Paris, France — September 26, 2026. As hundreds of thousands gathered in the heart of Paris for Pope Leo XIV’s open-air Mass, French Ansar took the opportunity to spread their message among the crowds. The papal event drew an estimated 800,000 people to the Champs-Élysées and surrounding areas.
The believers distributed flyers declaring the message, “Allegiance is to Allah,” bringing their call directly to those attending one of the largest Catholic gatherings in France.
According to those present, French police arrested one member while he was carrying the flyers and the “Allegiance is to Allah” banner.
Despite the incident, the French Ansar continued their missionary efforts, carrying their message into the streets of Paris at a moment when hundreds of thousands had gathered to reflect on God, faith, and spiritual guidance.
