Who is the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community?

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is one of the 73 sect’s of Islam. They are Muslims who believe in the Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian. This community was founded in 1889 by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as). It is the fastest growing Islamic community worldwide, and has members in over 200 countries, totalling an estimated 20 millions. The current head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is His Holiness, Mirza Masroor Ahmad (aba). 

Who was the first Ahmadi in Canada?

In Canada, the first known Ahmadi to visit the country was in 1923, Mr. Karam Din. 

Many more Ahmadi’s followed, many of whom came from Pakistan while facing persecution. In 1974 and again in 1984, there was a lot of persecution due to the Pakistan Government legislations, which resulted in a lot of Ahmadi’s coming to Canada. In 1966, the Community was officially registered in Canada as the “Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam (Ont) Inc.” The first missionary who was assigned to Canada was Maulana Syed Mansoor Bashir Sahib.

Ahmadi muslims denounce the usage of a sword or any other form of coercion as a method of propagation of the Islamic faith.

Contrary to the common views that historically Islam was spread by force, Ahmadis maintain that early Muslims DIDN’T take up the sword in order to spread their faith, but rather to preserve the right to practice ALL faiths.

Ahmadi Muslims, like many others, observe a one month period of consecutive fasts during the spiritual time Ramadhan. 

Fasting in Islam begins everywhere at the first appearance of dawn and ends with sunset. During this time muslims are expected to abstain from all food and drink COMPLETELY.
