been developed within yourself.” Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad instructed the graduates that they should never consider that they were working a standard nine‐to‐five job.

    The All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community—written evidence (FEO0041) House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee Inquiry into Freedom of Expression Online This submission focuses on the following inquiry questions: Q1. Is freedom of expression under threat online? If so, how does this impact individuals differently, and why? Are there differences between exercising the freedom of expression online versus offline? Q4. Should online platforms be under a legal duty to protect freedom of expression? 1. Freedom of speech is under threat for religious communities such as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (the “Community”) that is being targeted to deny it the right to self-identify as a Muslim community and its members (“Ahmadis”) to self-identify as Muslims. 2. This has a devastating effect on the Community in that it denies its members access to online information about its own beliefs and teachings, and it prevents it from sharing and discussing its views and beliefs with others. This results in a prevalence of misinformation online that remains unchallenged and uncorrected, as a result of which members of the Community are branded as disbelievers and traitors ‘liable to be killed’ as defined by extremist clerics, especially in Pakistan. 3. In particular the Pakistani State is engaging in a concerted hate campaign against the Community, a key strand of which is targeting the Community’s online presence. This campaign is aimed at delegitimising the existence of the Community, perpetuating its social isolation and normalizing hatred against its members both within and outside of Pakistan. These recent actions, in 2020, include attempts to pressure social media and other technology companies outside Pakistan to (i) prevent the Community from self-identifying as a Muslim community and its members as Muslims; and (ii) censor the Community’s legitimate online content.

    He is Allah, and there is no God beside Him, the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace, the Bestower of Security, the Protector, the Mighty, the Subduer, the Exalted. Holy is Allah far above that which they associate with Him. More Info Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be for- given. Whoever draws close to me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoev- er draws close to me the by length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him running. Whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any idols with me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2687) More Info Iqtebas Saying of The Promised Messiah as Our paradise lies in our God. Our highest delight is in our God for we have seen Him and found ever- beauty in Him. This wealth is worth procuring though one might have to lay down one’s life to procure it. This ruby is worth purchasing though one may have to lose oneself to acquire it. O ye, who are deprived! Hasten to this fountain as it will satiate you.
