It states that Islam foretold a reformer in the latter days who would revive the religion. The Ahmadiyya Muslim community believes their founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, fulfilled this prophecy in 1891 when he claimed to be the promised messiah and mahdi.

They believe their continued progress is blessed by the institution of Khilafat, which provides spiritual leadership.
