Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement

The dispute was based on differing interpretations of a verse (33:40) in the Qur'an related to the finality of prophethood, other issues of contention were the Kalima, funeral prayers, and the suitability of the elected Khalifa (2nd successor) Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad (the son of the Founder). The Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islam is led by a President or Amir

The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement believes Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be the Mujaddid (reformer) of the 14th century Hijra and not a true prophet. They believe that his use of the terms ?Nabi? and ?Rasool? when referring to himself was metaphorical only. They support this contention with the help of writings by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad himself wherein he has clarified his use of these terms.
