The mosque’s complex will also have a library, a museum and an auditorium named after Mohammed bin Salman. Moreover, to teach Arabic, Shariah Law, and other Islamic subjects, Saudi Arabia would be sending the top 15 professors from different universities of the Kingdom. 

The professors will come to Islamabad on deputation and Saudi Government will bear all the expenses. Furthermore, the Saudi Govt will also give 250 fully-funded scholarships to deserving students in Pakistan.

Dr Yasinzai said about the cost of the King Salman Mosque IIUI initially, the construction cost was Rs. 500 million but later the addition of a cultural and research centre have increased its cost.
