Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Monday laid foundation stone for a new mosque in Atthwajan, in the outskirts of Srinagar. The event was attended by religious personalities, community leaders and local residents of Naz colony Sempora.
Addressing the gathering, he highlighted the mosque’s vital role and concept of “Jamaat” in Islam as a way to connect with the almighty.
He emphasised that Masjid is not only as a place of worship but as a hub of addressing community issues—be it social, economic, or otherwise.
He reminded the people of the mosque’s historical role during the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), serving as the heart of the community where crucial societal issues were addressed.(KNS)
