| 2014-10-08 |
| [ABNA.IR] Monrovia -- The Shia Moslem community in Liberia over the weekend dedicated a mosque and school building in the Brewerville community of Jah Tondo outside Monrovia. The mosque and school--Ahlul-Bayte (AS) Mosque and School or "Family of the Holy Prophet Mohammed Mosque and School"--is dedicated to unity among all faiths, as well as Liberians in general. The mosque and school projects were sponsored by a Moslem foundation dedicated to the Shia doctrine, the World Assembly of Ahlul-Bayte in London, led by a British Moslem, Seyeed Mohammed Musawi. An American firm, Comfort Aid International, also contributed immensely to the project. The project cost more than US$400,000. Speaking at a dedicatory prayer service on Saturday, the head of the Ahlul-Bayte (AS) Foundation, Sheikh Askary Kromah said the sponsors of the project were willing to initiate similar projects across the country but only if Moslems held together. Sheikh Kromah said, though the mosque and school were built to promote Islamic education in Liberia, such objective could not be obtained amid disunity. |
