Masjid Location
LAGOS, NIGERIA:
The bustling city state of Lagos sits on the South-West corner of West African state of Nigeria. With a coast on the Atlantic Ocean, the city has for centuries served as a popular port of entry and exit for travelers coming to or leaving Nigeria.
Lagos is the most populous city in Africa, having an estimated population of over 20 million people. For several years, it served as the capital of Nigeria before the capital was moved to Abuja. However, it remains the commercial capital of the country, accounting for 60% of industrial and commercial activities and having the 4th-highest GDP of African cities.
Following from the foregoing, the dire need for the establishment of a Salafi Masjid is realized and the importance of a center from which the Salafi da’wah can Insha’Allah take root, is understood.
Masjid Proposed Details
Based on the population density of the area and to ensure efficient use of the land, it is proposed that the Masjid be composed of three floors with the capacity to accommodate about 600 attendees. It would consist of the following facilities to fulfil the needs of the community:
Ground Floor:

- Female Prayer Hall
- Female Ablution Area
