Mosque reopening for Dhuhr prayers delayed by a week

Ahmed Al-Fateh Mosque is located in Manama, Bahrain's capital, and is part of an Islamic center. The center includes the mosque, a department for Qur'anic studies and an Islamic library. Construction work of Ahmed Al-Fateh Center began in 1984. It was opened in 1988 by the late Amir of Bahrain, Sheikh Issa bin Salman Al-Khalifa. The mosque occupies an area of 6,500 square meters and it can accommodate up to 7000 worshippers. Daily congregational prayers as well as Friday prayers are held at the mosque.

The reopening of mosques for Dhuhr (noon) prayers has been pushed back a week to November 8.

The Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments Ministry announced today that the opening has been delayed to ensure that mosques are ready to receive worshippers in accordance with the health guidelines.
