The Ahmadiyya Mosque, officially known as the Bait-ul-Ahad - The Japan Mosque (Japanese: ベイトゥルアハドモスク - 日本のモスク), is a mosque, located in Tsushima, on the outskirts of Nagoya, in the Aichi Prefecture of Japan.
Opened on 20 November 2015 by Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the fifth caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
The Ahmadiyya movement was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who claimed that he received divine revelation at the age of 41 and, in 1889, declared himself to be the Messiah and the Mahdi. Since this contradicts the Islamic belief that Muhammad is the final prophet, many mainstream Muslims consider the movement heretical (non-Muslim). Therefore, this mosque is also not considered an Islamic mosque.
