Elated with the visit this week of their spiritual leader, members of a Chino mosque chanted and sang Tuesday night as he returned from a luncheon with dignitaries in Beverly Hills.

“Long live the founder of the community,” the men of the Baitul Hameed Mosque chanted as vehicles containing Mirza Masroor Ahmad, his wife and entourage drove into the mosque complex on Pipeline Avenue, north of Philadelphia Street. The women sang a poem that praised God for the promised messiah.

The Ahmadiya Muslim community believes that the long-awaited messiah came in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of India who lived from 1835 to 1908.

“Ahmad claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad,” according to the Ahmadiyya Muslim community’s website. “The Community believes that God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and reinstitute morality, justice and peace.”
