ASC Seminar: Missionary Islam and Humanitarian Engagement: The Case of the Ahmadiyya Movement
Donderdag 25 Februari 2016 15:30 - 17:00

The religious movement of the Ahmadiyya was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, an Indian Muslim scholar (1835-1908). It reached West Africa in the 1920s, but its importance in the West African public space only grew in the 1990s.  Its followers combine the will for the restoration of true Islam with active proselytism - resembling Christian evangelical media campaigns - and have profound veneration for their spiritual leader, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who manages the international community on a centralized basis from London.
