Establishment of unity of God through Khilfat-e- Ahmadiyya

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, founded in 1889 by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, believes in the unity of God and upholds the concept of Khilafat (caliphate) as a means to preserve and promote this unity. According to Ahmadiyya’s belief, Khilafat is a spiritual institution that serves as a divinely ordained system of leadership in Islam after the demise of the Prophet Muhammad.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes that after the Prophet Muhammad, the institution of Khilafat was established to maintain the unity and integrity of the Muslim community. This concept is derived from the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, who emphasized the importance of unity among Muslims. The Ahmadiyya Community views the establishment of Khilafat as a continuation of this divine tradition.

The primary purpose of Khilafat in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is to uphold and propagate the true teachings of Islam, spread the message of peace, and foster unity among Muslims and people of other faiths. The Khalifa, who is elected by the Ahmadiyya community through a process of consultation and divine guidance, acts as a spiritual successor to the Promised Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.

Through Khilafat, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes that the unity of God is demonstrated in several ways:

1. Unity in Belief: The Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Community serves as a unifying figure, guiding the members towards the belief in the oneness of God and promoting the understanding of Islam based on the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.
2. Unity in Purpose: The Ahmadiyya Khilafat encourages its members to work together for the common purpose of spreading the message of Islam, serving humanity, and fostering peace and harmony among people.
3. Unity in Community: The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, under the leadership of Khilafat, promotes a sense of unity and brotherhood among its members worldwide, irrespective of their nationality, race, or ethnicity. This global unity is based on the shared belief in the oneness of God and the teachings of Islam.
4. Unity in Service: The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community places great emphasis on serving humanity. Through various humanitarian and charitable initiatives, the community strives to alleviate the suffering of others, irrespective of their religious or ethnic background. This service is seen as a means to reflect the unity of God by showing compassion and love for all of God’s creation.

In summary, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community establishes the unity of God through Khilafat by promoting unity in belief, purpose, community, and service. The Khalifa serves as a spiritual guide and unifying figure, guiding the community toward the teachings of Islam and fostering peace and harmony among people of different backgrounds.
