Abstract

The Ahmadiyya and Mahdiyya are contemporary Islamic messianic movements emerging in the late nineteenth century during a period of general Muslim discontent. This study aims to see how the respective leaders of these two movements, Ghulam Ahmad and Muhammad Ahmad, sought to legitimize their claims while addressing the problems they perceived to exist in their societies. It is found that the originality and magnitude of Ghulam Ahmad's messianic message, which aimed to address the claims of Christian missionaries as well as other religious groups by drawing on the example of the prophet Jesus for legitimacy and the abolishment of jihad, made the movement relatively inflexible doctrinally, but with focus on proselytization gained greater global influence. Muhammad Ahmad's message and practice, by contrast, though highly unorthodox in its treatment of prophetic hadith, emulated to a greater degree the example of the prophet Muhammad, was more humble in its doctrinal claims, and achieved relatively greater domestic popularity and doctrinal flexibility, paving the way for eventual political power in Sudan.

Özet

Ahmediyye ve Mehdiyye, on dokuzuncu yüzyılın sonlarında Müslümanların genel olarak sıkıntılı olduğu bir dönemde ortaya çıkmış modern Mesiyanik hareketlerdir. Bu çalışma, bu iki hareketin liderleri olan Gulam Ahmed ve Muhammed Ahmed'in kendi toplumlarında var kabul ettikleri problemleri irdelerken kendi iddialarına nasıl meşruiyet oluşturduklarını incelemektedir. Gulam Ahmed'in, meşruiyet için Hz. İsa'nın örnekliğinden ve cihadın ilga edilmesinden yararlanarak Hristiyan misyonerlerin ve diğer dini grupların iddialarını ele almayı amaçlayan Mesiyanik mesajının orijinalliği ve önemi, aynı zamanda hareketi doktriner olarak sertleştirdi. Ancak bunu yaparken din değiştirmenin daha büyük global etkisine vurgu yapmıştır. Buna karşılık Muhammed Ahmed'in mesajı ve pratiği, hadislere yaklaşımı ana çizginin oldukça dışında olsa da, dokrtin iddialarında daha mütevaziydi. Bu nedenle lokal düzeyde daha popüler ve doktriner olarak daha yumuşak oldu. Nihayetinde Sudan'da politik bir güç olma imkanı buldu.
