Intro
Ahmadiyya doesn’t seem to have infiltrated into Mexico until roughly 1978-1979, when Major General Abdul Saeed Khan (His father (Dr. Saeed Ahmad Khan) was the President of the Lahori-Ahmadi jamaat (from 1981–1996, he died aged 96, he was born in 1900) was made the Official Pakistani Ambassador to Mexico, Costa Rica and others (see herein) by Notorious dictator Zia ul Haq.

In the 1980’s, while Maulana Muhammad Abdullah (was living in California), he visited Mexico many times as he worked with the son of the leader of the Lahori-Ahmadi’s, Major General Abdul Saeed Khan and worked on the Spanish translation of the Quran (Published in 1986)(See page 5) and the “Life of Muhammad” (Saw) in Spanish. Major General Abdul Saeed Khan died in 1988, Maulana Muhammad Abdullah flew to Texas from California to lead the funeral prayer. 

By 2008, Ahmadiyya has totally failed in Mexico. We estimate less than 10 Ahmadi’s in the entire country. Mexico was not mentioned in the famous book about Ahmadiyya temples all around the world of 2008(Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around The World – A Pictorical Presentation. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community; Khilafat Centenary Edition. 2008. ISBN 978-1882494514). The first ever Jalsa Salana was held in 2017. Thus, proving that Ahmadiyya has totally failed. There are no Ahmadi places of worship in the entire country, however, they do have 4 mission houses now. It’s hard to find Ahmadiyya mullahs, we have found a few, Azhar Goraya, seems to have worked there. Adnan Haider (@1Adnan_Haider) is another Ahmadi mullah working in Mexico. Noman Rana @theimamrana, he is also a missionary in Mexico. Noman Rana is also the National President of the Mexico jamaat, here is a video of him in Belize in 2017. Noman Rana’s brother is the famous Ahmadi who is in jail awaiting sentencing in a sexual scandal (Rana Luqman). Ibrahim Chechev is the Mayan convert to Qadianism, and he is at the Ahmadiyya mission in San Cristobal De Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, this has barely a 250 maximum occupancy and built in 2016. There are local Ahmadi converts in the area city of San Cristobal De Las Casas.

In 2025, a delegation from Mexico and Guatemala arrived in the UK on an all expenses paid trip to the UK for the 2025 UK Jalsa and even met with the Khalifa.

Islam in Mexico

Islam has been present in Mexico since the mid 1950’s due to mass Spaniard and Arab settlement. The Spanish Murabitun community, the Comunidad Islámica en España, based in Granada in Spain, and one of its missionaries, Muhammad Nafia (formerly Aureliano Pérez), now emir of the Comunidad Islámica en México, arrived in the state of Chiapas shortly after the Zapatista uprising and established a commune in the city of San Cristóbal. The group, characterized as anti-capitalistic, entered an ideological pact with the socialist Zapatistas group.^[9]PresidentVicente Fox voiced concerns about the influence of the fundamentalism and possible connections to the Zapatistas and the Basque terrorist organization Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA), but it appeared that most converts had no interest in political extremism.^[9] By 1994, many indigenousMayans and more than 700^[10]Tzotzils have converted to Islam.^[11] In San Cristóbal, the Murabitun established a pizzeria, a carpentry workshop^[12] and a Quranic school (madrasa) where children learned Arabic and prayed five times a day in the backroom of a residential building, and women in head scarves have become a common sight.^[9] Nowadays, most of the Mayan Muslims have left the Murabitun and established ties with the CCIM, now following the orthodox Sunni school of Islam. They built the Al-Kausar Mosque in San Cristobal de las Casas. Nevertheless, the vast majority of Native Mexicans today are non-Muslims.

2nd Jalsa Salana Mexico 2018

18th January 2019

Amen Aqeel Haider

Mexico Correspondent 

Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Mexico held its 2^nd Jalsa Salana on 28-29 December in Merida, Mexico. The total attendance at the Jalsa Salana this year was 195 among which the majority were Mexican members and guests. The remaining members consisted of guests from USA, Belize, Guatemala, Ghana and Pakistan.

Guests of the Jalsa travelled from all over Mexico to attend, some driving 15 to 20 hours to reach the city of Merida to attend the Jalsa. There was representation from 4 different states of Mexico; members attended from Chiapas, Mexico City, Querétaro and Merida.

Guests started arriving on Wednesday, 26 December and everyone was provided accommodation near the mosque or at the mosque. The Langar Khana was located at the mosque throughout the day for anyone who arrived, no matter what time of day or night. Some of the members who drove from far off places and arrived at two or three o’clock in the morning were all served food from the Langar at their arrival, after which they were taken to their accommodations. Transport was available for all guests flying in or arriving by bus; they were all provided pick and drop services.

Jalsa Salana commenced on Friday, 28 December with the Friday Sermon and prayers. After this, lunch was served.

The first session of the Jalsa started in the evening. The topics of the speeches and presentations during Jalsa Salana were selected bearing in mind that the majority of the members in Mexico are newly converted Ahmadi Muslims. After the completion of the first session, Salat was offered and dinner was served.

On Saturday, Lajna Imaillah held their session separately for the first time and men held their session separately. For many Mexican guests, this was their first time seeing women having their own Jalsa session and delivering all the speeches and presentations. This really impacted their view about leadership among women. Salat was offered and lunch was served before starting the third session of Jalsa Salana.

During the third session of Jalsa Salana, in which guests and dignitaries were also invited to attend and share their views, a few of the guests were as follows:

Norma Barnet Cantón, Director of Religious Affairs for the state of Yucatan. She was also representing the governor of Yucatan state

Luis Antonio Andrade Castillo, Director of Promotion and Diffusion of Culture in the department of culture and arts

Hector Castellano, Secretary of Religious Affairs for the city of Merida. He also represented the mayor of the city of Merida

Dr David Vegue, a Catholic priest

Padre Oscar Viñas Oliveras, Vice President of Inter-Religious Council for the state of Yucatan

Sofía del Carmen Brito Soberanís, Coordinator of Blood Donation Camps in the state of Yucatan

A request was sent by Mexico Jamaat for a message from Hazrat Khalifatul Masih^aa for the attendees of Jalsa Salana Mexico. The request was graciously approved and a letter from Hazrat Amirul Momineen^aa was received. This letter was translated into Spanish and was read out during the first session of Jalsa Salana and printed copies were given to each and every attendee.

The Jalsa Salana concluded with taranas [choral poems] prepared by children and Lajna, followed by dua (silent prayer). Therafter, Salat was offered and dinner was served.

Mexico Jamaat is based on members who have converted during the last three or four years, and many of them dedicated their time in organising the Jalsa and serving throughout the Jalsa in various departments. Volunteers ranged from children to the elderly, all eagerly wanting to serve the guests of the Promised Messiah^as. For many, it was the first time ever doing Jalsa duty, however, each and every volunteer fulfilled their duties as if they had been doing it for years. This dedication to serve, which was seen in the new converts, was a clear result of the prayers of the Promised Messiah^as regarding every Jalsa Salana and its blessings.

In accordance with the permission granted by Hazrat Khalifatul Masih^aa, Jalsa Salana Mexico was streamed live on various social media websites.

By the grace of Allah, many media outlets covered Jalsa Salana; print media and electronic media was present during the last session and various articles were published in various media outlets.
