Introduction to Ansarullah
‘Majlis Ansarullah Australia’ is an auxiliary organisation of the main ‘Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, Australia,’ the latter being a branch of the worldwide Ahmadiyya sect of Islam. All Ahmadis who are forty years of age or over, automatically become members of ‘Ansarullah.’ ‘Majlis Ansarullah,’ like the main body of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community – to which it is subordinate – is a non-political, religious and spiritual organisation. It has nothing to do with politics of any sort. The number of Ahmadis in Australia grew gradually, predominantly as a result of migration from different countries such as Pakistan, Fiji, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Palestine and Africa. ‘Majlis Ansarullah’ came into existence in Australia in the nineteen seventies (1970s).
