The Noor Mosque (German: Nuur-Moschee; Urdu: مسجدِ نور, lit. 'Mosque of the spiritual light'[1]) is a mosque located in Sachsenhausen, in the city of Frankfurt, in the state of Hesse, Germany. Situated on Babenhäuser Landstraße and completed in 1959, the mosque is the first purpose-built mosque in Frankfurt and the third in Germany.[2]
Muhammad Ali, a famous boxer, prayed in the mosque on one occasion.[3]
History
The mosque's foundation stone was laid on 8 May 1957; and the mosque was inaugurated by Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan on 12 September 1959.[1]
Before the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1985 bought the Baitus Shakur („Nasir Bagh“) in Groß-Gerau, the annual gathering Jalsa Salana in Germany was celebrated in this mosque.
