The Inauguration of the Quran Mosque: A New Architectural Jewel in Sharjah
On a remarkable Thursday afternoon, H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, the Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of Arada, officially opened the stunning Quran Mosque in Aljada, Sharjah. This mosque stands out as one of the largest in the region, covering a spacious 6,388 square meters. What’s truly unique about it is the absence of columns inside, providing worshippers with an open, uninterrupted space for prayer.
During the inauguration, Sheikh Sultan performed the Dhuhr prayer in this magnificent mosque that can accommodate up to 3,000 people! The layout includes seating for 1,600 in the main prayer area, 1,000 in the lush outdoor courtyard, and 400 in the women’s section. The mosque boasts an impressive circular dome and a tall minaret that rises gracefully to 39 meters, a design choice that enhances its beauty alongside the intricate Arabic calligraphy adorning its exterior.
One of the highlights of the mosque is its modern Islamic design, aimed at providing a spiritual oasis for both locals and visitors. With private contemplation rooms, residences for the imam and the muezzin, and convenient facilities for purification before prayers, it is designed to cater to the needs of the community while upholding traditional values.
Religious scholar Salem Al Doubi spoke at the event, reflecting on the vital role mosques play in fostering community spirit and peace. He highlighted that these sacred spaces are not just places of worship; they are hubs of good deeds and social unity.
Excitingly, the Quran Mosque is just the beginning. Arada has plans to construct two more mosques in the area, reinforcing Sharjah’s commitment to making it easier for people to gather for prayers and communal activities. This initiative underscores the emirate’s dedication to enhancing its cultural landscape while promoting Islamic values and community flourishing.
