# Ahmadiyya Association
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK is the British branch of a global Islamic revival movement founded in India in 1889. Operating under the motto "Love For All, Hatred For None," the organisation serves Muslims and the broader British public through faith-based education, community engagement and interfaith dialogue.
The community provides spiritual leadership guided by His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the fifth Khalifah (Caliph) of the Ahmadiyya movement. Members follow the teachings of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, whom Ahmadis believe to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi prophesied in Islamic tradition.
Beyond religious practice, the Ahmadiyya Association distinguishes itself through active peace promotion and social welfare initiatives. The organisation hosts peace symposiums bringing together community leaders and residents for dialogue on global harmony. They've established practical support programmes including subsidised cooking resources for families struggling with cost-of-living challenges, and partnerships with foodbanks. The community also maintains significant historical landmarks, including the first purpose-built mosque in London.
The organisation actively pursues interfaith cooperation, demonstrated through community peace dinners uniting residents of different backgrounds. Their published works, including addresses on world peace by their leader, reflect commitment to contemporary social issues alongside traditional Islamic scholarship.
The Ahmadiyya Association particularly serves British Muslims seeking progressive Islamic theology emphasising peace and social responsibility, whilst also welcoming engagement from non-Muslims interested in interfaith understanding and community cohesion.
