Qatar’s Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs has opened Qais bin Saad bin Ubadah Mosque in Muaither, the first smart mosque in the country.
The mosque is part of the ministry’s plan to build mosques in new residential areas as Qatar’s population grows.
How the Smart Mosque Works
The mosque uses smart systems to control how much electricity and water it uses.
Solar panels generate the power needed to run the mosque’s air-conditioning and lighting, cutting the building’s use of the regular power grid.
Water Recycling and Green Spaces
Water used for ablution is collected and reused. It supplies the mosque’s toilets and irrigates the landscaped areas around the building.
This has allowed the ministry to create green spaces around the mosque while cutting water waste.
Ministry’s Plans for More Smart Mosques
Mohammed bin Hamad Al Kuwari, Assistant Undersecretary for Da’wah and Mosques Affairs at the Ministry of Endowments, said the project came from cooperation between Awqaf and private companies, which helped bring smart systems and modern technology into the mosque’s construction.
He said the ministry will build more smart mosques across Qatar in the next phase, as part of its plan to keep up with the country’s growth.
Part of Wider National Goals
The mosque is tied to the ministry’s Strategic Objectives 2025-2030, which cover upgrading mosque infrastructure, improving religious services, and using technology in mosque management and utilities.
The project also connects to Qatar National Vision 2030’s goals for sustainable development and improving people’s quality of life.
