What is the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community?
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, fast-growing international revival movement within Islam. Founded in 1889, it spans over 210 countries with membership exceeding tens of millions.

Ahmadiyya Event Calendar 2023
The Ahmadiyya Event Calendar 2023 is filled with many events and festivals that are organized throughout the year. The calendar starts with the celebration of the New Year on January 1, which is followed by the annual Jalsa Salana (Annual Convention) in the UK in July. This convention is the largest annual Islamic gathering in the West, attracting thousands of people from around the world. Other notable events in the calendar include:
Eid-ul-Adha
Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, will be celebrated on July 20, 2023. This festival commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) as an act of obedience to Allah.
Eid-ul-Fitr
Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on May 16, 2023. This festival marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast from dawn to dusk. Eid-ul-Fitr is a time for celebration and thanksgiving, as well as for giving to the poor and needy.
Muslims for Peace Symposium
The Muslims for Peace Symposium will be held on September 23, 2023. This symposium brings together scholars, politicians, and religious leaders to discuss the importance of peace-building efforts in the world.

As a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I have attended many of these events and festivals over the years. The most memorable one for me was the Jalsa Salana in the UK. It was an incredible experience to see so many people from different parts of the world come together to celebrate their faith and renew their commitment to serving humanity. I have also attended several Eid celebrations, which are always a joyous occasion. It is heartwarming to see families come together to celebrate and share their blessings with others.
