The Al Mahdi Mosque is an Ahmadi Muslim mosque in Bradford, England. The mosque was built at a cost £2.5 million entirely from voluntary donations of British Ahmadi Muslims. The mosque was opened on 7 November 2008 by Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the current and fifth caliph of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. With a capacity of 2,000 worshippers, it is among the largest in the city.[1] The inauguration was attended by many Ahmadi Muslims and over 300 guests.[2] The mosque, on Rees Way, was built at the top of a hill[3] and is visible from miles around within the city.[4]
In 2014, the mosque was the host of BBC Radio 4's topical debate programme Any Questions?.[5]
