President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has announced that the construction of approximately fifteen mosques across the country is scheduled for completion before the month of Ramadan.
In a post on his official X account, the President shared the update while congratulating the residents of Dhidhdhoo, Haa Alifu, on the opening of their new Islamic Centre on Friday. The facility includes an Islamic library and a branch of the Centre for the Holy Qur’an.
Highlighting the government’s priority to complete ongoing projects, President Dr Muizzu said efforts are underway to finalise key works ahead of Ramadan. He added that a mosque in Hulhumale’ Phase II is among those slated for completion by this deadline. To address the shortage of permanent mosques in Hulhumale’ Phase II, the President further announced that construction of an additional mosque in the area will begin in December.
The President reiterated that the government’s aim in establishing mosques and Islamic centres across the Maldives is to strengthen Islamic unity and promote the values and culture of the faith. He concluded his post with a prayer for the well-being and success of the Maldivian people.
