Meeting and Field trip with scholars and human rights activists to the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light UK Headquarters

On the 16th of March, 2024, fourteen esteemed professors of religion and religious studies, as well as prominent human rights activists and diplomats, attended a conference with members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light to learn about various aspects of the religion and our global community’s history.

A two-day seminar was held, after which they were invited to visit our headquarters.
They were met by our pope and Imam, the Riser of the Family of Mohammed (From Him is Peace) Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, in the presence of a large crowd of believers from all over the world.

Further matters of the religion and our beliefs were discussed and the questions of the guests were answered by the grace of the Riser Aba Al-Sadiq (From him is Peace), who offered them both his hospitality as well as the opportunity to hear about the religion from him first-hand.
