Aḥmadiyyah

Aḥmadiyyah
Islamic sect, founded in India in 1889 by Mīrzā Ghulām Ahmad.

It holds that Jesus feigned death and resurrection and escaped to India and that jihad is a peaceful battle against nonbelievers. Following the death of Ghulām Aḥmad's successor (1914), the Aḥmadiyyah split. The Qadiani, based in Rabwah, Pak., recognize Ghulām Aḥmad as a prophet; they are zealous missionaries, preaching Aḥmadi beliefs as the one true Islam. A Lahore-based sect regards Ghulām Aḥmad merely as a reformer and seeks to make converts to Islam generally. The term Aḥmadiyyah is also used to describe various Sufi orders (see Sufism), particularly that founded by Aḥmad al-Badawī (d. 1276). One of the most popular orders in Egypt, it has branches throughout the Islamic world.
