The Ministry of Endowment and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf), through the Mosques Department, officially opened the Sheikh Abdullah bin Thani bin Jassim Al-Thani and Sheikha Sheikha bint Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Thani Mosque in Mamura area.
The mosque was built by Sheikh Ali bin Abdullah bin Thani bin Jassim Al-Thani in memory of his late parents. It is part of the ministry’s plan to build more mosques across the country in support of Qatar’s National Vision 2030 for growing cities and population.
The mosque, which covers an area of 1,933 square meters, can accommodate 891 people – 841 men and 50 women. It features a spacious area for freshening up before prayers, public parking with spaces for the disabled, and easy-to-use entrances and exits. The mosque is easy to spot from afar because it has a tall minaret. The imam also has a private house, so he can live close to the mosque and serve the community better.
