Grand Mosque of Copenhagen
The Grand Mosque of Copenhagen is a mosque built in 2014 which is be the first purpose-built mosque in Denmark and one of the largest in Europe.[1][2]
The Tabah Foundation, an Islamic consultancy firm based in United Arab Emirates, is planning to fund a mosque planned by Jan Wenzel and Lars Tuxen. This mosque is expected to cost 427 million euro.[1] The mosque has no minarets and is shaped like a crescent moon. It will serve 3,000 worshipers and feature a multi-cultural center and student housing.[1]
The mosque is planned to be built in Ørestad, Copenhagen.[1] The city is willing to agree to the mosque, but will only allow one of the plans.[3]
On June 2007, several Copenhagen imams participated in a Hizb ut-Tahrir convention. The imams explained that they would like to work on common projects, such as the Grand Mosque, with Hizb ut-Tahrir or any good-willing partner.[4]
