Trawally, Amir of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, thanked Almighty Allah for ensuring the smooth construction and inauguration of the mosque.
“We should try to offer our five daily prayers in this mosque. It is one of the strategic mosques in the country because it is on the high way, whereby pedestrians could easily stop and pray in the mosque.” he said.
He reminded that when Muhammed S.A.W migrated from Mecca to Madina his principal concern and first target was to build a mosque.
He thus thanked all the donors for their efforts in the construction process, saying Allah will reward them abundantly for their efforts.
Oustas Ishafat Ahmad Naveed, area missionary in Central River Region, revealed that they’ve spent over one million dalasis on the construction of the mosque.

Dr. Nasir Ahmat, a donor, described mosque as a house of Almighty Allah and that it was destined to be constructed in the community of Lamin Koto.
He subsequently urged the residents in the area to now pray their five daily prayers in the mosque and always keep it clean.
Representing the governor of CRR, Hon. Sainey Mbaye, deputy governor, described the inauguration as another joyful one in the historic day of happiness, justifying that constructing such a mosque is very good for the residents and Muslims as a whole.
“Coming all the way from Germany and build here a mosque is a great thing,” he said.
He commended the donors for their support to the community of Laminkoto, adding that Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at contributes immensely to national development.
Nurdin Mbaye, member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, expressed delight in the mass turn out of their members at the inauguration.
“The construction of this mosque is important for the Ahmadiyya community in the area because it is the only Ahmadiyya mosque we have in the area.” he said.
