Morocco’s Ministry Introduces New Measures to Prepare Mosques Ahead of Ramadan

Morocco’s Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs is reviewing the condition of mosques nationwide to protect worshippers and prevent structural risks, Minister Ahmed Toufiq said during a parliamentary session.

Hawzah News Agency- Since the launch of a national rehabilitation program in 2010, authorities restored 2,069 mosques across the country.

Toufiq underlined that mosque safety stands as a core responsibility for the ministry, given the social and religious role these spaces play in daily life.

He said the ministry seeks to ensure that worshippers pray in secure and dignified conditions, through a process that starts with inspection, continues with rehabilitation, and ends with reopening once safety criteria meet national standards.

Ahead of Ramadan, the ministry also rolled out a series of practical measures to prepare mosques for increased attendance.

These efforts include maintenance work, new carpeting, and equipment for 902 mosques, as well as large-scale cleaning campaigns.

Authorities also assigned security and cleaning services to maintain order and hygiene throughout the holy month.
