Accra: The Head and Missionary-in-Charge of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, Alhajj Maulana Noor Mohammed Bin Salih, has named the organisation’s new Greater Accra Regional Mosque complex as “Masjid Adam”.

The facility was named after Alhajj Kofi Adam Yamoah, a major benefactor of the project who happened to be the Greater Accra Regional President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission.

The mission, on November 16, 2025, unveiled a major landmark in Accra with the inauguration of its new regional mosque, headquarters and mission house in Accra.

The new complex located at Ashaley Botwe 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 had 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 Yamoah, said the facilities were an outcome of a personal vow he made to Allah during childhood.

He noted that the teachings of the Holy Quran and the discipline he received from his parents influenced his decision to give back to the Muslim community.

“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.

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.

“My special gratitude goes to my current wife, Hajiah Sadida Afia Yamoah, who has graciously devoted her precious life to my well-being. She advised that this house of Allah be built regardless of the cost, to give it the best architectural expression,” Kofi Yamoah noted,” 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.

For his part, the Head and Missionary-in-Charge of the Mission, Alhajj 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.

He further urged Ahmadi Muslims to recognise Ghana’s religious freedom, comparing Ghana’s environment to Pakistan’s restrictive laws against 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.
