CENTENARY JUBILEE PLAN At the occasion of the Annual Convention Rabwah held in December 1973 Huzoor rta announced the most extensive plan of his Khilafat. He named it the Ahmadiyya Centenary Jubilee Plan. Its purpose was to increase the pace and global expansion of the works being undertaken by the Community before the completion of a hundred years of its formation. Huzoor rta used to say, “God has kindled a fire within us that we have to make Islam dominate the whole world. ” The plan aimed at spreading the message of Islam through publications, writings and construction to the very ends of the earth. Opposition to this plan began at an international level. Huzoor rta made a mention of this in his Friday sermon of 13 February 1974. Thus, after a few months an intense movement was initiated to get the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community declared a non-Muslim minority.
