Mosques around the World — Page 16
16. The Fazal Mosque in London, England was said about the British Empire that the sun does not set over it. Now, by the Grace of God, Ahmadiyyat is also spreading in remote areas of the east and west. We can say about this Jama'at that the sun does not set over it. We, however, do not want only this much. We want that the sun should not set over our Azan as well. May mosques be constructed from one end of the world to the other and may the Azan be called from every mosque. Wherever the sun may rise, may it see the holy name of God being raised there. My desire is that there should be a mosque at every place in the world.
