Larabanga Mosque

4.2

Description

Larabanga is known for its whitewashed adobe Sahelian mosque, said to date from 1421.

It is reputed to be Ghana’s oldest mosque and houses a copy of the Qur’an almost as old. The legend surrounding the Qur’an is that the indigenous people told Braimah, believed to be the founder of the village, of a nearby site with powerful spiritual properties.

He went there and prayed for Allah to give him a Qur’an and a large Qur’an fell from the sky into his hands. It was one of the seven oldest compiled Qur’an in the world that resided in Mecca. To this day, they bring it out during the annual Fire Festival to read from it.
