Tens of thousands of British Muslims are travelling to the South-East of England to hear the Caliph of the world’s largest organised Islamic community.
Around 30,000 Muslims from approximately 100 countries will join together in order to listen to and pledge allegiance to the Caliph of Peace, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the fifth (Khalifa) Caliph and Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
The three-day international gathering, known as the Jalsa Salana, is designed to promote the peaceful and humanitarian teachings of Islam and to counter extremist views and misinterpretations of the world’s second largest religion.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was established in 1889 in India and is led by the single largest caliphate in the world, with millions of adherents.
The 50th Jalsa will climax Sunday 14th August with a pledge of allegiance at the hand of His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Worldwide Head and Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
His Holiness has been an extremely vocal critic of all terrorist and extremist groups who have sought to align themselves with Islam.
