=== Ahmadiyyat ===
{{main|Ahmadiyya in the United Kingdom}}
The [[Ahmadiyya]] Muslim Community (AMC) established itself in the UK in 1912 and is thus the longest-standing Muslim community in the UK. The UK and worldwide headquarters of the AMC are currently situated on the grounds of 'The Blessed Mosque' [[Mubarak Mosque (Tilford)|(Masjid Mubarak)]], inaugurated on 17 May 2019 by [[Mirza Masroor Ahmad]], the fifth [[Ahmadiyya Caliphate|caliph]] of the [[Ahmadiyya|Ahmadiyya movement]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pressahmadiyya.com/press-releases/2019/05/head-ahmadiyya-muslim-community-opens-new-central-mosque-islamabad-tilford-uk/|title=Head Of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Opens New Central Mosque In Islamabad, Tilford, UK|date=19 May 2019|website=Press & Media Office|access-date=4 April 2020}}</ref> in Tilford, Surrey. The AMC also has the largest Muslim youth organisation, the [[Khuddam-ul Ahmadiyya|Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association]] (Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya) in the UK (membership of 7,500) and the largest Muslim women's organisation, the [[Lajna Ima'illah|Ahmadiyya Muslim Women's Association]] ({{transliteration|ar|Lajna Ima'illah}}), in the UK (membership of 10,000).<ref>{{cite book|title=Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around The World - A Pictorical Presentation|date=2008|publisher=Ahmadiyya Muslim Community; Khilafat Centenary Edition|isbn=978-1882494514|page=253}}</ref>
 
===Sectarian relations===
There has also been discrimination by orthodox Sunni Muslims against [[Ahmadiyya|Ahmadi Muslims]]. In 2014, on the 125 anniversary of the establishment of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Community published an advertisement in the ''Luton on Sunday''. Following a written complaint from Dr Fiaz Hussain, co-ordinator of the Preservation of Finality of Prophethood Forum (PFPF), stating that the Ahmadiyya community should not be called "Muslim" because it rejected some of the basic principles of Islam,<ref>{{cite news|author=Asif Arif|title=Lettre ouverte aux éditeurs du "Luton on Sunday"|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.fr/asif-arif/lettre-ouverte-aux-editeurs-du-luton-on-sunday_b_5109357.html|work=[[Huffington Post]] (France)|date=8 April 2014|access-date=10 April 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140414060009/http://www.huffingtonpost.fr/asif-arif/lettre-ouverte-aux-editeurs-du-luton-on-sunday_b_5109357.html|archive-date=14 April 2014}}</ref> the paper received a delegation of 'Community Leaders' and shortly afterwards printed an apology disassociating itself from the Ahmadiyya advertisement.<ref>{{Cite web|title=UK: 'Luton on Sunday' newspaper bows to Luton Taliban|date=8 April 2014|work=Ahmadiyya Times|url=http://ahmadiyyatimes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/uk-luton-on-sunday-newspaper-bows-to.html|access-date=10 April 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20140412134115/http://ahmadiyyatimes.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/uk-luton-on-sunday-newspaper-bows-to.html|archive-date=12 April 2014}}</ref> [[Tell MAMA UK|Tell MAMA]] responded by identifying attempts to intimidate or discriminate against Ahmadiyya Muslims "as anti-Muslim in nature".<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Luton on Sunday 'Shuffle' and Impacts on anti-Muslim hate|date=9 April 2014|work=[[Tell Mama]]|url=http://tellmamauk.org/the-luton-on-sunday-shuffle-and-impacts-on-anti-muslim-hate/|access-date=10 April 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413130030/http://tellmamauk.org/the-luton-on-sunday-shuffle-and-impacts-on-anti-muslim-hate/|archive-date=13 April 2014}}</ref>
