The Mosque of Islamic Solidarity (Arabic: جامع التضامن الإسلامى, Somali: , مساجيدكا إسباهيسيگا) is a mosque located in Mogadishu, Somalia.
The Mosque of Islamic Solidarity was constructed in 1987 by Hamar Construction company with financial support from the Saudi Fahd bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud Foundation. It is the main mosque in Somalia's capital city, and an iconic building in Somali society.[1]
Following the start of the civil war in the early 1990s, the mosque closed down. It was later reopened in 2006 by the Islamic Courts Union, which began raising funds from the business community for intended renovations of parts of the building.[1] In 2015, the Federal Government of Somalia completed formal refurbishments on the mosque's infrastructure.[2]
The Mosque of Islamic Solidarity is the single largest mosque in the Horn of Africa. It is capable of accommodating up to 10,000 worshippers. The mosque also overlooks the Somali Sea.[1]
In 2012–2013, the mosque was renovated and rehabilitated by the Starsom Group, a local Somali contractor, under the funding of Turkiye Diyanet Foundation, a non-profit, non-governmental Turkish organization.[2]
