nature, hence a universal scripture was
needed.
We believe that in the Holy Qur’an, Allah
(God) the Almighty preserves all those
teachings that are of a permanent nature and
incorporates additional teachings of a
universal nature. So the world is presented
with a divine scripture which satisfies the
needs of all people and for all times.
Through its network of printing presses, vast
amounts of Islamic literature is being produced and
distributed globally.

WHAT IS AHMADIYYAT ?
Ahmadiyyat is Islam in its pristine purity and not
a new religion.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community was
founded in 1889 by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam
Ahmad (1835-1908). He was born in a small
village called Qadian in India. He established
this community under divine guidance with
the objective of reviving the lost Islamic
high moral and spiritual values. The
community advocates peace, mutual respect,
love and understanding among the
followers of various faiths.
The Holy founder of the Ahmadiyya
Muslim community claimed that due to his
constant obedience and love for the Holy
Prophet Muhammad(saw) , the chief of all
prophets, he was chosen by Allah the
Almighty as the reformer and promised
Messiah of this age.
* How will you be when the son of Mary will
descend among you and will be your leader from
among you? (Bukhari Kitabul Anbiya)...
* Jesus also indicated that the signs for the time of
his second coming would be earthquakes, plagues,
epidermics, wars and general tribulations.
(The Holy Bible; Mathew CH:24)...
The community regards the second advent of Jesus
(Isaas) as a figure of speech. Since Jesus is dead
like all prophets, it is understood someone
resembling the personality and characteristics of
Jesus will come at a time when morality and
religious behaviour will be akin to Jesus’ time. The
Holy Prophet Muhammad(saw) also foretold the
coming of the Imaam-Mahdi (The divinely guided
leader) who would be chosen by Allah for the
guidance and reformation of mankind.
All the above prophecies were fulfilled in the
person of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) who
was the perfect servant of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad(saw).
Allah (God) the Almighty had gracefully chosen
him as the person who was to fulfill the long
awaited promise of the second coming of Jesus
(Isaas) son of Mary.
He claimed that Allah the Almighty had informed
him that he was chosen to represent all such
latter-day appearances of spiritual guides such as
Jesus Christ among the Christians, Isa ibn maryam
and the Imaam-Mahdi among the Muslims,
Bhudha among the Bhudhists and Krishna among
the Hindus. By this, God intended to finally unite
Mankind and all the God loving people.
The community strives to revive peoples’ faith in
Allah (God); by peacefully propagating the spiritual
beauties and excellencies of Islam, to infuse
hope, faith and love in the hearts of all
people. To inculcate among all people of
the world the spirit of tolerance, goodwill
and a feeling of true brotherhood.
Hence the Motto of the community;
“LOVE FOR ALL HATRED FOR
NONE”
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community strictly
follows and adheres to the original religion
Islam as taught and practised by the Holy
Prophet Muhammad(saw) .
The cardinal doctrine of the Ahmadiyya
Muslim community is the unity of the
Godhead - There is none worthy of worship
except Allah, and Muhammad (saw) is His prophet
and Messenger.
Islam helps us to establish a permanent
relationship with God and to realise our
responsibility in serving humanity without
any discrimination.
We believe that all major religions were true
originally and their founders were noble
prophets of God. But with the lapse of time,
their truth was either forgotten or became
corrupted with interpolations. Some of
these teachings were of a local or temporary
