Located in the Nyamirambo Sector of Kigali, the Islamic Cultural Centre is home to one of the largest mosques in Rwanda, established in 1979. It was the first Muslim school in Rwanda and part of an initiative to establish Muslim centres across Africa with support from Libya and the UAE. The mosque played a significant role during the Genocide, as some people sought refuge there. It remains a vibrant centre for Islamic culture, attracting large congregations for Friday prayers and Islamic holidays such as Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha. Source: NEWTIMES
