In accordance with the instructions of King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful, the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulema oversaw the official opening of the Mohammed VI Mosque in N’Djamena on Friday.
The opening of this important religious infrastructure is part of strengthening historical spiritual, scientific, and fraternal ties between Morocco and Chad, and enshrines the noble mission of the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulema, dedicated to serving the values of Islam and promoting religious and scientific cooperation among ulema across the African continent.
Covering an area of approximately 33,000 m2, this religious and cultural complex includes spaces dedicated to prayer that can accommodate more than 3,000 worshippers, as well as an integrated cultural complex with a conference room, a scientific library, meeting rooms, and administrative offices, making this infrastructure a vibrant religious and cultural hub that contributes to the formation, supervision, and dissemination of the values of peace, tolerance, and dialogue.
Technical explanations were provided to the guests about the various rooms and components of the mosque, before the unveiling of the commemorative plaque marking its official opening. The first Friday prayer was then performed in the presence of a large crowd of worshippers who had arrived early in the morning to attend the opening of this new religious building.
The ceremony was attended by a large Moroccan delegation, including several ulema, experts, and media professionals, led by Secretary General of the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulema Mohamed Rifki, the Foundation’s Financial Director Othmane Sqalli Houssaini, as well as El-Yazid Er-Radi, Mohamed Derkaoui, and Mohcine Koujim, representatives of the Kingdom’s Supreme Council of Ulema.
