I have always advocated the reopening of the Hagia Sophia Mosque and will continue to do so.

The reason for this is very simple and clear. Because Hagia Sophia is the sword right of Sultan Mehmet, the conqueror of Constantinople, and it was dedicated as a mosque by Fatih Sultan Mehmet. This cannot be changed until doomsday. Nobody has the right and authority to change this.

Unfortunately, it has been turned into a museum by the heedless, who do not fear of Allah and do not know the law.

Dear ASSAM Members and Volunteers,

Following the decision of the 10th Department of the Council of State, Hagia Sophia, the symbol of conquest of Istanbul, was opened to worship again as a mosque with the Presidential Decree.

Hagia Sophia, which was gifted to this ancient ummah as a mosque with the conquest of Istanbul by Mehmed the Conqueror in 1453, unfortunately, has been used as a museum for 86 years since 1934.

Hagia Sophia, which our nation and the Muslims of the world have been waiting for long time since that day, was finally reunited with the ummah as a mosque with the decision of the 10th Chamber of the Council of State on July 10, 2020 and the Presidential decree issued at the will of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
