AB - In this journal, the author aims to introduce the movements that occurred in the process of Islam's modernization. The minority Islamic scholars, mostly from India-Pakistan backgrounds in the rationalist academic disciplines, caused Islamic regeneration movements against taqlid in the 19th and 20th centuries after the Mughal Empire. The Mahdī movement, the Messianic movement in Islam, was reevaluated since the Ahmadiyya sect was condemned as outsiders or heretics owing to the political situation of the separation of India and Pakistan. The author firstly introduced the Ahmadiyaa by comparing the discursive debates of several scholars on the modern influence and the Islamic theological stance, and then pointed out theological diversity in Islam and the global growth of this sect through "Pen-Jihad." Amid India's independence from British colonization, the Pakistani government's rejection of murtad(apostates) was harshly done against the Ahmadiyya, also known as the Punjab disturbances, in 1953. Islamic scholars who attempted to introduce western ideas in the process of Islamic modernization, brought a dynamic interpretation of Sunnah through new movements of Islam under the western influence upon West-Asia. In this process, the author elaborates on representative scholars' ideas who contributed to the renewal movement of Islam and also explains the historical circumstances of Ahmadiyyat's global growth, referring to the writings of Wilfred Cantwell Smith on the time of the India-Pakistan split and Islamic revival in the 20th century. The author also points out the comparison between Islamism and the rationalistic philosophy of Islam according to the Canadian scholar Andrew Rippin and the Swiss theologian Hans KÜng. In developing this article, the author identifies the Ahmadiyaat movement in connection with Islamic rationalism, the reform movement, and the flow of modernism. The historian Nile Green's ideas in Terrains of Exchange: Religious Economies of Global Islam provide a framework to account for the birth of the Ahmadiyyat in this article.
