Ahmadiyya Movement In Islam in Dayton is part of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a movement within Islam founded in 1889 by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. The community emphasizes peace, love, justice, the sanctity of life, spiritual renewal, and education, while promoting nonviolence, moral reform, and reverence for major religious figures across world traditions. Its Dayton presence reflects a religious identity rooted in Islamic devotion, intellectual engagement, and continuity with a global community shaped by the institution of khilafat.
