Abstract
Abstract Founded in Punjab in 1889 by Mīrzā Ghulām Aḥmad (d. 1908) as a Muslim reformist movement, the Aḥmadiyya attracted attention through Aḥmad’s written and oral debates with missionaries and Hindu scholars. Although many Muslims rejected Aḥmad’s claim to be the awaited Mahdi and Promised Messiah, Aḥmadī usage of modern means, methodology of Quranic exegesis (tafsīr), willingness to engage in religious debates, and support for translation of the Qurʾān into other languages projected their ideas outside of India to Europe, America, and other parts of the world. At the time of their founder’s death in 1908, the Aḥmadiyya was well-established in the subcontinent and had won many followers globally. Aḥmad’s successors continued to broaden Aḥmadi missionary work outside of India, establishing new communities in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the United States, and supporting the Muslim League’s demand for a separated homeland for Indian Muslims. Following exclusion and then declarations of being non-Muslims in Pakistan, the Aḥmadiyya leadership has operated from exile in London, continuing global missionary work and establishing new communities throughout the world, rendering it one of the most vibrant Islamic reformist movements to emerge from the subcontinent.
