Assalamu Alaikum, I\u2019m deeply honoured and excited to present to you the Annual Report for 2023. A year packed with activities and expansion on all fronts, Alhamdulillah. I would like to start by thanking everyone that has helped and contributed in whatever capacity in bringing us to this point. In every single event or activity there are many people involved, some are known and others not, but all deserve a word of gratitude for their help, service and generosity.

While the activities and services at our current mosque, and those emanating from it, take up the most space in our public sphere, the Seville Mosque Foundation continues to work quietly but unceasingly on the project of the Seville Islamic Cultural Center. Over the past few months, we have encountered new potential partners that have shown great interest and willingness to help with the construction of the project, and we hope that this will yield positive results, Insha Allah. Conscious that acquiring the land will be a benchmark in the development of the project, we have been evaluating other options…<\/p>\n Read more<\/a>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The work to establish the Mosque, Islamic Cultural Center and Awqaf of Seville while maintaining our presence and activities in the current center is funded through sponsorship, donations and the local Muslim community. The local community, to the extent of its possibilities, contributes widely with great effort and generosity. The Foundation maintains a transparent and simultaneous management of the administration and correct utilization of funds related to the regular operation of the current center and its activities, the collection and distribution of Zakaat, and the funds destined for the Mosque, the Islamic Cultural Center and Awqaf of Seville.

During this trip, Oumar Kanout\u00e9, in his efforts to help with the Seville Mosque Foundation’s project to build a mosque and Islamic cultural center, invited us to accompany him on a charity trip to Kuwait.

The Seville Mosque Foundation continues to work unceasingly on the Seville Islamic Cultural Center project while maintaining and promoting its local activities and services. The last year was marked by the gradual recovery and abandonment of post-pandemic restrictions, and other global conditions that have affected us all in a more or less direct way. There have also been important changes in the PGOU that have affected several of the land proposals that the Foundation has considered.

In July 2020, the Seville Mosque Foundation bought the premises, the current mosque, where we have been since the beginning of 2000 in the center of Seville. This building was originally purchased by Oumar Kanoute, through his foundation, in 2007, when we were tenants and were going to be forcibly evicted. The board of trustees of the Seville Mosque Foundation decided to make this purchase after much consideration and advice, for various reasons. One, the annual savings for the Foundation for the contributions made to the Kanoute Foundation; that it will benefit all those who have already contributed to the…<\/p>\n Read more<\/a>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Assalamu Alaikum, Today marks six months since the state of alarm was officially anounced in Spain. And while we seem to have overcome the worst of it, from a medical perspective, it is still very present in our day to day llife, in every conversation, with certain limitations, travel restrictions, impositions, etc, that have undoubtebly affected us all in different ways. If we are not careful we can find our selves constantly reacting, in whichever way, to everything around us, rather than acting. Overwhelmed by the events and mass media feeding, with a lack of reflexion and action. Say: \u00b4Nothing…<\/p>\n Read more<\/a>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Assalamu \u2018Alaikum, As you may already know, in 2007 whilst playing football for Seville FC, Frederic Oumar Kanoute helped secure our current Musallah. Twelve years later, in Ramadan 2019, Oumar Kanoute further pledged to help raise \u20ac1m for the first purpose-built Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre in Seville in 700 years.
