Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Guyana begins demolition of HQ to make way for new masjid and complex

Nov 08, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Guyana has announced the commencement of the demolition of its National Headquarters, located at 198 Oronoque and Church Streets, Georgetown. This historic building, originally purchased on January 23, 1978, during the tenure of Maulana Muhammad Aslam Qureshi Sahib, has served as the central hub for the Jama’at’s religious, administrative, and community activities for over four decades.

The demolition marks the beginning of a new and significant chapter for the community. The existing structure will be replaced by a modern two-story Masjid and Headquarter Complex covering 7,606 square feet.

The new complex, graciously approved by the worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (May Allah be his Helper), will include a beautiful mosque, offices, a mission house, and multipurpose facilities designed to better serve the growing needs of the community.

The demolition is scheduled to commence tomorrow (Friday, November 7, 2025) at 12:30 PM, beginning with the Friday Sermon, followed by Silent Prayer and the sacrifice of two goats/sheep as an expression of gratitude to Allah the Almighty.

This redevelopment represents not just a new building, but a renewed commitment to serving humanity, fostering peace, and strengthening our community. The original structure has played a vital role in our history, and we now look forward to a future of continued growth and service under the guidance of Spiritual Leader, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (May Allah be his Helper).

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Guyana, established in 1960, continues to play an active role in promoting education, health, interfaith harmony, and humanitarian service across Guyana.

Regards,
Maqsood Ahmed Mansoor
President and Missionary In-Charge
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Guyana
