It originated with the life and teachings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835\u20131908), who claimed to have been divinely appointed as both the promised Mahdi (Guided One) and Messiah expected by Muslims to appear towards the end times and bring about, by peaceful means, the final triumph of Islam; as well as to embody, in this capacity, the expected eschatological figure of other major religious traditions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
