Beacon of mercy in Wales: Huzoor inaugurates Baitur Raheem Mosque in Cardiff On Sunday, 23 November 2025, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat in the United Kingdom witnessed a historic milestone as Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vaa, inaugurated the Baitur Raheem Mosque in Cardiff. This marks the first purpose-built mosque of the Jamaat in Wales. Just before 17:00 GMT, Huzooraa arrived at the site. Upon arrival, he unveiled the commemorative plaque, planted a commemorative sapling in the mosque grounds and led a silent prayer to mark the inauguration. Shortly after, Huzooraa led the Maghrib and Isha prayers in the new mosque. Huzooraa also graciously met with various dignitaries, followed by various group photographs with Jamaat members.

People said that the sun had eclipsed because of Ibrahim’s death. Thereupon, the Prophetsa said, ‘The sun and the moon are two signs from among the signs of Allah. They do not undergo eclipse because of anyone’s death or life. So when you see them, supplicate to Allah and offer salat until it becomes clear again.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-kusuf, Bab ad-du‘a’i fi l-khusuf, Hadith 1060)

The Regional Amir of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat gave a welcome address, expressing gratitude to Huzooraa for gracing the occasion. This was followed by brief remarks from several guest dignitaries who congratulated the Jamaat on this achievement.

The purpose of a mosque
The Effect of Godly Preachers on the Soul
Huzooraa explained that the primary purpose of this mosque, like all true mosques, was to serve as a sacred place for the worship of Allah. However, he emphasised that a mosque also stands as a testament to the Jamaat’s commitment to its neighbours and the local community. “Indeed, the abiding message that echoes aloud from all our mosques is that where they serve as a place to worship Allah, they also serve to foster peace, compassion and harmony throughout the world,” Huzooraa stated. Addressing potential misconceptions about Islam, Huzooraa reassured the local community that our mosques always
