Ahmadiyya by country |
---|
Ahmadiyya in Israel (Hebrew: אחמדים בישראל; Arabic: أحمدية في إسرائيل) is a small Ahmadi community in Israel. The community was first established in the region in the 1920s in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Ahmadi branch can be openly practiced.[1] As such, Kababir, a neighbourhood on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel, acts as the Middle East headquarters of the community.[2][3] It is unknown how many Israeli Ahmadis there are, but it is estimated there are about 2,200 Ahmadis in Kababir alone.[4]
