Sharjah 24: His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, opened the Al Qalaa Neighbourhood Mosque in Kalba on Tuesday morning. The mosque is right next to Kalba Beach Road of the Kalba Creek neighbourhood.
His Highness was briefed about the mosque's features, its grandeur, its location, and the amenities available to worshippers, as well as how to get to and from the mosque.

The mosque is close to a number of major attractions in the area, including the Heritage Mosque Square and Khor Kalba Fort, which makes it an ideal location for a significant number of worshippers.

There are up to 1,000 parking places available, and the mosque features a library with a variety of Islamic publications, the Holy Quran, and the Prophet's honourable hadith's references.

During a religious sermon, His Highness listened about worship and how important it is. He also learned about the importance of mosques in Islam and how they help people get closer to God through prayers, reading the Holy Qur'an, and religious lessons and lectures organised by the Department of Islamic Affairs.
