Haqqani opens new mosque

KABUL (Ariana News): The acting minister of interior on Sunday inaugurated a new mosque in Paktia province and stressed the need for unity among the people and tribes of the country.

According to the ministry, the mosque was built on the recommendation of the leadership of the ministry of interior and a businessman and cost 15 million Afghanis. The mosque can accommodate 400 worshipers at a time.

Sirajuddin Haqqani also said that while foreigners said during the war that the Islamic Emirate were “destroyers” of the country, the opposite is true. He said the IEA has implemented construction projects across the country and is a “builder” and not a “destroyer”.

“With the blessing of Jihad and the support of the people, with the cooperation of the countrymen and other good Muslims, the construction works are continuing all over the country,” said Haqqani.

According to him, the IEA’s Supreme Leader Akhundzada Hibatullah has instructed a number of ministries, including the Hajj ministry, to build mosques along highways and ring roads for the convenience of travellers and ordinary citizens.

“Although some sides are still accusing the Islamic Emirate of their intentions, history will prove the true and limitless love of the Islamic Emirate to the people,” Haqqani added.

He further said: “We gave our happiness to the nation, we lost our happiness to see the orphans. If we sacrificed a lot, but with the grace of Allah, we won the independence of the country.”

Haqqani also said that the IEA were elected leaders not because of talk and promises, but because of religion, good behavior and gentleness. He also emphasized that the more united and coherent the people are, the more the enemies will be defeated.
