The Mobarak Mosque in The Hague is the first purpose-built mosque in the Netherlands.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community came to the Netherlands in 1947 and Qudrat-Ullah Hafiz was the first missionary. The mosque designed by Frits Beck was opened by Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan on 9th of December 1955.
On June 3, 2006 Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands had visited the Mobarak Mosque to commemorate the building's 50th anniversary.[1]
