A new mosque project has entered its first phase in Hamad Town, set to serve hundreds of residents in a densely populated area.

Municipal Council member Abdulla Mubarak Bilal Al Qubaisi, representing the Ninth Constituency in the Northern Governorate, highlighted the start of work following the completion of approvals and site preparations.

He praised the cooperation of the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments and the Sunni Endowments Directorate, noting their role in facilitating procedures for the project.

Al Qubaisi also commended the donor and his family for funding the construction, describing the initiative as a reflection of Bahrain’s strong culture of community support and charitable giving.

The mosque will be built on a 1,349.4-square-metre plot in Block 1205, with a total built-up area of 396.74 square metres.

It will include a main prayer hall accommodating around 200 worshippers, a separate section for women with a capacity of 45, ablution facilities, modern amenities, and a residential unit for the muezzin.

The project follows the removal of a temporary prayer structure on the site, paving the way for construction to begin.

Officials said the development will enhance access to religious services and support the needs of residents in the surrounding area.
