Mosque for Women to Open in Kyrgyzstan
A new prayer room for women is being constructed at the Grand Mosque in Osh, Fergana Valley of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan.
According to IQNA’s branch in Central Asia, the Office for Muslims’ Religious Affairs of the country announced that the women section of the mosque will host more than 100 worshippers.
The construction project of the section has been estimated to cost 2 million Som, the Kyrgyz currency.
A number of government organizations cooperate in the project with the aim of providing a good opportunity for Muslim women to promote their Islamic and Quranic knowledge and preventing extremist views from developing among them.
Osh is the second largest city in Kyrgyzstan, located in the Fergana Valley in the south of the country and often referred to as the "capital of the south". The vast majority of people in Kyrgyzstan are Muslims, as 86 percent of the country's population are followers of Islam.
