How should the Sunnah ceremony be when opening a new Musjid?

Question

How should the Sunnah ceremony be when opening a new Musjid?

Answer

There is no ceremony when opening a Musjid. Opening ceremonies are practices of the kuffaar. They are furthermore, practices of ostentation (riya) pride (takabbur) and waste (israaf). A Musjid's only opening 'ceremony' is the Athaan and the Salaat, nothing more.
