Bait-ul-Fazl, in London
London was the destination of the first overseas missionary of the Ahmadiyya Community. The first mosque built by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in England was the Fazl Mosque situated in Southfields, South West London. The Fazl mosque which is commonly known as the London Mosque was built by the funds provided by the ladies section of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1924. Since 1994 the Mosque has also been involved with the world's first global Muslim television station, Muslim Television Ahmadiyya International. MTA broadcasts 24 hours a day and is run entirely by volunteers. |

Bait-ul-Futuh, in Morden
By the Grace of Allah the Baitul Futuh mosque complex was completed through voluntary donations of individual members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
The mosque complex provides the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community with a central focal point for meetings, social and religious events on a national scale that was no longer possible in the much smaller London mosque. Baitul Futuh is the largest mosque in western Europe. Visit www.BaitulFutuh.org for more info.

Islamabad, in Tilford
With the arrival of Hadhrat Khalifat-ul-Masih IV (rh) to the U.K in 1984, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community needed a permanent venue to host the annual convention.
This site used to be a boarding school which closed down in July 1977.
There was huge potential here, and so the land was
acquired in 1984. Since then, the site has been used for the convention till 2004; after which the location for the convention was changed to an even bigger site. Islamabad is also the final resting place of Hadhrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rh) and his wife Asifa Begum sahiba. |
