Cyclist Tour Spain May 2025

Assalamo Alaikum.

I’d like to share something beautiful from the Mayor of Pedro Abad.

He said:
Whenever I come to Mosque I feel at home. He commented that this event has become truly international with representation from Germany, Canada and Australia as well. Ahmadiyya Jamaat is making Pedro Abad a famous place and they are grateful for this”

He stayed until almost 11pm. His family was also there and probably almost the last one to leave despite his commitments.

Some guests stayed untill 11:30. It shows they were all comfortable in the environment. Despite language challenges engaged in conversations with UK members and were appreciative.

Some even invited our members to visit them at their homes next time. This is truly groundbreaking.

Alhamdolillah.
