Intro
Watch my video on this topic herein. By 2021, we estimate barely 200 Ahmadi’s in all of Spain.

In 1934, the Lahori-Ahmadi were trying to start a mission in Spain (See “The Light” of 24 April 1934). In 1936, the #qadianis sent a missionary to Spain, which was unheard of in those days (See Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques around the world, 2008). His name was Malik Mohammad Sharif (Also written as Malik Mohammad Sharid Gujrati, arrived in Madrid on March 10, 1936). Per Ahmadiyya sources, there was a civil war going on and he was re-directed to Italy. Malik Mohammad Sharif was never heard of again in the history of #ahmadiyya.

In roughly 1946, and after the end of WW-2, of which Spain was neutral, the #qadianis sent 2 missionaries, Maulana Karam ilahi Zafar and Mr. Mohammad Saqi (also spelled as Maulana Muhammad Ishaque Saqui). However, after only a few months, the mission was shut down and the murrabi’s were schedule to be re-directed. This is interesting since neither could speak any Spanish. Mr. Mohammad Saqi was sent to Trinidad and Tobago, whereas Maulana Karam ilahi Zafar decided to stay (and was approved by the Khalifa to stay) on in Spain and sold perfumes at open markets for years and years. He settled in Madrid and stayed in Spain til’ at least 1982 (see the photo in the below with Mirza Tahir Ahmad). He doesn’t seem to have had converted any people to Ahmadiyya, since their was no Ahmadiyya mission house, nor was there any place of worship.

In 1970, Mirza Nasir Ahmad visited Spain in an unprecedented visit. It is unclear how this was arranged, it was most likely through Muhammad Zafrullah Khan and other #ahmadis who work politically. By 1979, the Ahmadiyya Movement was claiming to have 1 mission house in the country.

Mirza Nasir Ahmad returned in 1980 and laid the foundation stone of the Basharat Mosque in Pedro Abad, Cordoba, Spain. Karam Ilali Zafar, then still a missionary in Spain, was sent to Granada, Andalusia, in 1982.

In 1982, the new 4th Qadiani-Ahmadi Khalifa (Mirza Tahir Ahmad) toured Spain. Maulvi Syed Mir Mahmud Ahmad Nasir and his wife were also allegedly there. In the 1980’s, Saleha Begum (also had the opportunity to stay there (Spain) and fulfil her obligations as the mother of a missionary. His wife (Amtul Matin) and their children were also present. When Masjid Basharat was constructed in Spain the family was there and worked extremely hard for the inauguration ceremony. Khalifatul Masih IV related that during those days if the family had the chance to retire at 3 am they would be happy to get some sleep.

After spending five years in Spain, Maulana Karam ilahi Zafar was transferred to Portugal in 1987 where he spent nine years. He then returned to Granada and after serving almost 60 years, mostly in Spain, he died in 1996. He is buried in a cemetery in Pedro Abad. An Ahmadi murrabi named Mr. Sayyad Abdullah Nadeem Shah claims to have spent 20+ years in Spain also.

In the 1990’s, Qadiani-Ahmadi maulvi’s in Spain were also communicating with a new Ahmadi in Morocco (Mr. Issam). They even faxed him an entire book.

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

The Ahmadiyya places of worship

The Basharat Mosque (Spanish: Mezquita Basharat; the name means “good news”) or Masjid Basharat is a mosque in Pedro Abad, Córdoba, Spain. The foundation stone was laid by the then head of worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Nasir Ahmad on October 9, 1980. It is the first purpose-built mosque since the end of Muslim rule at the end of the 15th century. It was inaugurated on 10 September 1982 by the fourth head of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Tahir Ahmad. The mosque is the centre of Ahmadiyya-Movement in Spain.

The annual gathering of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Spain (Jalsa Salana) is celebrated in Pedro Abad. Address: 14630 Pedro Abad, Córdoba, Spain.

The Light (24 April 1934) — www.alahmadiyya.org

In 1934, the Lahori-Ahmadi were trying to start a mission in Spain (See “The Light” of 24 April 1934).

1936

In 1936, the #qadianis sent a missionary to Spain, which was unheard of in those days (See Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques around the world, 2008). His name was Malik Mohammad Sharif (Also written as Malik Mohammad Sharid Gujrati, arrived in Madrid on March 10, 1936). Per Ahmadiyya sources, there was a civil war going on and he was re-directed to Italy. Malik Mohammad Sharif was never heard of again in the history of #ahmadiyya. At the 1936 Jalsa at Qadian (See ROR of Jan-1937), the 2nd Khalifa alleged that new missionary centers had been setup in Spain.

1945

A caravan of Ahmadi mullahs departed in 1945 from the headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Qadian towards Bombay harbour, via New Delhi. The group embarked on SS Batory and after three weeks landed in Liverpool where they confronted Jalal al-Din Shams, then a pioneering missionary stationed in England. The caravan spent six months in London at the Fazl Mosque.

The ROR of March-1945 alleges that the Ahmadiyya Movement has established a mission in Spain.

The ROR of Nov-1945 alleges that there is an active Qadiani-Ahmadi mission in Spain.

1946
https://www.alhakam.org/forts-of-muhammad-tahrik-e-jadids-foreign-mosques-and-missions/

On June 24, 1946 Karam Ilali Zafar arrived in Madrid through the French port of Hendaye.^[6][7]

In 1946, after the end of WW-2, of which Spain was neutral, the #qadianis sent 2 missionaries, Maulana Karam ilahi Zafar and Mr. Mohammad Saqi. However, after only a few months, the mission was shut down and the murrabi’ were schedule to be re-directed. This is interesting since neither could speak any spanish. Zafar studied Spanish for six months before he was able to preach to the people of Spain. A noted early convert of this period was Enrique Ku Zhin, an ethnic Russian translator who adopted the name Muhammad Ahmad.

Mr. Mohammad Saqi was sent to Trinidad and Tobago, whereas Maulana Karam ilahi Zafar decided to stay (and was approved by the Khalifa to stay) on in Spain and sold perfumes at open markets for years and years. Primarily in El Rastro an open-air market in Madrid. He often used his stalls as opportunity to introduce the Islamic faith. For example, he reportedly used to chant, “Huelan esta fragancia tan agradable, sin embargo esta fragancia no durará mucho tiempo entre vosotros, pero yo conozco un aroma que es permanente y eterno. Si lo desean, pueden tomar mi tarjeta y contactarme“, meaning that the pleasant fragrance that he is selling does not last long, but there is a scent that is permanent and eternal, i.e. Islamic teachings.^[7]

In one speech, Huzoor^ra spoke of the majestic buildings in Granada built by Muslims and the scores of libraries that were present during Muslims rule. Spain was also the gateway to Europe and thus, through tabligh in Spain, the rest of Europe would be easily accessible. To establish an Ahmadi Muslim mission in Spain was something Hazrat Musleh-e-Maud^ra said he always wanted to do. (Al Fazl, 17 July 1946)

Via the ROR of Nov-1946, Ahmadiyya had spread to Spain and was successfully established.

26 November 1948: the 2nd Khalifa narrated the faith-inspiring sentiments of missionaries in foreign missions across Europe, like that of France and Spain. Due to the financial burden caused by the Indian partition, the Jamaat was forced to stop the funding…of some foreign missions; however, some missionaries responded by saying that they would carry the missions on and make ends meet themselves, without the help of the markaz.
