One of the setbacks was the built fire in November last year when someone or some kindled a fire on the frigolite in the house plate before the concrete came into place, and after that it was supposed that the construction would start in the spring, but it did not happen.

The congregation hopes that all papers will be ready shortly so that at best they can get started on building walls and ceilings during the fall, which would mean that the mosque would be ready in spring 2021. If they wait until construction starts in spring 2020, they do not expect that the mosque will be inaugurated until the autumn of 2021.
