Review of Religions:  Islam and Spain:

 Spanish land; lost by the sword; Spanish hearts won by the message of peace

In 1946, Mirza Bashir-Ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad^ra, Second worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, passionately vowed that if enabled by God, he would send missionaries to Spain in order to spread the message of Islam Ahmadiyyat and conquer Spain for Islam once again by winning over the hearts of people; thus peacefully avenging the humiliating defeat, forced conversions and eviction of Muslims from Spain. Since 1936, missionaries from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community have been working to spread the peaceful message of Islam to the people of Spain. To keep expanding this holy mission, the worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih V^aba,visited Spain in March-April 2013 to inaugurate a newly built mosque in Valencia, Baitur Rahman. This is the second and final part of the tour report of Khalifatul Masih V^aba.

In the morning, His Holiness led formal prayer (Fajr) in congregation and attended to his wide and varied duties as the head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. At 11:30 AM His Holiness presided over a meeting of National Majlis Amila Ansarullah (national executive council of Ahmadi men over forty), France. The meeting started with silent prayers. His Holiness encouraged the Ahmadiyya Community France to make a concerted effort towards the preaching of Islam, particularly along the French-Spanish borders. His Holiness encouraged elders of the community to be motivated to serve the community in an active manner.
