{{Ahmadiyya|Distinct views}}
[[Ahmadiyya]] is considered distinct from mainstream Islam. In its writing, the present age has been witness to the evil of man and wrath of God, with war and natural disaster.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://aaiil.org/text/books/others/mirzamasumbeg/propheciespromisedmessiah/propheciespromisedmessiah.pdf |title = Prophecies of the Promised Messiah -- www.aaiil.org |access-date = 27 March 2010 |archive-date = 26 May 2011 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110526074004/http://aaiil.org/text/books/others/mirzamasumbeg/propheciespromisedmessiah/propheciespromisedmessiah.pdf |url-status = dead }}</ref> [[Mirza Ghulam Ahmad|Ghulam Ahmad]] is seen as the [[Second coming|promised Messiah]] and the [[Mahdi]], fulfilling Islamic and Biblical prophecies, as well as scriptures of other religions such as Hinduism. His teaching will establish spiritual reform and establish an age of peace. This will continue for a thousand years, and will unify mankind under one faith.<ref>''The Review of Religions'', January 2009, Vol.104, issue 1. pp. 18–22</ref>

Ahmadis believe that despite harsh and strong opposition and discrimination they will eventually be triumphant and their message vindicated both by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Ahmadis also incorporate the eschatological views from other religions into their doctrine and believe Mirza Ghulam Ahmed falls into this sequence.<ref>HFaith and Philosophy of Islam – Page 180, Shamim Akhter – 2009</ref>
