Ahmed bin Abdulrahman Al Mehza Mosque Inaugurated in Hajiyat

Chairman of the Sunni Endowments, Rashid bin Mohammed bin Fatees Al Hajeri, has inaugurated the Ahmed bin Abdulrahman Al Mehza Mosque in Hajiyat, in conjunction with the holy month of Ramadan.

This step comes in line with the directives of the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, to take care of mosques nationwide.

The mosque features prayer halls for men and women that can take up to 1,000 worshippers, and a center for teaching the Qur'an.

The moonsighting committee in Bahrain declared Thursday, March 23rd, as the first day of the holy month of Ramadan in the country, as the crescent moon, which marks the beginning of a month in the Islamic Hijri calendar, was not seen on Tuesday night.

This year's holy month of Ramadan will have a period of 29 days according to astronomical predictions. Eid Al Fitr is predicted to fall on Friday, April 21st, yet the date is subject to change on the basis of moon sightings.
