The answer

The Qadiani movement was founded in 1900 CE in India with the support of British colonialism, aiming to distance Muslims from Jihad. Its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad al-Qadiani (1839 - 1908 CE), claimed prophethood and Mahdi-hood, asserting that his prophethood was superior to that of Muhammad, peace be upon him, and that Gabriel used to descend upon him. Qadianis believe their book is "Al-Kitab Al-Mubin" (The Clear Book), that Qadian is superior to Mecca and Medina, and they have abolished the obligation of Jihad, considering non-Qadianis as disbelievers. Islamic Fiqh councils have issued fatwas declaring this sect to be disbelievers and outside the fold of Islam.
