Since the advent of Islam, one of its fundamental principles has been the respect of other religions, particularly the Abrahamic faiths. This principle is rooted in the Islamic belief that the religion is meant to be easy and not burdensome. This respect is evident in various mosques from the period of Islamic conquests, including the Mosque of Abu al-Muhajir Dinar in Mila, the first mosque in Algeria and the second in North Africa after the Mosque of Kairouan. Some historical texts claim that the mosque was built on the ruins of a Christian church, specifically the Church of Saint Optatus of Milevum. However, our field studies of these two landmarks suggest that the mosque was built adjacent to the church, not on its ruins. This indicates that Abu al-Muhajir Dinar, the mosque’s founder, respected other religions, particularly the Abrahamic faiths, as encouraged by Islam, which calls for the respect and non-violation of other religious practices and sites. Abu al-Muhajir Dinar took care to honor this principle with the Church of Saint Optatus of Milevum, which was one of the most important churches at the time. Saint Optatus mentioned in his letters four churches in the city of Milevum, but he did not describe or specify their locations. Written sources and historical research highlight the city's role during the Christian period and its saint, Optatus Milevus. They also refer to two councils held in Milevum in 402 AD and 416 AD. In this presentation, we aim to introduce and explore these two significant landmarks from two different but historically and archaeologically interconnected periods, emphasizing their religious value |
