    Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque which is also called Blue Mosque is located in the heart of Down Town Beirut next to the famous Maronite Cathedral of Saint George and Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral. This is a Sunni mosque, but surrounded by other religious building. Make sure to show the right name to the taxi driver so he can drop you their right away.

  • 5/5 Selim M. 4 years ago on Google • 954 reviews
    The biggest mosque in beirut and lebanon and one of the biggest in the region. It is known for its size and blue top and because it was built by the prior assasinated prime minister (rafic hariri) who never saw it completed. It is located in ome of the beirut martyrs square's corners and is open to the public almost all day (access is limited to people wanting to pray during friday prayers time). It is a good landmark in beirut that is a must visit to tourists. Also notice the nearby maronite cathedral..the rafic hariri tumb and the roman ruines..all.surrounding the mosque.

    So symmetrical!! Also very accessible, you can basically just walk in, no hassle at all. (As long as you're dressed appropriately. If you're not you'll have to don the wizard robe.)

    Always enjoy Friday prayers here, if you go early, the Muazzen read the Quran in such a melodious voice before the imam arrives for Khutba. The imam khutba is always on point and his Qur'an recitation is also very beautiful. Mashaa Allah.

    Beautiful yellow exterior on this mosque. Once in Beirut for sure a visit is a good idea despite the fact that inside of the mosque is not as brilliant as the outsides. What makes this mosque extra special is that it is located side by side to a church which is very telling of Lebanon.

    One of big mosque in Lebanon. The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque, also referred to as the Blue Mosque, is a Sunni Muslim mosque located in downtown Beirut, Lebanon. In the 19th century, a Zawiya was built on this site. Decades of preparation to obtain sufficient land adjacent to the old Zawiya led finally to the building of the new mosque.

    (Translated by Google) Muhammad Al-Amin Mosque in Beirut It is a mosque located in Martyrs' Square in the center of the Lebanese capital, Beirut. It is considered one of the largest and most luxurious mosques in Lebanon, and can accommodate about five thousand people. The mosque was initially established as a Sufi zawiya in 1853 and bore the name “Zawiyat al-Sheikh Muhammad Abu al-Nasr” (born 1801). The Ottoman Sultan Abdul Majid (1839-1861) granted a plot of land to the Sheikh in appreciation of his religious efforts to establish Sheikh Zawiya for worship and religious education and the establishment of Sufi dhikr. Later, the sheikh converted the zawiya into a small mosque that bore the name (Muhammad al-Amin) after the Messenger of Islam Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him In the middle of the twentieth century, the idea of ​​expanding the mosque emerged and donations were collected for this purpose, but the civil war in the country postponed the project indefinitely, and in 2002 the foundation stone of the current mosque was laid on the ruins of the old mosque, the late Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri ... Near the mosque is the tomb of the Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was assassinated in a bombing that targeted his convoy on February 14, 2005. (Original) جامع محمد الأمين في بيروت هو مسجد يقع في ساحة الشهداء في وسط العاصمة اللبنانية بيروت. ويعتبر من أضخم مساجد لبنان وأفخمها ويتسع لنحو خمسة آلاف شخص. تأسس الجامع في بداية الأمر كزاوية صوفية في 1853 حملت اسم "زاوية الشيخ محمد أبو النصر" (مواليد 1801) حيث منح السلطان العثماني عبد المجيد (1839-1861) قطعة أرض للشيخ تقديرا لجهوده الدينية لينشئ الشيخ زاوية للتعبد والتعليم الديني وإقامة الأذكار الصوفية. لاحقا قام الشيخ بتحويل الزاوية إلى جامع صغير حمل اسم (محمد الأمين) نسبة لرسول الإسلام محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم في منتصف القرن العشرين برزت فكرة توسيع الجامع وجمعت التبرعات لهذا الغرض إلا أن الحرب الأهلية في البلاد أجلت المشروع لأجل غير مسمى، وفي 2002 وضع حجر أساس بناء الجامع الحالي على أنقاض المسجد القديم رئيس الوزراء اللبناني الراحل رفيق الحريري... بالقرب من الجامع يقع ضريح رئيس الوزراء اللبناني رفيق الحريري الذي قضى اغتيالا في تفجير استهدف موكبه في 14 فبراير 2005.

    The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque also referred to as the Blue Mosque, is a Sunni Muslim mosque located in downtown Beirut, Lebanon. The Mohammad Al-Amin mosque is the biggest mosque in Lebanon. Soon after the Lebanon Civil War, very little was left. Following a donation by late Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, the foundation stone for the Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque was laid in November 2002. The design is evocative of the Ottomans’ monumental architecture: with a built area covering approximately 11,000 square meters, a 48-meter-high blue dome and 65-meter-high minarets (placed on the corners of the mosque), the mosque has become a dominant feature of the Beirut City Center skyline. It was inaugurated in 2008. The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque contains multiple domes. All of the domes of the mosque are made from light blue tiles. The mosque also has multiple arches, which are couple stories high. The mosque has very similar characteristics to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. 2008: Inauguration of the mosque. 2020: The mosque suffers severe damage in the 2020 Beirut explosions.

    The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque (Arabic: جامع محمد الأمين‎), also referred to as the Blue Mosque, is a Sunni Muslim mosque located in downtown Beirut, Lebanon. In the 19th century, a Zawiya (prayer corner) was built on this site. Decades of preparation to obtain sufficient land adjacent to the old Zawiya led finally to the building of the new mosque. It was inaugurated in 2008. The Mohammad Al-Amin mosque is the biggest mosque in Lebanon. In the initial steps of building this mosque, Hariri endured many obstacles such as rights of property and funding the actual building. The mosque was badly damaged by the Beirut explosions on 4 August 2020. Its chandeliers and windows were shattered, and broken glass fell all over the floor. The Mohammad Al-Amin Association was created in the 1950s in order to replace the Zawiya with a mosque, in the name of the Prophet Mohammad (S.a.w) .
