The Ahmadiyya movement is a small but growing religious group in Morocco with only about five hundred adherents as of 2013.[1]

History

The Ahmadiyya was officially established in Morocco in the early 1990s.[2] the number of adherents of this Islamic group has increased over the years, but very slowly. In 2013, there have been an estimated 500 Ahmadis in Morocco,[1] although the number may be much higher since some Ahmadis prefer not to openly reveal their adherence to the movement to protect themselves from persecution.[2]

Organizations

Moroccan Ahmadis do not have an official place for them to practice or teach their faith,[2] although an increasing number of schools are reportedly owned by Ahmadis, especially in the cities of Salé, Casablanca, Meknes and Tangier.[1]
