Weekend World Show Podcast 27-09-2026 A Message of Islam in West Celebrating Centenary of Fazl Mosque by Voice of Islam

In the concluding episode of our two-part documentary, we explore the historic transformation of Southfields following the critical events of April 1984. As Ordinance XX criminalized the everyday practice of faith in Pakistan, the Fourth Caliph, Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, migrated to London—turning the Fazl Mosque into the operational worldwide headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

Trace how a modest suburban sanctuary rose to meet extraordinary global responsibilities: from establishing immediate international operations to pioneering 24-hour satellite TV broadcasting through MTA. We revisit the historic 2003 election of the Fifth Caliph, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (may Allah be his Helper), held right within the mosque's walls, and examine its modern legacy as a Grade II listed landmark.

Discover how the Fazl Mosque continues to serve today as a vital pillar of British-Muslim identity, proving itself through deep civic integration, charity, and enduring interfaith outreach.

Listen now to complete the journey of London's first purpose-built mosque—from a local sanctuary into a global beacon of faith, media, and community resilience.

Step back in time to discover the origins of London’s first purpose-built mosque. In this opening episode of our two-part audio documentary, we journey from the early 1913 mission at Speakers’ Corner to the historic foundation and opening of the Fazl Mosque in 1926—built through the extraordinary sacrifices of Ahmadi women across the world.

Explore the mosque’s remarkable interwar legacy: as a beacon for literary figures like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the backdrop for Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s historic 1933 return to politics, an air-raid sanctuary during the WWII Blitz, and the spiritual home of Nobel Laureate Professor Abdus Salam and Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan (ra).

The episode culminates in the dramatic events of April 1984, when state-sponsored persecution in Pakistan led to the migration of Khilafat to London, forever altering the course of Ahmadiyya history and transforming a quiet suburban mosque into the global headquarters of a worldwide faith.
