Nowadays, the Supreme Head of Qadianis is 5th Khalifa, Mirza Masroor Ahmad Qadiani, who is not only the Spiritual Head, but also the Administration Head. He directs and guides the activities and all the institutions and associations within the community are under him.
To oversee all the activities in every country, there are two Central bodies known as Anjuman, headed by Nazir A‘la and Tahrik-i-Jadid Anjuman, headed by Wakil A‘la. They oversee the activities in each country and report to the Khalifa.
In January 1906 Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani instituted the Central Ahmadiyya Council to look after the administrative affairs of the qadianis. The first president of this council was Noor al-Din Qadiani, who was appointed by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani.
The head of this Council is called Nazir Ala (Executive Director). The Anjuman consists of various Nazarats (departments) like Treasury, Education, Justice, Properties, Propagation, Pensions, Guidance, Publication, Finance, and General Welfare. A Nazir (Director) heads each of the departments. The head offices of the Council are located in Qadian(India) & Rabwah(Chenab Nagar, Pakistan).
In 1934, Mirza Mahmud Ahmad Qadiani, 2nd Khalifa introduced a scheme called "Tehrik-i-Jadid" (New Scheme). The primary purpose of this scheme is to open new missions and construct worship places around the world.
On December 27th, 1957 Mirza Mahmud Ahmad started the project called Tehrike Waqfe Jadid (The New Dedication). The primary objective of this project was to look after the spiritual upbringing of the members living in the rural communities. The secondary objective was to bring the message of Qadianism to Hindu population of the country.
To help in the spiritual development of the members, the Khalifa appoints Missionaries to each country. These Missionaries are then given a Region(s) by the Amir to oversee. They are independent of the local Qadiani Jamaats and ensure that the local Qadiani Jamaats and members are following the instructions given by the Centre and help the members in their activities.
To further help the members there are sub-organisations within the Qadiani Jamaat which function at International, National and Local levels. On the International and National side, the Head is known as Sadr (president) and they are chosen by the members and appointed by the Khalifa.
The various sub-organisations are:-
All these Auxiliary organisations have Regional Sadrs and they have their own Aamala both regionally and locally.
Qadiani Community has spread all over the world and in each and every country the set up is the same. Mirza Masroor has appointed an Ameer (National President) for every country. The Ameer is the Administration Head of qadianis in that country. The Ameer heads the National Aamila (Executive Body) which consists of National Secretaries of various departments. To help the Ameer, he has appointed Regional Ameers to look after a Region on his behalf. A Region will consist of a number of local Qadiani Jamaats.
In each country a local Qadiani Jamaat will be formed and every member will be attached to the nearest Qadiani Jamaat. The local Qadiani Jamaat will elect a local President - with the approval of the Ameer. The local President will have a local Aamala (executive body) to assist him to run the local Qadiani Jamaat.
An Aamila whether National, Regional, local or a sub-organisation will consist of various Secretaries and will be headed by a President. The Secretaries could include:-
General Secretary; Finance Sec.; Tabligh (Preaching) Sec.; Tarbiyyat (Training) Sec.; Talim (Education) Sec.; Jaidad (Property) Sec.; Ziafa’at (Hospitality) Sec.; etc. These posts are either appointed or through election. No one should desire a position, but when given a post should not refuse it.
