INAUGURATION OF BAITUL KHABEER MOSQUE IN PUTTALAM.

It is worthy to mention here, by the Grace of God, Sri Lanka Ahmadiyya Community on last Friday inaugurated a beautiful Mosque in Puttalam. It was named by Ahmadiyya Khalifa as Baitul Khabeer. The completed Mosque has two story building with Dome and a Minara.. This Mosque has the spacious of worshipping 200 people.

Ahmadiyya Jama’at is a Community of Islam which is widely perceived to be different from the mainstream Muslism of the religion as they believe that the advent of a Messiah, as promised by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), has already happened. They believe, unlike the mainstream believers of Islam, that the Messiah was incarnated in 1835 in the form of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.

Under Divine Command, in 1889, Ahmad proclaimed himself under the Divine Command, awaited Messiah, and was widely subscribed to be so by Muslims from around the world. The followers of Ahmad thus came to be called ‘Ahmadis’ or ‘Ahmadiyyas’.

We are completely same as the other mainstream followers of Islam but for our belief in the advent of a Messiah, which they believe is yet to take place.
