Ahmadiyya is an Islamic revival movement founded in 1889 in Qadian, British India, by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad [1]. It originated as an organization aimed at defending and propagating Islam through peaceful means, emphasizing spiritual and moral reformation [1]. The movement emerged in response to religious and social challenges faced by Muslims during the late 19th century [1].

Ahmadiyya claims to represent the revival of Islam in its original form, with Mirza Ghulam Ahmad declaring himself the Promised Messiah and Mahdi [1]. The organization is structured around a caliphate, with its leader, the Khalifatul Masih, serving as the spiritual successor to Ahmad [1]. It operates globally, with its headquarters relocating to London, United Kingdom, in 1984 [1].

The movement is known for its missionary activities, establishing branches in over 200 countries and translating the Quran into numerous languages [1]. Ahmadiyya emphasizes the separation of mosque and state, advocating for religious freedom and interfaith dialogue [1]. Its followers, known as Ahmadis, adhere to the Five Pillars of Islam and the Six Articles of Faith while promoting nonviolence and humanitarian efforts [1].
