The Mohammed VI Mosque in Conakry will be officially inaugurated this Friday, in accordance with the directives of King Mohammed VI of Morocco and in coordination with the Guinean authorities.
The ceremony will coincide with the Friday Prayer on 29 March 2024.
The inaugural sermon will be delivered by a representative of the Moroccan ‘Conseil Superieur des Oulemas,’ (Higher Council of the Ulamas) in the presence of eminent personalities from both countries.
The event will be followed by an official Iftar ceremony organised by the Embassy of the kingdom of Morocco in Conakry, in collaboration with the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulemas, to honour the Guinean religious authorities and diplomatic representations.
The mosque, initiated by King Mohammed VI in 2017, has a capacity for more than 3,000 worshippers and includes various facilities such as a prayer room, a conference room, a library, a Koranic school and green spaces.
The building is intended to strengthen fraternal ties between the Guinean and Moroccan peoples, by sharing Moroccan experience and expertise in religious management and promoting the values of
tolerance and dialogue.
Alongside the inauguration, the Foundation will be distributing more than 1,000 food baskets as part of its social activities, in line with the humanitarian vision of the Moroccan King.
