When rational Islam mentioned, all eyes on Islamic Center of Hamburg
During these 60 years, whenever there has been a talk of rational and moral Islam, all eyes have been on the Islamic Center of Hamburg. This is due to the spirit of piety, spirituality, and sincerity, which was founded from the beginning by the order of Grand Ayatollah Borujerdi and at the request and initiative of a group of trusted and pious Iranian businessmen in Hamburg, and by the late Mohagheghi Lahiji
The unveiling ceremony of the book “Shiite Ambassador in the West”, a description of the efforts of Hojat al-Islam Mohammad Mohagheghi Lahiji, the first Imam of Imam Ali (a.s.) Mosque in the Islamic Center of Hamburg, Germany, was held on Sunday, July 11, 2021, at the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

Following the ceremony, the video message of Hojat al-Islam Dr. Mohammad Hadi Mofateh, the current director of the Islamic Center of Hamburg, was displayed. In a part of his speech, referring to verse 108 of Surah Tawbah, Hojat al-Islam Mufateh said, “Imam Ali (a.s.) Mosque in Hamburg is a perfect example of this noble verse: “لَمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَىٰ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ” (A mosque founded on Godwariness from the [very] first day is worthier that you stand in it [for prayer]) (Quran, Surah At-Tawbah, verse: 108).”
“60 years have passed since the foundation of this mosque by the late Mohagheghi Lahiji and by the order of Grand Ayatollah Borujerdi. During these 60 years, different people came and went in this mosque, and different imams were in charge of the mosque and the center and transferred this responsibility to the next Imam,” continued the head of the Islamic Center of Hamburg.
“Different people attended this mosque, worked, prayed, and left, and it has always continued to shine throughout continental Europe and in Germany,” he continued.
