📍: NATIONAL MOSQUE ABUJA • Growing up in the Buj, I’ve always been so fascinated by the architectural work of art that is THE NATIONAL MOSQUE. Every time we drove by I wondered how beautiful it would look on the inside of it looked this beautiful from outside 🥺 I was so excited to finally visit and I must say, it is a work of art. • The mosque was built in 1984 and is open to the non-Muslim public, except during congregational prayers. • Note: dress decently and cover up before visiting. • 📍: 1012 Sani Abacha Way, Central Business Dis 900103, Abuja

Abuja National Mosque is a place of worship but as a national edifice, it’s not only limited to muslims. As a Nigerian, you can visit the National mosque. I visited as a tourist and it was an awesome experience. I visited on a Friday which isn’t the best day to visit but I was still shown around. The first thing to do when you visit, is to let the security officials know you are a tourist and would love to tour the premises. I was directed to the administrative office where I met the person in charge who also doubles as a tour guide. Inform them if you’d like someone to show you around the mosque. I did. He mentioned that the best time of the day to visit are times outside the Muslim’s prayer times. You can visit around 8:00am to 1:00pm, 2:00pm to 3:0pm, and 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Do not visit on National Celebration days like Democracy or Independence day as the security will be tight and you may not be granted access. After you make your intentions known at the administrative office, you can then take photos within or outside the premises. In all, I enjoyed the tour.

The National Mosque, located in Abuja, Nigeria, is an impressive architectural and cultural landmark that is worth a visit. The mosque, which was completed in 2009, is one of the largest mosques in Africa and can accommodate up to 15,000 worshippers at once. The design of the mosque is striking, featuring a mix of modern and traditional elements. The central dome is surrounded by four minarets, and the interior is adorned with intricate designs and calligraphy. Visitors are welcome to explore the mosque, although it's important to dress modestly and remove your shoes before entering. The mosque is a peaceful and serene place, and it's easy to spend an hour or two admiring the architecture and soaking up the atmosphere. While the National Mosque is a religious site, it's also a cultural landmark that provides an insight into Islam in Nigeria. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and they are happy to answer any questions you might have about the mosque and Islam in general. Overall, the National Mosque is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Abuja. Its stunning architecture, peaceful atmosphere, and cultural significance make it a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

A fantastic Muslims' worship and learning center, and also serves as a community center for many Islamic compliant activities; it's also a great place to discover Islam. I've been enjoying the National Mosque's serenity, tranquility and convince for more than 3 decades. I recommend anyone (Muslims and non-Muslims alike) to visit and enjoy the values of Islam, worship, learning and interactions.

Located in the city centre, the mosque is huge and is sometimes referred to as the National mosque. The structure is huge and the dome is gold platted facilities glistering the city. Jumaat prayers are observed here on Friday for all Muslim faithfuls and other daily prayers. There is a large parking space and the mosque is large to accommodate many worshipers.

The Abuja National Mosque, also known as the Nigerian National Mosque, is the national mosque of Nigeria, a country with a substantial Muslim population. The history of the mosque began in the eighties, when it was decided to move the capital of Nigeria from Lagos to Abuja. In 1981 a group of prominent local Muslims decided to request the construction of a national mosque and to contribute to the project with donations. The construction work was entrusted to the AIM Consultants Ltd and ended in 1984. The four minarets are high about 120 meters, while the large central dome is 60 meters. The building includes a library and a conference room. The complex also includes a conference center able to serve five hundred people, the office of the Islamic Center and the residential facilities for imams and muezzins. The mosque is located in the Independence Avenue, in front of the National Church of Nigeria.

Magnificent architecture 😍 We had our personal tour guide, he was courteous and polite. Women may have to wear extra clothing (hijab) if not Muslim. It also has a mall on the side. I was opportuned to walk in but they were renovating so I couldn’t capture as much.

Our small group was given a tour about the 🕌 a very pleasant and cheerful tour guide gave us some facts about the 🕌. I wasn't appropriately attired which was no prob the women in the group got loner hijabs so we could enter the mosque.

For a Moment, a movement took me to a monument. It was good for my mental health. And speaking of wealth, you can have it here. As I pass by, I buy the idea of taking super shots under the hot sun, and I am still a son of the soil. Allahu Akbar!

The mosque is located in the capital city, Abuja, and is situated on Independence Avenue, across from the National Christian Centre.[3] It includes a library and a conference room.[1] The complex includes a conference centre capable of serving five hundred persons, the office for the Islamic Centre, and residential facilities for the imam and muezzin. During construction, the general contractors were Lodigiani Nigeria Ltd., while design consultancy was provided by AIM Consultants Ltd.

One of the beautiful and wonderful architecture i have ever seen. The calmness and the internal environment with beautiful decorations will give the worshipers full attention to concentrate on their prayers. I will like every muslim to visit this beautiful mosque for tourism. May Allah reward all those who contribute towards development of this mosque

Such a beautiful architectural design😍 Ma Sha Allah ❤️❤️❤️

Been here several times on different occasions.... The pictures below are from a school's end of the year ceremony held at the conference Hall of the Abuja National Mosque. The hall is spacious with beautiful and comfortable chairs. The Halls can be booked for weddings, graduations, lectures etc that are not going to contradict Islamic doctrines

Very good structure, enough space for worship with tight security. A place of worship to be.

This mosque has 6 entrances. Magnificent structure with gold plated roof. Nice building

The mosque was a beautiful art piece of architecture, going in was the Bateman that took me to the secretary's office after I was asked to cover my head with scalf I had an hijab so that wasn't a problem , the secretary was very courteous and polite and told the tour guide to take me round the mosque. I love it from the people to the building it was worth the trip 🌝🌝

Building is really impressive, absolutely amazing view, we came just before pray, so didn't went in, I'm not Muslim, but security and everyone very friendly, and place worth to visit. As well it have shopping mall, where you can buy different stuff.

It is the central mosque built and maintained by the government just like the christian center in the heart of the City of Abuja, the Nigerian capital. It is a place of daily worship for the Muslim faithful but filled to capacity on Fridays. It also serve as an Islamic research center.

The place is good with enough parking lot

Perfect Architecture and aesthetics. For a great photo session, meet with the admin to get permission to take pictures. It's very flexible and the security guys are supportive

A beautiful place for relaxation

Everything here is well done.

The national worship centre for adherents to the religion of peace (Islam) in the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), Abuja built nearly three and a half decades ago.

It's an ultra modern worship place for muslims and also with conference centers for events.

Apart from being a worship place, you can also get good oil perfumes, nice Rugs, materials for making clothes just to mention a few. And if you're a lady please try getting a head tie because you won't go in without one. But if by any chance you do, you might see one of ladies who work there and they might provide a head tie.

Real Religious place of worship

Love it

A very nice place to pray and shop for items from Saudi

I gave this five stars because it is a large mosque and many people attend Friday prayers and a good number of people attend the remaining prayers especially Maghrib and Isha. You feel wonderful praying in such a large mosque because you feel how small you are and this increases your awareness of the Almighty. It also has a small shopping mall where you can get things like Islamic books, perfume, some fabric and so on. I also saw a mosque clinic there but the clinic was closed when I went. Muslim funeral prayers as well as facilities for washing Muslims that have passed away are available. Even non-muslims seeking to know more about Islam can visit.

A very nice place to visit

Very cool, twas only the zackzaky protestors that initially scared me, otherwise it was a spiritually rewarding place.

Well kept. I love praying here. May Allah accept our ibada.

Its very excited

The office staffs are friendly they treat customers well.

The Abuja National Mosque is the most recognizable religious building in the city, attracting a huge number of visitors every year. For many Muslims who live in the city, this building is a very important spiritual center. Unlike most mosques in the world, not only Muslims can enter the Abuja mosque, the entrance to the public is closed only during prayer. The construction of the Abuja Mosque was completed in 1984. At the corners of the main building there are four minarets with spiral staircases inside, the height of which is 120 meters.

The Abuja National Mosque is a large worship centre. I go there every Friday to pray Jumu'ah. It's a gigantic structure, standing tall in the earth of Abuja.
