The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Fiji inaugurated a new mosque in Seaqaqa, Vanua Levu on September 12, 2014.

The Inauguration of the new mosque was done by the District Commissioner Northern Region, Mr Alipate Bolalevu," The Jet newspaper has reported.

According to the newspaper, the inauguration ceremony was attended by more than 200 community members from all around Fiji and as well as guests from various Government Departments.

Fiji was introduced to Ahmadiyyat in the year 1961. From that time onwards, the members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Fiji have build mosques in their respective districts.

Vanua Levu already had three Ahmadiyya Mosques and Mission Houses. However, the Seaqaqa chapter, established in 1989, did not have a mosque due to the unavailability of appropriate land.

"A beautiful land area with a picturesque view was acquired for the purpose of building a mosque," the community said. The Ahmadiyya world leader, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmade gave the name ‘Masjid Noor’ for this mosque.

The foundation of the mosque was laid by the then Amir and Missionary in-charge of Fiji, Maulana Fazal Ullah Tariq on Friday, July 5, 2014.

The community says, the construction work progressed rapidly and a 53 feet by 35 feet mosque took shape in a short period of 9 weeks.

The total expense to build this mosque was about $120,000.
