Ahmadism

The Ahmadis are the disciples of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. This religious movement derived from the Islam at the 19th century includes/understands two distinct currents, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement ( Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islaman ). The Ahmadiyya Muslim community to date counts 10 million members according to the official figures of the movement, based on a general census of its members. It is present in more than 190 countries. The movement was made the champion of the humanitarian, especially in Africa, by building hospitals, private clinics and dispensaries free, but also of the schools and training centres open to all and free.

A great number of doctors and professors ahmadis voluntarily dedicate their life in these various structures. Certain observers compare the relation of Ahmadiyya with Islam with that of the Christianisme with regard to the Judaïsme, but this point of view is not accepted by Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

The Organization of the Islamic conference declared them not-Moslems in 1973, prohibiting the pilgrimage with to them Mecque. They are persecuted in good number of countries.

At the end of the nineteenth century Mirza Ghulam Ahmad de Qadian proclaimed Mudjaddid, the Messiah announced Mahdi and the Prophète of his time (It should be noted that the two under-sects of Ahmadiyya interpret this last assertion differently). Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to have achieved the prophecy of the return of Jesus. He and its disciples affirmed that this event had been announced by Mahomet the prophet of Islam, like in several other religious writings in the world. In 1889 Mirza Ghulam Ahmad founded his community, at which one gave later the name of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat. Since its beginnings, the goal of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat is the revival of Islam. Shortly after the death of its founder, the movement separated in two sects: the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

The beliefs of the Moslems ahmadi are regarded as being heretics and deviating compared to Islam per many scientists of the Sunnisme and the Chiisme. The traditional Moslems often refer to Ahmadis by the term Qadiani , which literally means “area of Qadian in India”, but which acquired with the years a different connotation. The traditional Moslems affirm that the claim of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as for his prophetic gasoline and Messianic violent one the basic principles eschatologic of the Islamic tradition, for which Mahomet is mentioned as being the last prophet, and that it is Jesus-Christ and nobody other which must return at the end of times). The two Ahmadi sects base their belief on an allegorical interpretation of the references in the Islamic literature to the “return of Jesus”. However the two sects diverge with regard to the finality from prophecy, as indicated below:
