Join Kanoute to help build the first purpose-built mosque in Seville in 700 years

With your generosity, you have helped Frederic Oumar Kanoute fulfil his pledge to raise at least 1 million for the Seville Mosque – May Allah reward you immensely.

The amount raised is indeed a great blessing, and will be a huge boost for the total project cost, estimated at 12 million Euros. This will be the central (Jami’) Mosque of this European city, hence the high cost. So, if you see that we're continuing to ask for help, it’s still very much needed! 

Thirteen years ago, in 2007, Kanoute first helped the Muslim community of Seville by purchasing this musallah - a converted commercial unit that has been serving the Muslims of the city. 


Since then the community has grown bigger and with it the need and desire to have a dignified place of worship and a centre for the Muslim community. With this intention, Kanoute has joined this campaign to help the project become a reality - with your help, InshAllah.

The first purpose-built mosque in Seville in 700 years

The great legacy of Islam in Spain is still present in every city today, and which attracts millions of visitors every year. The contribution of this period of history (Al-Andalus), to the sciences, arts, philosophy, and society in general, are remarkable. 

The context is now obviously different, and this Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre will be a positive contribution by both serving the religious needs of Muslims and be open to all members of the community, including non-Muslims. Thus helping to dispel misconceptions about Muslims and Islam.


A benefit for Muslims from all over the world

Seville is the capital city of Andalusia, which attracts millions of international visitors each year. A large percentage of these visitors are Muslims. 

The Muslim population of the city is around thirty thousand. Although there are several converted small spaces in the city for Muslims to pray, there is no purpose-built mosque to allow the Muslims to worship in a dignified way. 
The Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre will thus not only serve the religious needs of local Muslims but also become a global centre, visited by the hundreds of thousands of Muslims and non-Muslims who visit Seville each year.

As the majority of the Muslims in Seville are first generation of immigrants with very limited financial means, the cost of building a Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre is beyond their capacity - which is why we need your help.


About Seville Mosque Foundation 

The Seville Mosque Foundation was registered in 2004 with the aim of establishing a Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre in Seville. 

Note: Seville Mosque is a registered charitable foundation in Spain. EU taxpayers should be able to get tax reliefs for donations to any charity in a EU country, in the same way as if you donated to a charity in your home EU country.

The Kanoute story is now part of the modern history of Andalusia, we invite you to support this project and also become a part of the history of Andalusia. Make this a part of your Sadaqa Jariya.

Ramadan is nearly over - have you made the most of it? ☪️

Assalamu alaikum dear friend,

We hope this email finds you and your loved ones in the best of health. 

We wanted to reach out to thank you for your ongoing support - with your generosity, you have helped Frederic Oumar Kanoute fulfill his pledge to raise at least one million for the Seville Mosque – May Allah reward you immensely.

We’re one step closer to building the first purpose-built mosque in over 700 years - but we still need your help. The total cost of the project is understandably much higher (estimated 12 million Euros), as this will InshAllah be the central (Jami‘) Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre of a major European city. 

On these last few nights of Ramadan, as we seek out Laylatul Qadr and increase our worship, and prayers - we ask that you donate once again to the Seville mosque project. We need your help to make this dream of the first purpose-built mosque in 700+ years, into a reality. 

Help the 30,000+ Muslims of Seville, plus the millions of tourists who visit each year, have their first purpose-built masjid. We truly cannot achieve this goal without you. 

Take advantage of the blessings of donating in Ramadan, and Laylatul Qadr- where one deed can get you a lifetime of rewards.
