Work on Uthim Mosque Funded by MP Nazim's Family to Begin Within Two Months

The Uthim Council has announced that the practical work for a mosque being offered by the family of Colonel (Retired) Mohamed Nazim, Member of Parliament for Maafannu Uturu constituency in Haa Alif Atoll, is scheduled to begin within the next two months. The mosque is being built in the name of Nazim's mother. The council stated that the concept design for the mosque reflects Uthim's history, culture, and heritage. During a visit to Uthim, Nazim inspected the land designated for the mosque. Uthim Council President Abdullah Rashid “Thiladun” said that since the construction of the island's harbor, a mosque with a capacity for 150 people has been planned in the harbor area, and work on this matter has been carried out over the past 11 years. He expressed that the hopeful response from Nazim brought great joy to the islanders and the council, and the council expressed gratitude to Nazim and his family. Rashid noted that Uthim has become a historical island visited by many people, and having a mosque in the harbor area is a strong desire of the residents. He added that the island currently has only a small traditional mosque and another mosque built 20 years ago. The council also revealed that after demolishing the 20-year-old mosque, it has been decided to build an Islamic Center. The council aims to officially commence the practical work for the newly built mosque within the next two months.
