About Ahmadiyya
A movement founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in Qadian in British India. Adherents regard him as the promised messiah and mahdi. Its members face legal restrictions in Pakistan, where they are not recognized as Muslims under a 1974 constitutional amendment. The community runs an extensive missionary and translation network worldwide.
