Morphology
Qadiani + belief
This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase: 'Qadiani' identifies a group or affiliation and 'belief' denotes doctrines, so the meaning 'the beliefs held by Qadianis (followers of the Ahmadiyya movement)' is directly derivable from the parts. The pattern 'X belief' (e.g., 'Christian belief') is cross-linguistically common and follows normal adjective/noun + noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Qadiani belief comes from the town Qadian, where a religious leader began the Ahmadiyya movement. It refers to the 'religious ideas' held by that group's 'followers'.
