Intro
By 2021, there seem to be less than 500 Ahmadi’s in all of Norway. There is also only 2 Ahmadiyya places of worship, one of which is the largest mosque in all of Scandinavia (see photos in the below). The missionary-in-charge is Shahid Mahmood Kahloon, he has been working in Norway since at least 2008 (see Ahmadiyya Mosque’s around the world), here we have a video of him at the Jalsa-Norway in 2018. He is from Pakistan, and seems to only be able to intelligently speak Urdu. By watching this video and other research, we estimate there to be 500 Ahmadi’s in all of Norway, of which 90% are recently asylum cases. Check their official twitter account herein.
It should be noted, in the 1955 english translation of the Quran (and minor commentary), Ahmadiyya scholars (Maulvi Sher Ali, a companion of MGA), Jinn were called “white-people” from Northern Europe, from the mountainous area (which can only be Finland, Norway and Sweden).
In 1957, a local Nordic man, Truls Bølstad (born in 1941)(also called Noor Ahmad) converted to Ahmadiyya, he was there in 1980 when the 3rd Khalifa opened the Ahmadiyya temple, which was called the first ever mosque in Norway. He was very young at the time and never read any books of MGA. His children are not Ahmadi. By 1979, the Ahmadiyya Movement was claiming to have 1 mission houses and have proposed to build a mosque in the country.
Maulvi Kamal Yousaf was the pioneering missionary to Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Sweden). Ahmadiyya sources claim that he landed in Oslo, Norway on Aug-28-1958 (Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around The World – A Pictorical Presentation. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community; Khilafat Centenary Edition. 2008. ISBN 978-1882494514).
The first Ahmadiyya place of worship was opened in 1980, and in 2011, as is the normal Ahmadiyya method, they built the largest mosque in all of Scandivia, the Ahmadiyya Movement even requested armed police.
In 2024, Ex-Ahmadi’s from Norway have leaked a letter (from 2024) from Mirza Masroor Ahmad to the Ahmadiyya Jamaat, wherein Masroor is demanding 7 million USD for a permanent residence for Masroor when he visits and offices for both Lajna and men, an MTA studio, as well as restrooms for men.
In Jan-2025, in an edition of This Week with Huzoor (10:40 timestamp), the Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa Mirza Masroor Ahmad was asked a question by Ahmadi’s from Norway. They specifically asked Mirza Masroor Ahmad if it was OK to work at defense companies that supplied weapons to Israel. Mirza Masroor Ahmad essentially said that working at those companies was like the eating of pork which a Muslim could do if he had no other food and about to die (the clip is on twitter and tiktok) and thus approved.
In 2026, a group of Ahmadi’s from Norway came to the UK and met the Khalifa.
