### Its timeline
- 1889 CE Ghulam Ahmad accepts the first pledge of allegiance at Ludhiana.
- 1908 CE He dies; the caliphate is established, and the community splits in 1914 over whether he was a prophet or a reformer.
- 1920s–present Extensive missionary work in West Africa, where Ahmadi schools and hospitals are substantial institutions.
- 1953 CE Anti-Ahmadi riots in Lahore; hundreds killed.
- <strong>1974 CE</strong> Pakistan's parliament amends the constitution to declare Ahmadis non-Muslims.
- <strong>1984 CE</strong> Ordinance XX makes it a criminal offence in Pakistan for Ahmadis to call themselves Muslim, to call their places of worship mosques, to use the Islamic greeting or to recite the call to prayer. Convictions carry prison terms.
- 1984 CE The fourth caliph leaves Pakistan for London; the caliphate has been based in the UK since.
- 2010 CE Coordinated attacks on two Ahmadi mosques in Lahore kill 94 people.
- 2016–present Continued legal disability, mob violence and destruction of Ahmadi graves in Pakistan; Ahmadis are effectively disenfranchised, since voting requires signing a declaration denouncing their founder.
