    The Historic Al-Nejashi Mosque

    The Historic Al-Nejashi Mosque in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, looted & destroyed, Built in the 7th Century, It’s the first Mosque in Africa, One of the oldest in the world it looks like this today The mosque is believed to have been built by companions of Prophet Muhammad, (Peace Be Upon Him).

    This is not acceptable by any means and it is an insult to Ethiopian Muslims.

    We have lost thousands of Tigrian Muslim and Christians. We had even pleaded with UAE to respect the land of Al Nejashi since its a holy land, but it seems they didn’t care. 

    Al Nejashi Mosque in Tigray is as old as Islam. It was built in honour of righteous Christian King who gave shelter to 1st Muslim refugees, including close relatives of  Prophet Mohammed(PBU), who had escaped persecution in Mecca.

    This was the mosque a few years ago after being fully restored by a Turkish Govt agency
