Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission inaugurates new Accra headquarters complex
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission in Accra has unveiled a major landmark with the inauguration of its new regional mosque, headquarters and mission house in Accra.
The new complex contains a three–storey mosque for men and women, a conference facility on the upper level, a mission house and regional administrative offices.
It also has guest rooms, storerooms, ablution blocks for both genders, a minaret, a media room and a generator set that supports the entire establishment.
The Mission also got a brand new pickup to enhance missionary mobility across the region.
Inaugurating the complex, the Regional President, Alhajj Kofi Adam Yamoah, who was the major benefactor of the project, said it was the outcome of a personal vow he made during childhood.
“Allah has done His favour upon me to build another place of worship in His name,” he stated, explaining that his early exposure to mosque life inspired a lifelong desire to support the faith.
He indicated that the project would be one of the Mission’s most significant investments in the capital and would strengthen its administrative and spiritual presence in Greater Accra.
Journey
Alhajj Yamoah revealed that he acquired the land in 2005 on the advice of a neighbour.
“My late wife agreed that the location would befit a mosque project, and we decided to sacrifice it to the Jamaat,” he added.
He explained that administrative adjustments within the Mission shaped several redesigns until the structure assumed its current regional status.
“Times became good and we decided to build a mosque for the Madina Jamaat, but the plan changed as the administration changed,” he said.
He then urged members to protect the edifice and use it with dignity.
For his part, the Head and Missionary-in-Charge of the Mission, Alhajj Maulana Noor Mohammed Bin Salih, praised Alhajj Yamoah for his vision and dedication to the project. "It takes a courageous believer to do what he has done,” he said.
Alhajj Bin Salih then announced that the new facility would be named "Masjid Adam".
He further urged Ahmadi Muslims to recognise Ghana’s religious freedom, comparing Ghana’s environment to Pakistan’s restrictive laws on Ahmadis.
“In Pakistan, Ahmadis have been constitutionally banned from calling their place of worship a mosque," he said.
He explained that this contrast showed the value of Ghana’s tolerance. He praised the country for allowing Muslims, Christians and traditionalists to live peacefully.
“We must show gratitude to Allah for the freedom and affection that He has given us and which our countrymen and women have also given us,” Alhajj Bin Salih added.
