The newly opened Al-Jawhara bint Abdulaziz Al-Dawood Mosque in Tabuk’s Iskan neighborhood serves as a shining example of modern, eco-friendly design intertwined with community-focused services. Hailed as one of the Kingdom’s largest smart mosques, it seamlessly integrates advanced monitoring systems to regulate water and electricity usage, ensuring responsible consumption and energy efficiency.

According to Abdulaziz Al-Furaij, Director of Mosque Operations at the Integrated Mosques Company, the facility supports all community segments—children, women, men, and individuals with disabilities—through thoughtful design and special technologies. Notably, the mosque’s floor stands a mere 20 centimeters above ground level, enabling easy, independent access for the elderly and people with disabilities. Additionally, the lighting in its minaret changes during the call to prayer, acting as a visual cue for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Al-Furaij also highlights plans for expanded facilities in coordination with the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance, and notes that similar mosques are set to be built across the Kingdom. By blending traditional Islamic elements with cutting-edge tech, these new places of worship aim to cater to modern needs while honoring cultural heritage, garnering widespread appreciation from worshippers and community members alike.
