Islam says that there will come a messiah before the end of time to lead the Islamic community. Qadyanis, aka Ahmadis (Ahamdiyyas), are a Muslim sect, who think that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908) was their messiah. This sect was founded by Ghulam Ahmad in Qadiyan, a place in India, towards the end of the 19th century. They are now divided into two groups: Lahori and international Ahamdi group. Qadyanis preach that the Jihad of the sword, initiated by the duo of Allah and Muhammad in the 7th century Arabia, is now abrogated. They aim to Islamize the world by dawa.
According to Pakistan Ordinance XX, the Ahmadiyya Muslims are not allowed to call themselves "Muslim" or "pose as Muslim"; it is punishable by three years in prison. This Ordinance and the 1974 Amendment in the constitution effectively gave the Pakistani state the copyrights to the term, "Muslim".
