13 Ahmad made heavy use of the notion of the divine light that was to light the dark world around him. As he declared at the creation of his Movement in 1889: ‘The community shall be a lighthouse so high as to illuminate the four corners of the world. ’14 In 1891, he elaborated on his intentions to spread the light to Europe and America. 16 In the Dutch mission a photo-collage on Qadian describes events: ‘The land of Qadian is a sacred 44 Hi n d u s ta n i - C o m m i s s i o n e d M o s q u e D e s i g n i n T h e N e t h e r l a n d s land and one which Allah has chosen to be the center from which Islam would spread all over the world and prevail over all other religions.

The analyst should realize that all Muslim patrons meaningfully and by definition establish a pragmatic transformation of building elements to a new context, even if they claim to ‘stand in an age-old tradition’, but also that all Muslim patrons meaningfully and by definition make use of earlier representations, even if they claim to ‘leave the past behind’.
