About the community

About us
For more than one hundred years the Ahmadiyya Muslim community has been leading a peaceful revival of Islam. From the time it was founded in India in 1889 it has enjoyed an unrivalled record for peace and for its efforts to build cohesive societies.
Established in the UK since 1913, we built London’s first mosque in 1926 (The London Mosque in Putney). We now have one hundred branches across Britain and have opened a number of mosques including the landmark Baitul Futuh mosque in south London, which is the largest in western Europe.

Our Leader
Since the founder’s demise in 1908 we have been led by a series of Caliphs or spiritual leaders, the present being His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad; this form of global leadership is another distinctive feature of this community.
He continues to relay the message of peace to the corners of the earth, a message that has been reflected in action by the community through humanitarian efforts by men, women and the youth of the community.
In fact the members of the community willingly give time and money for relief work even in the remote parts of the globe, to help those in need regardless of creed or colour.

True Islam UK
A campaign to promote true teachings of Islam. To remove misconceptions and and highlight Islam’s teachings of peace.


Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association
MKA UK is a unique, dynamic and vibrant organisation serving not only the needs of its members but British society as a whole. It has over 80 local branches from Glasgow to Cornwall, with a membership of over 6,000. Members are aged between seven and forty and its headquarters are in London. The MKA (MKA UK) takes its inspiration for its charitable initiatives from the example of the Founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He has been referred in the Holy Quran as ‘Mercy for all the Worlds’ and this is reflected in his teachings and practice. He was a source of peace and mercy for all and left behind teachings encouraging his followers to do the same.


Ahmadiyya Muslim Elders Association
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Elders Association works closely with charitable organisations and community groups to promote peace and provide volunteers and funds for the hundreds of organisations who are working towards humanitarian and environmental causes. They are committed to helping others, engaging local communities and working for the common good. On this they have a long history of raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for British Charities.


Voice of Islam
The Voice of Islam is a Digital DAB radio station broadcasting from South London across the Capital and in Greater Manchester. It broadcasts 24 hours a day offering news, views, discussion and an insight into Islam’s perspective on today’s world. Regardless of personal faith or beliefs, the aim is to provide a platform for all individuals to discuss a wide and diverse range of subjects, covering history, philosophy, science, current affairs and so much more. As a largely volunteer-run station, individuals from all walks of life across several countries come together to contribute towards the development of various thought-provoking shows.


Muslim Television Ahmadiyya
MTA International emerged in 1994 with the aim of providing a positive alternative in the broadcasting world. MTA offers quality family viewing right across the globe. It broadcasts internationally in up to eight languages simultaneously and features programs focusing on the different cultures of the world and the environments in which they exist. MTA features many thought-provoking discussions and programs on issues of great relevance to society, with some of MTA’s programs being unmatched in their high level of quality.


Humanity First
Humanity First is a non-political, non-religious and impartial international relief and development agency that focuses on protecting human life and dignity. Humanity First provides aid on the basis of necessity alone, irrespective of caste, creed, color or religion. Our mission is to serve socially disadvantaged individuals and families in the poorer communities and disaster struck areas of the world. We aim to offer sustainable development solutions to society whilst providing and empowering local communities the resources to help themselves. We promote peace and understanding based on mutual respect and acceptance. Through advocacy, emergency responses and efficient programming, HF prioritizes the health and safety of those most vulnerable.


United Against Extremism
The rise of extremism and hatred threatens the peace of our society. In too many instances this has resulted in violence and even murder. Where extremism is carried out in the name of Islam or any religion then it pains us even more, for as Muslims we know that all prophets came with a message of peace. It is therefore critical that we do not let extremists and extremist ideology divide us. This campaign seeks to remove misconceptions and calls on all people of peace, including those of faith and of no faith, to come together and stand in solidarity against all forms of extremism. Standing together, united against extremism, for the sake of peace we pledge to preserve our bonds of friendship, to promote mutual respect and to build a peaceful society for all.


Charity Walk for Peace
The Charity Walk for Peace was founded in the service of humanity, rooted in the call of duty and substantiated by our mission actuated not by consideration of reciprocity or reputation but rather our desire to win the pleasure of God through service to his creation. Our aim is to relieve the suffering of the poor, to promote peace, understanding and good will amongst people of all walks of life. The Charity Walk for Peace is an initiative of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Elders Association – part of the UK’s oldest established Muslim community. Inspired by the tenets of Islam, the Charity Walk for Peace aims to relieve suffering and serve mankind regardless of colour, creed or race. By bringing people together to help others it works to promote peace, engender greater understanding and promote goodwill amongst people from all walks of life.
