🕌 From Makkah to the Balkans: A Carpet of Faith

BETH – Sarajevo

Under the directive of His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Abdullatif bin Abdulaziz Al-Sheikh, Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through its Religious Attaché at the Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, has completed the refurbishment of King Fahd Mosque in Sarajevo with 2,100 square meters of high-quality new carpet.

The new carpet is made of natural wool, specially designed to withstand extreme heat and cold, making it ideal for the region’s climate. This initiative reflects the Kingdom’s dedication to elevating the spiritual experience for worshippers and enhancing the sanctity and comfort of mosques worldwide.

🌍 A Mosque… and a Message

This step comes as part of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing efforts to support Islamic communities globally, particularly in the Balkans, by promoting coexistence, moderation, and tolerance through tangible support for places of worship.

♻️ Sustainability in Spirit: 7 More Mosques Benefit

In cooperation with the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the mosque’s previous carpet was repurposed to cover seven other mosques in various cities and villages across the country — a sustainable gesture aimed at improving worship spaces with practical resourcefulness.

🕌 A Gift That Endures

King Fahd Mosque is one of the largest mosques in the Balkan region, accommodating up to 1,500 worshippers, with multiple levels and expansive facilities. Inaugurated more than 25 years ago, it was presented as a gift from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, serving as:

“A beacon of faith, learning, and unity – echoing the Kingdom’s commitment to noble Islamic values.”
 

📌 BETH Insight:
It’s not just a carpet — it’s a message woven with threads of faith, diplomacy, and continuity…
from the heart of Makkah to the heart of Europe.

🕌 Od Meke do Balkana: Tepih vjere

Po nalogu Njegove Ekselencije šeika dr. Abdul Latifa bin Abdulaziza Al-Šeika, ministra za islamska pitanja, da'wu i uputstva u Kraljevini Saudijskoj Arabiji, Kraljevstvo je, putem vjerskog atašea pri Ambasadi Saudijske Arabije u Bosni i Hercegovini, završilo radove na obnavljanju tepiha u džamiji kralja Fahda u Sarajevu, postavljanjem novog tepiha površine 2100 kvadratnih metara, vrhunskog kvaliteta.

Novi tepih izrađen je od prirodne vune otporne na visoke i niske temperature, prilagođen klimatskim uslovima regije, s ciljem pružanja udobnosti i duhovne topline vjernicima.

🌍 Džamija… i poruka

Ovaj korak dolazi u okviru trajnog angažmana Saudijske Arabije u službi islama i muslimana širom svijeta, te jačanja prisustva Kraljevstva u islamskom djelovanju na Balkanu, uz promicanje suzivota, umjerenosti i tolerancije.

♻️ Održivost u praksi: 7 novih džamija s koristi

U saradnji s Islamskom zajednicom u Bosni i Hercegovini, prethodno korišteni tepih iz džamije je ponovno upotrijebljen i iskorišten za opremanje još 7 džamija u različitim gradovima i selima, u cilju poboljšanja uslova za obavljanje ibadeta.

🕌 Poklon koji traje

Džamija kralja Fahda jedna je od najvećih džamija na Balkanu, s kapacitetom od oko 1500 vjernika, više spratova i prostranim sadržajima. Otvorena je prije više od 25 godina, kao poklon Kraljevine Saudijske Arabije narodu Bosne i Hercegovine, te služi kao:

„Svjetionik vjere, znanja i zajedništva – koji odražava posvećenost Kraljevstva plemenitim islamskim vrijednostima.“

📌 BETH Komentar:
Ovo nije samo tepih – to je poruka satkana nitima vjere i tihe diplomatije,
od srca Meke do srca Evrope.
