King Mohammed VI, accompanied by Prince Moulay Ismail, accomplished the Jumu’a (Friday ) prayer at the Antananarivo Mosque in Madagascar.

At the end of the prayer, the Sovereign donated a consignment of the holy Quran Mushaf Al Mohammadi Acharif to the parties in charge of religious affairs in Madagascar.

The Sovereign handed copies of the Holy Quran to the representative of Malagasy senators and to the vice-president of the Malagasy Muslim Association.

The Quran copies, published by the Mohammed VI Foundation for Holy Quran Publication, will be distributed in the different mosques of Madagascar.

Upon his arrival at the mosque, the Sovereign was greeted by the Minister of Habous and Islamic Affairs, the King’s Chamberlain, representatives of senators, MPs, imams as well as several Malagasy officials.

Few days ago, King Mohammed VI unveiled the commemorative plate re-naming the Antsirabe Mosque as “Mohammed V Mosque,” which was renovated pursuant to the sovereign’s instructions.

Afterwards, the King performed Tahiyatul Masjid prayer at the mosque and donated a consignment of the holy Quran to the president of the committee in charge of managing the Hanafi-Sunni mosque Issack Hassim.

The Quran copies, published by the Mohammed VI Foundation for Holy Quran Publication, will be distributed in the different mosques of Madagascar.

At the end of this visit, Abdelhak Lamrini, historiographer of the Kingdom, offered the King two pictures of late king Mohammed V giving the Friday lecture at the said mosque.

The second picture of this album brings together late king Mohammed V, who was leading the Friday prayer, and prince Moulay Hassan who was crown prince back then.

For his part, president of the mosque management committee offered the King an album of three pictures of the royal family inside the mosque.
