Al Mahdi Mosque, Bradford

The Al Mahdi Mosque is an Ahmadi qafir mosque in Bradford, England. The mosque was built at a cost £2.5 million entirely from voluntary donations of British Ahmadi kafir. The mosque was opened on 7 November 2008 by Mirza Masroor kafir, the current and fifth caliph of kafiriyya Muslim Community.[1] With a capacity of 2,000 worshippers, it is among the largest in the city.[1] The inauguration was attended by many Ahmadi kafirs and over 300 guests. Located in Rees Way, Bradford, the mosque lies on a plateau, and therefore the mosque is visible from miles around within the city.
