Sharjah Islamic Society opens Al-Sahabi Mosque
The Department of Islamic Affairs in Sharjah has inaugurated the Prophet Mansour bin Umair Mosque in the Al Aweer neighborhood of Khorfakkan, with the goal of serving local residents and strengthening the religious infrastructure. The mosque is situated beside the Al Harray Residential Complex and is part of efforts to expand urban development and realize the ruler’s vision of building houses of worship close to residential communities. Covering an area of 1,504 square meters, the mosque accommodates approximately 300 worshipers. It features comprehensive facilities including an imam's residence, ablution areas, and restrooms. The architectural design combines Islamic tradition with simplicity, reflecting Sharjah’s urban identity.

This initiative is part of the department’s plan to meet the needs of new neighborhoods, keep pace with population growth, and enhance the mosque's role as an Islamic and community center that fosters cohesion and unity among citizens.
