Abstract

This study examines the development and influence of the Ahmadiyya community in the context of the modern Western world, highlighting the social, media, and public diplomacy roles played by this community. Using a desk study method, this study examines academic literature, human rights reports, internal Ahmadiyya publications, and relevant media sources to understand how this movement constructs an image of peaceful and moderate Islam. The research findings indicate that the Ahmadiyya community has successfully utilized global media outlets such as Muslim Television Ahmadiyya (MTA), religious literacy networks, and the social campaign "Love for All, Hatred for None" as instruments of public education and religious diplomacy. In the Western world, the Ahmadiyya community has emerged as an agent of interfaith dialogue, a promoter of tolerance, and an active actor in humanitarian activities, thus contributing to the construction of an inclusive Islamic discourse. However, this influence has rarely been comprehensively examined in academic studies, particularly from a contemporary social, religious, and Islamic educational perspective. This study emphasizes the importance of viewing the Ahmadiyya as a model of minority religiosity relevant to strengthening the values ​​of moderation and religious literacy in modern Western society.
