Ahmadiyya Muslims attended the London and Manchester vigils wearing T-shirts with the slogan: "I am a Muslim, ask me anything."

In a small mosque in south London, a congregation of men humble themselves in united prayer, led by the fifth Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Masroor Ahmad.

But Salim, five, is finding it hard to concentrate. The specific distraction is the small group of people at the back of the room, who sit watching in two rows. They are not part of the congregation, but guests of the mosque, invited here to experience the breaking of the fast in the holy month of Ramadan.
