Dr Amin Adam commissions 6,000-capacity mosque in Tamale

Former Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for the Karaga Constituency, Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, has commissioned a 6,000-capacity mosque in Tamale in the Northern Region.

Named Masjid Al-Noor, which translates as "The Light," the mosque can accommodate an additional 4,000 worshippers in its outer grounds, making it one of the largest Islamic prayer centres in Ghana.

At the commissioning ceremony, Dr. Amin Adam also donated GH¢300,000 as seed funding to support the operations of the mosque.

“I have donated GH¢300,000 as seed money to the Masjid Al-Noor management to support the operation of the mosque,” he said.

He expressed appreciation to the contractors, architects, and workers whose efforts contributed to the successful completion of the project.

“May Allah bless this mission and all who contributed to it, and may He continue to reward us all,” he added.

Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who attended the commissioning, commended Dr. Amin Adam for the initiative.

“The impressive edifice is not only a place of worship; it is also envisioned as a centre for learning, research, family guidance, and community development,” he said.

He expressed optimism that the facility would help nurture and train young people from across the country.

Dr Bawumia also donated GH¢200,000 to support the newly commissioned mosque.

The National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, was the Special Guest of Honour at the commissioning of the Masjid Al-Noor mosque, which also features study rooms to support Islamic education.
