The historic Al-Hilal Mosque in the city of Assosa stands as a testament to the deep roots of Islam in Ethiopia, with its origins dating back to the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie. According to a report by the Shia Waves Agency, citing Al Jazeera, the mosque serves a vital role as an Islamic college, providing education in Quranic and other Islamic sciences to over 40 students each year.

The site also includes the tomb of a prominent historical figure and military commander. The mosque’s Imam has issued a plea for Muslims around the world to contribute to its restoration, emphasizing the importance of preserving this Islamic heritage for future generations.
