President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu states 15 new mosques will be completed and inaugurated before next Ramadan.

The President, via a post on X on Friday, congratulated residents of HA. Dhidhdhoo on the inauguration of the island’s new Islamic centre. The facility includes an Islamic library and a branch of the Centre for the Holy Qur’an.

In his post, said construction on 15 new mosques across the Maldives is scheduled for completion and inauguration before next Ramadan.

Emphasising the Government’s commitment to completing ongoing projects, President Muizzu highlighted the goal of finishing key works before Ramadan.

To further address the shortage of permanent mosques in the area, the President announced that construction of another mosque in Hulhumalé Phase II will commence in December.

He reaffirmed that the Government’s broader objective in developing mosques and Islamic centres across the country is to reinforce Islamic unity and uphold the values and traditions of the faith.
