His Excellency Sheikh Saud Bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, Ambassador of the State of Qatar to Pakistan, inaugurated the Qatar Charity Mosque in Islamabad. The ambassador visited the mosque, accompanied by a delegation from Qatar Charity office in Pakistan.
The opening was attended by Pakistani government officials, diplomats, and components of local humanitarian organizations.
This mosque was built in a modern residential area where there are no mosques, and the mosque is expected to accommodate 800 people where they can perform their prayers in a safe environment.
Previously, residents of the area moved to remote areas to perform prayers, and many of them were unable to perform congregational prayers due to the harsh weather conditions. From this point of view, Qatar Charity built the first mosque of this size in this area.
The Ambassador expressed his happiness and appreciation for this step and praised Qatar Charity's efforts throughout Pakistan.
For his part, Mr. Amin Abdul Rahman, Director of Qatar Charity's office in Pakistan, highlighted the importance of the mosque from a religious point of view.
He added that the mosque is the house of God, and it is our responsibility to keep it clean we are grateful to the benefactor of the philanthropic people in Qatar for his generosity of giving and his support for this kind gesture.
The imam of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque, Mr. Qari Muhammad Fahim, also expressed his thanks to the generous donor and philanthropists in Qatar, where a special space was allocated for children to learn the Qur’an and to provide lessons in Islamic education.
It is noteworthy that in 2022, Qatar Charity built 9 mosques in Pakistan, including 2 in Islamabad, 4 in Muzaffarabad, a mosque in Mirpur Khas, another mosque in Sinjar, and another in Peshawar, and there are 8 mosques currently under construction.
