Minister of Islamic Affairs Dr. Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed has said the Islamic Library being opened tonight at the King Salman Mosque will provide a highly conducive environment for Islamic scholars and researchers.
Located on the third floor of the King Salman Mosque, the new library will house more than 15,000 books focused on Islamic knowledge and studies. Dr. Shaheem noted that the facility will be especially beneficial for students pursuing Islamic education and those engaged in academic research.
He said the opening of the Islamic Library fulfills a presidential pledge to establish Islamic libraries in centers across the country. A foreign university has partnered in this effort and has pledged to donate 60,000 books to support libraries being developed in multiple regions.
Among the libraries being set up are those in the Islamic centers of HA. Dhidhdhoo, R. Ungoofaaru, Thinadhoo City, and Addu City. Books for additional libraries in other atolls have also been arranged as part of the initiative.
Dr. Shaheem described the library at King Salman Mosque as a valuable addition that will serve the needs of students, scholars, and the wider public interested in Islamic knowledge.
