Sultan bin Ahmed inaugurates Quran Mosque in Aljada

This mosque is one of the largest in Sharjah, designed without columns inside, allowing for an unobstructed space for worshippers. It covers a large area of 6,388 square meters.

During the inauguration, His Highness led the Dhuhr prayer at the mosque, which can hold up to 3,000 worshippers. This includes 1,600 people in the main prayer area, 1,000 in the outdoor courtyard, and 400 in the women’s section. The mosque features an impressive circular dome and a tall minaret that rises 39 meters. Its exterior combines simple designs with beautiful Arabic calligraphy, enhancing the overall architectural appearance and creating an eye-catching contrast.

His Highness received an update on the new mosque, which features a modern Islamic design and includes various amenities. These amenities consist of private rooms for contemplation, residences for the imam and the muezzin, as well as facilities for washing before prayers and restrooms. This mosque offers a spiritual environment that caters to both local residents and visitors, serving as a new architectural highlight that complements Sharjah's unique style.

During the event, religious scholar Salem Al Doubi spoke about the importance of mosques and communal prayers, explaining how they uplift the spirit and promote peace and comfort among the faithful. He emphasized that mosques are places that bring people together for good deeds and have a distinguished status in Islam, being referred to as God's house.

Al Doubi also mentioned the significance of building mosques and the blessings it brings. He shared an example from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, who built the Quba Mosque shortly after arriving in Medina. He quoted the Prophet's saying: “Whoever builds a mosque for God, even if it is the size of a sparrow’s nest, God will build for him a house in Paradise.” He prayed for those who helped construct this mosque, wishing them great rewards.

The opening of the Quran Mosque, the first one in Aljada, marks the beginning of more mosque projects in the area. Arada is planning to complete two more mosques to serve the community. This initiative supports Sharjah's goal of establishing mosques in many regions of the emirate, making it easier for people to gather for prayers. The new mosque highlights Sharjah's dedication to creating resources that benefit various groups in society and promote Islamic and social values.

The opening was attended by Abdullah Khalifa Al Subousi, Chairman of the Department of Islamic Affairs; Hassan Yaqoub Al Mansouri, Secretary-General of the Sharjah Media Council; Khalifa Al Shaibani, General Manager of Tilal Properties; and several other officials.
