The Al Ahmad Mosque (Spanish: Mezquita Al Ahmad) is a Sunni Islam mosque, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[1]

Overview

[edit | edit source]

Designed by Ahmed and Elia Ham, the mosque opened in 1986. It is the second oldest mosque in Buenos Aires and it is the oldest building in Argentina, completed in the Islamic style.[2]

It is located on Alberti St. 1541, San Cristobal neighbourhood.[3] It has a minaret from which the muezzin issues the call for the five daily prays, the dome over the prayer hall also highlights. The mosque is part of the Islamic Center of Argentina. The Al Ahmad Mosque accommodates a large[clarification needed] number of Muslims on Fridays at noon for Jummah, the most important Muslim prayer of the week and to hear the sermon delivered by the Imam.

The nearby Inclán - Mezquita Al Ahmad station of Line H of the Buenos Aires Underground draws its name from the mosque.[4]
