- 1. Ahmadi is a term that primarily refers to the followers of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, an Islamic movement founded in the late 19th century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in British India. Ahmad claimed to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, a reformer intended to revive the true teachings of Islam and unite its followers under the umbrella of a peaceful and progressive interpretation of the faith. Ahmadi Muslims emphasize the importance of love, peace, and tolerance, actively promoting interfaith dialogue and humanitarian efforts across the globe. The community faced significant challenges, including persecution and discrimination in various countries, particularly in Pakistan, where Ahmadis are officially deemed non-Muslims under the law. Despite these challenges, Ahmadis remain steadfast in their beliefs, promoting a message of understanding and compassion, advocating for human rights, and engaging in social service initiatives, thereby contributing positively to society while continuing to uphold their religious identity.
