Kababir
Among the many religious communities in Haifa, the place of the Ahmadia religion stands out, with its concentration of faithful in Kababir Village. The Ahmadis arrived in Eretz Israel at the turn of the 20th century from their centre in Damascus following the rise of hostility against them in Syria, and transferred the hub of their activity to Kfar Kababir, then a Muslim village on the western spur of the Carmel, whose residents joined the religion. Believers came to the village from other places, and since then Kababir has functioned as the main centre of Ahmadia in the Middle East. The village has become a Haifa suburb, and has recently witnessed the building of a spacious mosque and communal centre with twin towers overlooking the southern approaches to the city.
