On Sunday, during the official inauguration of the Great Mosque of Algiers, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune highlighted the importance of this monument not only as a place of prayer but also as a center for promoting the values of wassatiya, or Islamic centrism.
This approach, which advocates moderation and the middle way, is essential in the fight against extremism and fundamentalist ideologies.

By highlighting its ability to serve as a space of peace and gathering for all citizens, regardless of their faith, the message is clear: the Great Mosque of Algiers is a symbol of unity in diversity, reflecting the values of an open and inclusive society.
President Tebboune’s visit to the library of the Great Mosque was also an opportunity to call for the enrichment of the library with reference books in various scientific fields, particularly in economics, law, and Islamic finance.
This initiative aims to make the library a center of knowledge and learning, emphasizing the importance of education and continuous training in understanding and practicing faith.
