The Promised Messiah & Mahdias

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908)

The Promised Messiahas and Imam al-Mahdi, the

Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

azrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, founder of

the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, claimed

to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi whose

advent was awaited under different names and titles by the

adherents of various religions.

Under divine guidance, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam

Ahmadas made the revolutionary disclosure that there was

to appear only one such Reformer, whose mission was to

ultimately bring mankind into the fold of Islam. His

advent, he declared, would finally usher a golden era of

one universal religion which man had dreamt of and

yearned for. He divested Muslims of fanatical beliefs and

practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and

essential teachings. He also recognized the noble teachings

of the great religious founders and explained how such

teachings converged into the one true Islam.

Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaba

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (born 1950)

The Fifth Khalifa of the Promised Messiahas and

Current Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim

Community

azrat Mirza Masroor Ahmadaba is the

head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim

Community. He is the fifth successor and

great grandson of the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza

Ghulam Ahmadas. Prior to his being elected as Khalifa,

he accumulated an impressive record of humanitarian

service, including voluntarily working in Africa as a

secondary school principal for a number of years.

The Khalifa is particularly dedicated to ensure that

Islam is properly understood as a religion of peace

throughout the world. Through his sermons, lectures,

books and personal meetings, he has continually advocat-

ed for the worship of God Almighty, service to humanity,

universal human rights, a just society and separation of

religion and state.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, under the leadership of its holy founder, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, held its first conven-tion on December 27, 1891 in Qadian, India. Approximately 75 people attended the event. For over a century since then, the Community has held its Annual Convention, or Jalsa Salana, in numerous countries around the world. Tens of thousands of Community members gather at these conventions at various times throughout the year. The principle aims of the Annual Convention are to facilitate greater spiritual awareness among Community members, strengthen ties, and promote peace. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, emphasized the vital importance of the Annual Convention: “You must not rank this convention in the same league as other ordinary human assemblies.”

The Words of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad The Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi

“The primary purpose of this Convention is to enable every sincere individual to personally experience religious benefits; They may enhance their knowledge and – due to their being blessed and enabled by Allah, the Exalted – their perception (of Allah) may progress. Among its secondary benefits is that this congregational meeting together will promote mutual introduction among all brothers, and it will strengthen the fraternal ties within this Community...”
