Mosque of the Cercle d'Études, de Recherches et de Formation Islamiques, Mosque in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
The Mosque of the Cercle d'Études, de Recherches et de Formation Islamiques is a place of worship in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. It is part of CERFI, an organization dedicated to Islamic education and community activities.
CERFI was founded to promote Islamic education in Burkina Faso, and the mosque attached to it grew over time into a steady gathering point for worshippers. It has since become a rooted place for prayer and community life in Ouagadougou.
The mosque can be visited around prayer times, which follow the position of the sun throughout the day. Visitors are expected to dress modestly and behave respectfully, especially when prayers are in progress.
The mosque functions not only as a place of prayer but also as a learning space where children regularly receive lessons about Islamic faith. This educational role is central to what CERFI was created for, making it more than a place of worship.
