Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Islamic Affairs Department has announced that three new mosques will open during July and August of this year in various locations throughout the emirate. This initiative is part of a vision set by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to support the development of mosques and improve community life, particularly by enhancing places of worship that hold great importance in the community.

These new mosques will showcase different architectural styles, highlighting the beauty and cultural richness of Islamic design. They will also include essential facilities like areas for washing before prayer, restrooms, and parking spaces, ensuring comfort for everyone who visits and providing a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere.

Abdullah Khalifa Al Sebousi, the Chairman of the Sharjah Islamic Affairs Department, stated that opening these mosques reflects the commitment of the Ruler of Sharjah to make mosques not only places for prayer but also centers for learning and community engagement. They are seen as important spaces that help strengthen family bonds, impart the values of Islam, and guide the youth in their development.

Al Sebousi encouraged the community to take advantage of various programs offered at these mosques during the summer. These include academic courses, sessions for memorizing the Quran, and weekly lessons and discussions aimed at increasing community awareness and promoting positive values. These activities foster learning and help clarify misconceptions about Islam, making it easier for families to participate and grow together in their faith.
