Assalamu-alaikum,
I just finished a book by a man named Maulana Muhammad Ali. Apparently, he belonged to a group(?) called Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at Islam, whose , leader, Harzat Mirza Ghulam Ahmed, claimed to be "mujjadid" and the "promised messiah".
I wasn't aware Islam had a messiah(?). Where does this group and individual stand in traditional Islam? Is he accepted? Has anyone heard of this?
