Basharat Mosque
About
The Basharat Mosque (Mezquita Basharat) — also called Masjid Basharat, the 'Mosque of Glad Tidings' — stands in the small Andalusian town of Pedro Abad, in the province of Córdoba, southern Spain. It is the principal place of worship of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in the country and the centre of its life on the Iberian Peninsula.
The foundation stone was laid on 9 October 1980 by Mirza Nasir Ahmad, the third Khalīfat al-Masīh of the worldwide Ahmadiyya movement. The completed mosque was inaugurated nearly two years later, on 10 September 1982, by his successor as Caliph, Mirza Tahir Ahmad.
Pedro Abad now serves as the venue for Jalsa Sālāna — the yearly assembly of the Ahmadiyya community in Spain — when members travel from across the country to come together in prayer, lectures, and communal life. The mosque carries particular resonance in the wider story of Islam in Spain, recalling — many centuries after the end of al-Andalus — a renewed Muslim place of worship in the heart of historic Andalusia.
