The term "Qadiani" refers to members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a religious movement founded in the late 19th century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in Qadian, India. Ahmad claimed to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, which distinguishes Ahmadis from mainstream Islam. The community emphasizes peace, tolerance, and the importance of education. Ahmadis believe in the teachings of the Quran and follow the five pillars of Islam, but they interpret certain Islamic concepts differently. Due to their beliefs, Ahmadis often face persecution in some Muslim-majority countries, where they are considered non-Muslims by certain groups.
