Mosque of the Judge (Fandiyaaru Miskiy) Addu Meedhoo:
Situated within the perimeter of the Koagannu Cemetery, this
mosque was built by the Chief Justice Mohamed Shamsuddine after
being exiled from Malé
to his native Meedhoo with his three sons, in the reign of Uteem
Sultan Shuja'i Mohamed Imaduddine I, circa 1660. The chief
justice's only crime was omitting a single phrase in praising
the Uteem sultan in his Friday sermon. Chief Justice Mohamed
Shamsuddine and his children personally undertook the
construction of this mosque. |
