Release Date: 15 August 1975 (India) The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the larger community of the two arising from the Ahmadiyya movement founded in 1889 by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (1835-1908). The original movement split into two factions soon after the death of the founder. (The second branch is Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement, Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islam.) It may be noted that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad himself wrote in his famous book, Jesus in India that the Maitreya Buddha was in fact Jesus Christ, who according to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, travelled to India, Kashmir and Tibet (predominantly Buddhist regions at the time) to preach to the local Jews who had migrated there and converted to religions other than that of Judaism (Buddhism, Hinduism etc.).[30] Ghulam Ahmad stated that he was the Reflection of All Prophets and he regarded Siddharta Gautama Buddha as a Prophet. Also, quite similar to the Ahmadi belief in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the Jewish Messiah (stated above), it seems that Jesus acts as a door through which Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is the Jewish Messiah and also the Maitreya. This is because as Jesus was the Jewish Messiah and also the Maitreya according to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad stated explicitly that he had fulfilled the Second Coming of Jesus and in turn, thus, he had also fulfilled the Second Comings of the Jewish Messiah and the Maitreya. The Ahmadi Muslims believe in all the five pillars and articles of faith required of Muslims. They differ from other Muslims mainly with respect to the status of their founder, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, as a Prophet within Islam, and their view that Jesus survived the attempted crucifixion, traveled in search of the remaining lost tribes in the East and died in India. They believe that Jesus is buried in Kashmir. Ahmadi Muslims also believe in the continuation of divine revelation. This applies primarily to the Khalifas whose authority derives from God Himself. Ahmadi Muslims live by a code of peace epitomised by the communitys motto Love for All, Hatred for None. From their origins they inculcated the meaning of Jihad as striving to free oneself of impurities for the pleasure of God. They have condemned all violence in the strongest possible terms, and have nurtured a spirit of allegiance to the country in which they reside. According to some estimates, the country with the largest percentage of Ahmadis is the African republic of Ghana.[37] The country with the most Ahmadis is Pakistan, where there are about 4 million Ahmadis.[38] The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has 2.011 million adherents in the African Republic of Benin[39], 1 million adherents in India [8] 200,000 in Indonesia, 18,000 in Britain[40], 30,000 in Germany and 30,000 in Canada. According to non-Ahmadi estimates, there are 50,000 Ahmadi converts from Orthodox Islam in Mali, 24,000 of the same in the Ivory Coast, 100,000 of the same as Bosnian refugees and 45,000 Albanians of the same.[41] Most Ahmadis are from Asia, mainly the Indo-Pak subcontinent, Bangladesh and Indonesia and a considerably large number of Ahmadis, in the tens or hundreds of millions are from the continent of Africa.[40] In the year 1957, there were 100,000 Ahmadis from the African Republic of Ghana[42] As of 1994, there were 150,000 converts to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community from French-Speaking countries.[43] The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community claims that it is established in over 190 countries[35][44] of the world in all six continents and is the only community of Islam to have translated the Quran into over 118 languages.[45] These include translations in German, Spanish, Swahili, French, Russian, Norwegian, Italian, Dutch, Gurmukhi, Persian, Pashto, Japanese, Tamil and Chinese.
