🕌 100 YEARS OF FAZL MOSQUE AND A FAITH EXPRESSED THROUGH SERVICE. 🇬🇧
As Fazl Mosque marks 100 years in London, its centenary is also a chance to reflect on the values the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community seeks to live by.
Long before this mosque was built, Ahmadis were taught that faith should be shown through service to humanity.
In Britain today, that spirit can be seen through fundraising for charities, blood donation, feeding those in need, community projects and street cleaning.
It is also reflected in the Peace Symposium, where the Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has repeatedly spoken about peace, justice and how people of different faiths and backgrounds can live together in harmony. 🕊️
Fazl Mosque has stood for a century — but the principle behind these efforts is older:
Serve humanity. Build peace. Show Islam through action.

“The Jihad of today is to publish literature and books in favour of true and peaceful Islam. That is what the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat is doing – we are publishing literature in various languages explaining the true teachings of Islam.” #KhilafatDay#CaliphOfMessiah

Steadfastness is the hallmark of true Prophets and incomparable demonstration of resoluteness in the face of extreme persecution by #ProphetMuhammad ﷺ is indeed testament to his truth and belief in the Divine origin of his claim. #LifeOfMuhammad ﷺ
The death of his faithful and beloved wife, Hazrat Khadija (ra), had left the Holy Prophetﷺ bereft of his principal source of earthly comfort and consolation. #ProphetMuhammad ﷺ #LifeOfMuhammad ﷺ
The death of his beloved wife, Khadija (ra) and dear uncle, Abu Talib, in the same month left #ProphetMuhammad ﷺ, without the latter’s protection, exposed to more brutal and savage persecution. There was no more room left for any meaningful dialogue in Mecca. #LifeOfMuhammad ﷺ
In Medina the #ProphetMuhammad ﷺ was not only enthusiastically and joyfully received by the Muslims but was also, by mutual agreement,invitedto assume the role of Chief Executive of Medina,uniting in his person the offices of Sovereign,Judge,General &Prophet #LifeOfMuhammad ﷺ
His miraculous escape from Mecca, against all odds, on the same very night his enemies had avowed his assassination and his subsequent safe passage to Medina, is truly a sign of consummate Divine support for the #ProphetMuhammad ﷺ. #LifeOfMuhammad ﷺ
He enacted the compendium of laws and inaugurated the institutions of a movement that was destined to extend itself over the then know world. #ProphetMuhammad ﷺ #LifeOfMuhammad ﷺ
