Encyclopedia: Ahmadi

Ahmadis (Urdu: احمدیہ‎ Ahmadiyya), is the collective name given to the two distinct groups (The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement) comprising of followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (d. 1908) from Qadian, in Punjab, India. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a Muslim who claimed to have fulfilled Christian and Islamic prophecies, and proclaimed himself the promised Messiah, the Mahdi, as well as the Mujaddid (Reformer/Renewer) of the 14th Islamic century.^[1] Ahmadis consider themselves Muslims, and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad termed his movement the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat (community) envisioning it to be a revitalization of Islam.

The original Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat split into two separate groups after Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's death, known respectively as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement for the Propagation of Islam (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islam). These groups vary in their specific interpretations of Ahmad's teachings and claims. They also differ in their views on who should have succeeded Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, and how such a successor should be chosen.
