Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam or Majlis-e-Ah'rãr-e-Islam (Urdu: مجلس احرارلأسلام), also known in short as Ahrar, was a conservative Sunni Muslim political party in the Indian subcontinent during the British Raj, prior to the Partition of India. The party was associated with opposition to Muhammad Ali Jinnah and establishment of an independent Pakistan as well as persecution of the Ahmadiyya community.[3]
History and activities
Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam was created before the Partition of India in support of a unified Muslim community in India and opposed the activities of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. In Kashmir it opposed the welfare activities of Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad, the second leader of the Ahmadiyya community. After the partition it became active in Lahore.
