Phoenix of Al-Andalus: The Divine Return of Islam In our second episode of this 2-part documentary we trace the spiritual rebirth of Islam in Spain — not through conquest, but through compassion, prayer, and prophecy. From the golden age of Al-Andalus to the silence following the fall of Granada in 1492, this episode captures centuries of loss, longing, and divine promise. It follows the sacred journey from the prophetic words of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to the revival sparked by the Promised Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), in the East, and carried westward by devoted pioneers like Chaudhry Fateh Muhammad Sial and Maulana Karam Ilahi Zafar. With the historic establishment of the Basharat Mosque in 1982, the first since the Reconquista, and the continued visits and guidance of Khilafat, the documentary unveils a quiet revolution: a return not of empire, but of faith. Through heartfelt interviews and historical narration, this documentary reveals how Ahmadiyyat has become Spain’s hidden heartbeat — the long-lost verse now restored to the melody of its soul. It is a tale of divine love rekindled, a prophecy fulfilled, and a dawn that, once risen, shall never set again.”

Episode 22. A key note address delivered by His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (may Allah be his helper) on the occasion of the inauguration of the “Khilafat Centenary Hall,” built next to the Baitul Huda Mosque in Sydney on 18th October 2013.

Episode 2. This episode will serve as an introduction to the concept of FoRB. It will focus on the origins of FoRB, The origins of the concept of freedom of expression, freedom of religion in history & how it has evolved over time, the relevance it has played in history and where the key changes occurred historically to the rights of FoRB. In particular, we will focus on the early years of FoRB: The Romans tolerated most religions, including Judaism, and encouraged local subjects to continue worshipping their own gods. They did not however, tolerate Christianity until it was legalised by the Roman emperor Galerius in 311. Holmes and Bickers note that as long as Christianity was treated as a part of Judaism it enjoyed the same freedom, but the Christian claim to religious exclusivity meant its followers found themselves subject to hostility. The early Christian apologist Tertullian was the first-known writer referring to the term libertas religionis. The Edict of Milan guaranteed freedom of religion in the Roman Empire until the Edict of Thessalonica in 380, which outlawed all religions except Christianity. Following a period of fighting lasting around a hundred years before 620 AD which mainly involved Arab and Jewish inhabitants of Medina (then known as Yathrib), religious freedom for Muslims, Jews and pagans was declared by Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon him) in the Constitution of Medina. In early Muslim history (until mid 11th century), most Islamic scholars maintained a level of separation from the state which helped to establish some elements of institutional religious freedom. The Islamic Caliphate later guaranteed religious freedom under the conditions that non-Muslim communities accept dhimmi status and their adult males pay the jizya tax instead of the zakat paid by Muslim citizens.
