    ​Un Complexe Magnifique et Complet. ​Dès l’arrivée, le visiteur est frappé par la beauté du bâtiment. Alliant modernité et tradition, le complexe impressionne par la finesse de ses détails et ses volumes généreux. Bien plus qu’une salle de prière, le site a été pensé comme un centre de vie sociale comprenant : ​Des espaces de culte vastes et apaisants. ​Des salles d'enseignement dédiées à l'apprentissage et au soutien scolaire. ​Un espace de restauration et de convivialité pour partager un thé ou un repas. ​N'hésite pas , l'accueil est chaleureux vous serez toujours la bienvenue .

    Avec un groupe de 12 personnes nous avons visité la Mosquée mardi et nous avons été ravis. Découverte de ce lieu de culte et ce lieu de vie. Nous avons été accueillis par Mourad ,un accueil très, très sympathique,il nous a fait découvrir leur culture. Après la visite nous avons pris le repas ensemble, un moment convivial. Encore merci à lui.
