By the grace of Almighty Allah, after putting efforts for more than a decade,  the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Germany (AMJ) has been granted the status of a religious body which can now enjoy the public rights on same footing as enjoyed by the Christians and the Jews.
Ahmadiyya, probably is the first  to be granted such status amongst the Muslim organisations present in Germany. Currently status has been awarded in state of Hessen with the hope to have the same in whole of Germany.
It is an historic moment for the whole community.

Die Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, die weltweit größte Reformbewegung innerhalb des Islam mit mehreren zehn Millionen Anhängern, hat als bisher einzige in Deutschland ansässige muslimische Religionsgemeinschaft den Status der ‘Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts’ zuerkannt bekommen. Um dieses historische Ereignis vorzustellen, lädt die Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat am Donnerstag, den 13.

The May 28, 2010 attack in Lahore, Pakistan lasted for hours, complete with grenade and suicide bomb explosions. More than 60 people were killed, including Khan’s father and several friends.
