Omar Mosque: The Islamic Cultural Center of Madrid

Information

The Islamic Cultural Center and Mosque Omar in Madrid (Spain) is a building located at 4 Calle de Salvador de Madariaga, in the Barrio de San Pascual (District of Ciudad Lineal). Its west façade faces the M-30 road, which has made the construction also popularly known as the M-30 Mosque.

 

Currently it constitutes the first Major Mosque (masjid) of the capital, followed by the Islamic Community of Madrid, Abu-Bakr Mosque or Central Mosque of Madrid.

 

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provided the administrative and spiritual guidance of the ITC until the beginning of 2001, when it came to supervise its Concerted College. Currently, spiritual direction is in the hands of Sheikh Moneir Mahmud, a Sunni of Egyptian nationality, who also acts as the main imam. Moroccan, Syrian and Spanish personnel work in the administration, with a proportion of approximately 40% women (according to personal sources of the Mosque staff).
