Dubai, February 19, 2026 : Danube Properties has officially commenced construction of the Rizwan Askerali Sajan Masjid in Dubai Silicon Oasis, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to spiritual development and community-building initiatives across the UAE.
The new Masjid represents the fifth mosque to be developed under Danube Group’s AED 50 million pledge to construct Masjids across the country — a commitment previously announced in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai.
A Landmark for Faith and Community
Set within one of Dubai’s fastest-growing districts, the Rizwan Askerali Sajan Masjid will stand as a symbol of faith, unity, and responsible corporate citizenship. The mosque will be developed on a 121,000-square-foot plot, with a built-up area of 19,000 square feet, and is designed to accommodate up to 1,000 worshippers — 800 men and 200 women.
The project has been thoughtfully planned to meet the needs of the surrounding community and will include parking facilities exceeding maximum capacity requirements, ensuring ease of access and convenience for worshippers and visitors. Completion is scheduled for later this year.
Groundbreaking Ceremony Attended by Senior Officials
The groundbreaking ceremony was held in the presence of Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, and Badr Buhannad, Director General of Dubai Silicon Oasis, alongside distinguished dignitaries and senior officials.
Commenting on the occasion, Badr Buhannad stated:
“It is an honour to witness the groundbreaking ceremony of this beautiful Masjid developed by Rizwan Sajan. Developments such as this reflect a strong commitment towards community wellbeing and sustainable urban growth, reinforcing the importance of integrating social infrastructure within evolving master communities. I commend Danube Properties for their continued contribution to strengthening Dubai’s integrated and inclusive community ecosystem.”
Rizwan Sajan added:
“This Masjid represents our gratitude to the UAE and our commitment to creating spaces that inspire faith, harmony, and togetherness. It is not just a place of prayer, but a foundation for community connection and spiritual growth. I extend my sincere appreciation to the management of Dubai Silicon Oasis for granting us the land for this noble initiative. Their invaluable support and collaboration have made it possible to bring this meaningful vision to life.”
Strengthening a Legacy of Community Investment
With this latest development, Danube Properties continues to expand its legacy of Masjid construction across the UAE. To date, the Group has successfully delivered four mosques, each serving as a vital spiritual and social landmark within its respective community.
Beyond its portfolio of 41 successful real estate projects, Danube Group remains committed to impactful corporate social responsibility initiatives that contribute to the nation’s social development and overall wellbeing.
Upon completion, the Rizwan Askerali Sajan Masjid is expected to become a central place of worship within Dubai Silicon Oasis, serving residents, professionals, and visitors while reinforcing the values of unity, generosity, and faith that define the UAE.
