Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, India (1835-1908) claimed to be the Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi whose advent in the latter days had been prophesised in the Holy Qur’an and Hadith (Sayings) of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him); as well as in the Scriptures of other great Faiths. A prolific and inspiring writer, he put together more than 80 books to expound Islamic religious teachings and verities and in defence of the beauty of the unadulterated Islam of the magnificence, moral excellence and spiritual ascendancy of Muhammad, the perfect exemplar (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and of the glorious and peerless Holy Qur’an, the perfect book of guidance. He was at the forefront of religious debates and a champion of Islam, prevailing against his religious adversaries, intellectually and spiritually. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad made his claim in 1885 that Allah, the Gracious Almighty had commissioned him and appointed him in fulfilment of the prophecies regarding the second advent of the Messiah and Reformer of the latter days and had vouchsafed him with revelations for many years. Early in 1889 he started accepting pledges of loyalty (‘Ba’iat’) from would-be followers in accordance with the directive from Allah to establish and nurture a community of faithfuls in the true Islamic Tradition. That community came to be known as Ahmadiyya Movement-in-Islam. The name Ahmadiyya was derived from one of the Holy Prophet’s attributes of ceaseless glorification and whole-hearted adoration of Allah which would be predominantly manifested during the time of the Promised Messiah coming in the footsteps of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). So on March 23, 1889 to be precise, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was born and the name appears under different names according to geo-political situation of each country. It is Ahmadiyya Movment-in-Islam in some, Ahmadiyya Muslim Association in others, and Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at in Nigeria. Consequently all over the world on March 23 1989 the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community celebrated 100 years of its existence. After a century, Ahmadiyya had made spectacular progress in the global spread and in number of its adherents. From a handful of followers in a small village in India in 1889, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has grown to over 10 million members and had spread to over 189 countries of the world. According to the Scriptures and human experience, false prophets do not prosper and do not bring forth good fruits. The chequered history of Ahmadiyyat is enough testimony for the truth of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as). There have been numerous historical and descriptive accounts of Ahmadiyyat or true Islam, by Western or Oriental authors as well as other local writers. Notwithstanding their interest, scholarship and diligent researches, their works on the subject matter are tinted understandably by prejudice and narrow perception or inadequate knowledge of the socio-political and religious background and established principles and objectives of Ahmadiyya Movement-in-Islam. Some of the writers could be sympathetic while others could be hostile. So their historical accounts or analysis of Ahmadiyya are bound to suffer significant deficiencies and could, in fact, be misleading. The present work is part of a historical account by the Ahmadiyya Jama’at (community) themselves, not by outsiders or those who seceded from the worldwide community. It represents the Nigeria’s Jamaa’at reports compiled from the returns and submissions of the whole Nigerian Ahmadiyya community. This work is considered the first published edition of the History of Ahmadiyya in Nigeria so that subsequent more comprehensive edition(s) can improve upon the comprehensiveness and coherence of this compilation. Several attempts have been made in the past, especially during the Centenary celebration (1989) to write and publish the history of Ahmadiyya in Nigeira. However, with the centenary celebration of Khilafat-i-Masih (1908 – 2008) a compiled work on the history of Ahmadiyya in Nigeria becomes not only imperative but timely. Hence, the review of the first draft to allign with the current developments.
