Jalsa Salana UK 2026 preparations advance for 55,000‑person gathering

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s annual Jalsa Salana in the United Kingdom is scheduled for 24–26 July 2026 at the Hadeeqatul Mahdi site. Organisers expect around 55,000 participants from more than 90 countries, with Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the worldwide community head, slated to address the three‑day convention.

Preparations have accelerated, with volunteers completing about 60 % of metal track installation, toilet and shower fixtures, cabin placement, and security fencing. Around 6,000 departmental badges and 7,500 car‑pass applications (4,500 already distributed) have been processed. Traffic‑management plans and round‑the‑clock security checks are being finalised to minimise disruption for nearby residents.
