What Wikivoyage says to see

Rabwah was the headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community until 1983 when the ordinance issued by General Zia-ul-haq forced the then-caliph of the community, Hadhrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, to move to London, where the present headquarters are. Rabwah is known for this association, so many places worth visiting are associated with the community and are of much significance for the followers of the community.
