Almere - Almere Poort is becoming more useful.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community Tuesday signed a purchase agreement with the municipality for the construction of a mosque at the Cascade Park.
The park also has other offices, public facilities and housing.
The Ahmadiyya community, who is building the place of worship, is a movement within Islam and the community in the Netherlands has been organized since 1947.
There are about 1500 Ahmadi Muslims in the Netherlands.
According to the municipality of Almere, the size of the mosque is about 275 m2 and it offers space for 100 worshipers.
The mosque will also have a minaret, but there will be no call to prayer sounded from atop the minaret.
The visitors to the mosque will be able to park their cars in the mosque grounds.
It is now up to the Ahmadiyya community to finalize and submit the construction plans of the mosque to the town.
The design will then be reviewed for the engineering and other welfare requirements.
After six weeks, the plan will be available for inspection and everyone will be able to file their own coments or any objections.

AsslamoAlekumwrwb, As we all know that Muslims used to be the rulers of the world and they were attacked & conquered by the Christians,seeing that we are going to build Mosques in Europe makes me so happy & excited. It seems like we are getting our own things back that we lost thousand years ago in a peaceful manner by building mosques and other institutes.
