117 We W ill Build Mosques Everywhere F ro m the Men’s Jalsa Gah Delivered by Hazrat Mirza Bashir - ud - D in Mahmud Ahmad, Khalifat - ul - Masih II ra Rabwah December 27, 1950 “ …. A few months ago, I initiated a scheme for the Washington m osque and the Hague Mosque. When I presented the scheme for the London m osque , at that time the number of [members in the] Jama'at was ten times less than the present number. I initiated that scheme among women , whose income is generally half compared to men. E ven then they were able to collect sixty to seventy thousand r upees in chanda. Now that we are ten times more in number , why should we be sluggish in these virtuous endeavors ? We must build m osques not only in every important place, but everywhere in the world so that we can tell those people who do not think of us as Muslims, i s this the work of non - Muslims ? ” ( Al - F a zl , 2 January 1951, page 3)
