Ahmadiyya is an Islamic branch in Denmark, under the spiritual leadership of the caliph in London. Kamal Yousuf, an Ahmadi Muslim missionary, who was appointed for disseminating Ahmadiyya teachings in Scandinavia,[1] first toured Denmark in 1956.[2] The earliest Danes to have converted to the movement were from the 1950s[2] and the Community was first established in 1959,[3] during the last few years of the Second Caliphate. Today, there are two Ahmadi mosques, of which one is purpose-built mosque, the oldest in the country.[4] There are an estimated 600 Ahmadi Muslims in the country.[5]
