  • 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.

    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.
