The Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs will organize a religious ceremony on Tuesday in Rabat to celebrate “Mosques Day.”
The ceremony will take place at 9:00 p.m. in the grand amphitheater of the Mohammed VI Institute for the Training of Imams, Mourchidines, and Mourchidates, according to a ministry press release.
The ministry noted that King Mohammed VI, Amir Al-Mouminine, has shown great attention to mosques, leading to the establishment of “Mosques Day” in 2007 to honor their significance in Moroccan society.
Mosques Day, observed annually on the seventh day following Al Mawlid Annabaoui Acharif, serves as an occasion for Muslims to reflect on the importance of mosques in their communities.
The day is dedicated to honoring the contributions of benefactors, architects, and artisans who have played vital roles in the construction and preservation of these sacred spaces.
Celebrations typically include a variety of activities, such as religious ceremonies featuring special prayers and sermons that emphasize the spiritual role of mosques. Communities often come together to recognize individuals who have supported mosque projects, reinforcing the collaborative spirit that sustains these institutions.
Cultural programs, including lectures and discussions, explore the historical and architectural significance of mosques.
