Inside Al-Fatih Mosque
The Al-Fatih Mosque (also known as Al-Fatih Islamic Centre/Grand Mosque) (Arabic: مسجد الفاتح; transliterated: Masjid al-Fatih) is Bahrain's largest mosque. The huge domed Al-Fatih Mosque, located in Juffair will soon house the new National Library which is due to open in 2006. The mosque was built by the late "Sheikh Isa Bin Salman Al khalifa" during the early 1990s. It is named after Ahmed Al Fateh, the conqueror of Bahrain.
Besides being a place of Islamic worship, people of all communities are welcome at the Al-Fatih Mosque, and it is one of the major tourist attractions.
