Paramaribo, Suriname: Keizerstraat Mosque - Ahmadiyya place of worship built in 1984, replacing a wooden structure from 1932 - the Ahmadiyya is an Islamic messianic movement founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in the 1880s in Colonial India. Ahmad considered himself to be Mahdi announced by the Prophet Mohammed and saw himself as the prophesied return of Jesus Christ, Krishna and Buddha a single person. This religious community, which sees itself as a reform movement of Islam, adheres to the Islamic legal sources - the Koran, Sunnah and Hadith plus the revelations of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Most other Muslims view the Ahmadiyya teachings as heresy and reject them. In Islamic countries, Ahmadiyya communities have been persecuted. In 1914 the Ahmadiyya split into two groups, the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement for the Propagation of Islam and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat.
