Ashaley Botwe Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission has received a new mosque
The Greater Accra Regional President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, Alhajj Adam Kofi Yamoah, has demonstrated the significance of giving back to the community and to his religion.
Speaking at the inauguration of the newly constructed regional mosque, mission house and headquarters at Ashaley Botwe New Town on November 16, 2025, Alhajj Adam Kofi Yamoah detailed his reason for constructing the mosque for the Islamic community.
He explained that it all started at a tender age when he used to attend prayers with his father, adding that the teachings and discipline he received from his parents and the Holy Quran influenced his decision to give back to the Muslim community.
According to him, the decision to construct a mosque for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission had been his dream since childhood.
“What we are witnessing today did not come out of the blue. The spirit of sacrifice actually emanated from my childhood. When I was a child, I was so attached to my father, and I was always going to the mosque with him for Fajr, which is dawn prayers and Isha, that is evening prayers.
“At age 9, I was taught how to read the Holy Quran. My father then bought me a Quran for personal use. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Quran that my father bought for me when I was nine years old and I still have it. This is the Quran that I have travelled with for as long as I have been wherever I have gotten to. It has been with me for 50 years. And if I didn’t destroy it in my childhood and I still have it, then it means that it can be restored,” he said.
Alhajj Adam Kofi Yamoah, while speaking, additionally disclosed a promise he made to Allah during his university days.
According to him, he promised Allah that he would construct a mosque to honour his guidance and grace if he was blessed with work and wealth after completing school.
“I told myself that in the future, when Allah blesses me with wealth, I will follow the footsteps of the elders. With this intention in mind, as I was about to complete my university education at the master’s degree level, I supplicated to Allah Almighty to grant me a specific job that related to my life and course of study. I also supplicated that when Allah grants me wealth, I would worship Him with it.
“Allah Almighty answered my prayers by granting me the specific work that I prayed for. Eight years into my working life, Allah Almighty paved the way for me and I started my own business in the same specific line of work I had prayed for. Allah has been so good to me and to the business and so I needed to be grateful to Allah. Therefore, this edifice that you are seeing is a testament and a fulfilment of my promise to Allah.”
He also expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his late wife and to his current partner for their support during the construction period.
“…My belated gratitude also goes to my beloved late wife, Hajirah Yamoah, for her unflinching support and encouragement to buy this land and dedicate it to a mosque project. May Allah have mercy upon her and grant her a place in Paradise… My special gratitude goes to my current wife, Hajiah Sadida Afia Yamoah, who has graciously devoted her precious life to my well-being. She advised that this house of Allah be built regardless of the cost, to give it the best architectural expression,” Kofi Yamoah noted.
During the inauguration, the Head and Missionary-in-Charge of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission in Ghana, Alhajj Maulana Noor Mohammed Bin Salih, honoured Kofi Adams for his immense contribution to the Muslim community.
According to him, “On behalf of the National Executive Council of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I want to say a very big thank you to this young gentleman (Kofi Adams), because in today’s Ghana, where times are very rough, we still have faith in Almighty Allah for better days ahead.
“It takes someone who has been brought up with a religious mind, someone who has been taught to believe sincerely, truly, and with commitment to the Almighty Allah, a committed, practical Muslim, to be able to do what he has done for us… It is my prayer that Allah bless and protect him and his entire family, and that Allah give him more,” Alhajj Maulana said.
