THE Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs opened two new mosques in Umm Salal Ali and Umm Al Saneem, as part of the ministry's plan to increase the number of mosques and develop them in all regions, and to keep pace with urban and population growth, in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030.
The new mosques in Umm Salal Ali and Umm Al Saneem can accommodate 268 and 360 worshipers (men and women), respectively, and boast of a range facilities.
The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs takes into account population density, engineering, architectural and heritage characteristics, as well as environmental standards and rationalisation of water and energy consumption in the construction of mosques.
