Dubai will see a massive development of its religious infrastructure as Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has pledged Dh560 million to construct mosques in strategic locations of the city. The project is designed to provide space for the increasing number of worshippers and improve accessibility to places of worship in fast-developing areas.
Speaking to mosque visitors and benefactors during a meeting, Sheikh Hamdan showed his great gratitude for their generosity, recognizing their contributions in reinforcing the city’s spiritual and cultural ties. He underscored the significance of mosques as places of worship, learning, and community outreach, serving as key players in the social life of the city.
The funding will be used to build a number of new mosques in Dubai, providing them with state-of-the-art facilities while maintaining the rich Islamic architectural heritage of the area. The project is part of the UAE’s overall effort to promote religious tolerance and community assistance.
Authorities have assured that the new mosques will be strategically located to serve both residential and commercial areas, making it easier for residents and visitors to fulfill their religious obligations. The project reflects Dubai’s vision of balancing urban growth with spiritual well-being.
