The Ali Jimale Mosque (Arabic: مسجد علي جمعالي; Somali: Masjidka Cali Jimcaale) is a mosque located in Mogadishu, Banaadir, Somalia.
History
Opened in 2022, the design of the Ali Jimale Mosque was modelled on the mosques of Turkey and can accommodate up to 5,000 worshipers.[1] The Ali Jimale mosque was built near Mogadishu airport by businessman Ahmed-Nur Ali Jimale, and it cost $12 million.[2] The land it sits on was provided by the government of Somalia.
At the official opening in July 2022, the Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud performed the Eid Al Adha prayer alongside Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre, MPs,[3] government officials and hundreds of people.[4][5]
