The Basharat Mosque (Spanish: Mezquita Basharat; the name means “good news”) or Masjid Basharat is a mosque in Pedro Abad, Córdoba, Spain. The foundation stone was laid by the then head of worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Nasir Ahmad on October 9, 1980. It is the first purpose-built mosque since the end of Muslim rule at the end of the 15th century. It was inaugurated on 10 September 1982 by the fourth head of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Tahir Ahmad. The mosque is the centre of Ahmadiyya-Movement in Spain.[1][2][3]
