The opening as it read in 2025
Ahmadiyya in Israel ( Hebrew : אחמדים בישראל ; Arabic : أحمدية في إسرائيل ) is a small community established in the region in the 1920s in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine . Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Ahmadi branch of Islam can be openly practiced. As such, Kababir , a neighbourhood on Mount Carmel in Haifa , Israel, acts as the Middle East headquarters of the community. It is unknown how many Israeli Ahmadis there are, but there are an estimated 2,200 Ahmadis in Kababir alone.
