Note from Editor in Chief: After reviewing the article, I have concluded that the title of the post had indeed been exaggerated! Therefor I have replaced “Breaking News” with “Abstract Analysis”.

There’s been lots of variations from the Worldwide Ahmadiyya community about the numbers of its adherents. The official figures have been so inconsistent and amazingly keep changing. They claim that the numbers are growing and spreading in more then 192 countries of the world! According to the official figures and updates provided by the community’s official sources, the members of the community were more then 200 million in 2003-2005 and now the sources say that the members are around 80 million from 2009-date.

Have a look at the screenshot taken from an official press release issued in 2005. The pdf file of press release is taken from their official website AlIslam.org: (http://www.alislam.org/London-Bombings-Resources/Press-Release-London-Bombings.pdf)

And Now check the screenshot of the Press Release which was issued in 2009 states the members are 80 million! The press release is available at the official website of Ahmadiyya community AlIslam.org (http://www.alislam.org/egazette/press-release/muslim-leader-urges-peaceful-propagation-of-islam/)

Now the difference is not of few hundreds or thousands, but is of more then 120 million!! Where did they vanish? Left the community?? And wait before you call it a typo on part of the official website! That is not all! The leaders of worldwide Ahmadiyya community, Mirza Tahir Ahmad and Mirza Masroor Ahmad have been making conflicting statements about the numbers of adherents of the faith on multiple sources.

See the video and decide yourself! The community may have excellently twisted Qur’anic verses and sayings of Prophet Muhammad, this is the thing which they can’t twist.

    There has never been a census of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community that was published. Whether its 200 million or 80 million all are estimates. 80 million is a conservative estimate. The number of Ahmadis in some of the African countries is so large and diverse it is next to impossible to count them. It can very well be over 200 million. Having said that there is no denying that Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is growing fast in every corner of the world through conversion. There is no breaking news except jahalat (ignorance) of the author of this post!

    Dear All

    This is really funny that this post is only relying on that Ahmadiyya Jamat itself giving two different figures in four years. And its totally exaturated by given “BREAKING NEWS”, I have seen some other video on youtube as well which are trying to decieve people on the figure given on alislam.org i.e. it was 160Million before and nows its TenS million, and some continues obsers took it ten million rather than Tens million and created a video on this.

    Shame on such people who do not like to Put Quran Burning events and its updates on BREAKING NEWS and how the Jamat-e-Defending Quran and Islam against it in Europe and USA.

    Anyway I want to comment that its misleading because

    1. If such thing ever happend Mullah of this country specially Pakistani Mullah would be dancing day and night and there will be holiday of one month specially in Pakistan.

    2. It has to be annouced by the 120 Million rather than Jamat-e-Ahmadiyya. OR Mullah should gather them all to make a combined statement.

    3. Thirdly if people think Jamat Ahmadiyya is one false basis then why they should speak truth every time, Otherwise you are claiming that people of Jamat-e-Ahmadiyya speak truth no matter what, So that mean its True Jammat.

    4. For Calling it BREAKING NEWS you must produce solid evidnce a document written by jamat ahmadiyya may have a mistake or some thing else.

    A Last I would encourage you all to see many video on youtube which says 6Million Muslims joined Christianity, some says even more, Some video explicity against Holy Prophet(PBUH), Islam and Quran Go and defend in proper manner. Otherwise many Ahmadies have only this motive and they are doing for the sake of Love they have with Holy Prophet(PBUH) and Islam.
    Also wath program “The Holy Quran – Truth Reviled” on youtube which was aired on 8th septemeber against the call of Quran Burning to defend the Quran Respect.

    Dear Brother and Sisters,

    Firstly, Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Islam is such diverse and multi-cultural community which is growing everyday. Numbers here would depend on estimate as every coming day numbers increase. Secondly, Ahmadis condemns every non-human and bloodthirsty act because Islam means peace. Ahmadis have organized peaceful protests in the defense of Holy Quran, Islam and our beloved Holy Prophet (PBUH)

    May be an interesting detail: How do these numbers come about? In Africa one King joins the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. He states that he brings a million of ‘his people’ with him. In a way it is correct, however, in order to ‘fully qualify’ to be a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat these one million followers of that particular King need to be taught the teachings of the Jamaat individually. Quite a task. Therefore, as you can imagine, this one million will be ‘followers in different degrees’, until the teachings reach all individuals. When the teaching does reach them individually, some of them will accept it, some may hesitate. And that is how the numbers fluctuate. In any case, Allah knows best.
