Under the leadership of Mahmood Ahmad, there was further development of the scope of missionary activities, and the establishment of a Madrasa Ahmadiyya [Seminary] up to university level. As part of this, he established 46 foreign missions. He established the Anjuman Tehrik-e-Jadīd which collected the funds from the members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community for the training of missionaries and had them posted to various countries. These foreign missions included Mauritius (1915), USA (1920), Ghana (1921), Egypt (1922), Bokhara (1923), Iran (1924), Palestine and Syria (1925), Java and Colombo (1931) Burma and Japan (1935), Argentina and Albania (1936), Yugoslavia and Sierra Leone (1937), Spain (1946) and Lebanon (1949). Later under the supervision of Mahmood Ahmad there were Mosques built in most of the places where missions had been established. The publication of Magazines and periodicals was also initiated in various languages. He also started afresh the translation of the Qur'an into English with explanatory notes for the benefit of European nations.[7]
