The Namazgja Mosque was inaugurated on Thursday, October 10, in the presence of the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The mufti of the mosque, Gazment Bilal Teqja, told "Albania Live" about the meeting with the Turkish president and the gift he gave to the mosque.
"How will it work? There are board members who are representatives from Turkey and support us with their experience, because they have more experience. While decision-making is Albanian.
Erdogan's message? He congratulated me and congratulated me on this work. He told me: 'I have faith that you will do it in the best way'. He even donated a Koran that was in calligraphy, historical. We took him to the lower premises of the mosque. He left it as a gift to the mosque and the imam. May God reward the president of Turkey, who has followed this issue very carefully, but also the Turkish people who have contributed, because these are donations of the Turkish people. Also the Albanian state because they also have a contribution. While most of the land belonged to the Muslim Community.
The interior holds 5,000 believers to pray, together with the courtyard, it has a capacity of 8,000. But the numbers of forgiveness of Eid are several times more than that. May God help us", said Teqja.
