THE Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of South Australia is hosting a Religious Founders' Day.

Its aim is to dispel myths associated with Muslims.

Program coordinator Z'hur Butt said the function would help break down barriers and demonstrate to the general public "that there are indeed Muslim groups out there who are trying to reach out".

The event is at the Clarence Park Community Centre at 72-74 East Ave, Black Forest this Sunday from 3pm-5pm.



The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (AMC) is a dynamic, reformist and fast growing international movement within Islam. Founded in 1889, AMC spans over 190 countries with membership exceeding tens of millions.

AMC is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long-awaited messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) of Qadian.

Ahmad claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad.

AMC believes that God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and reinstitute morality, justice and peace.

Ahmad’s advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival and moderation.  He divested Islam of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings.
