Fittja mosque, Mosque in Fittja, Sweden.

Fittja Mosque is a mosque by Albysjön in Fittja, Botkyrka Municipality, south of Stockholm. Built from 1998 and completed in April 2007, it has Turkish-style architecture: a windowed central dome with birch wood paneling, hand-painted tiles on the prayer room walls, and a minaret 32.5 meters high. Women pray on a 200-square-meter raised gallery, and the building also contains the imam's residence.

The mosque was initiated by the Islamic Cultural Association in Botkyrka and completed in 2007 to give the region's growing Muslim community a permanent place to gather. Its construction was part of a wider effort to build religious facilities for Muslims in the Stockholm area during the 2000s.

The Fittja Mosque is closely tied to the local Turkish community in the Fittja neighborhood and serves as a gathering place for prayer, religious classes, and community events. Visitors who step inside will notice the hand-painted tile work and wood paneling that give the prayer room a warm, carefully finished feel.

The prayer room lies under a windowed central dome, with birch-wood panelling and hand-painted tiles on the walls. Women pray on a gallery of about 200 square metres, so they reach their place by a separate route from the men. The minaret rises 32.5 metres, and the building also holds the imam's residence.

On 26 April 2013 at 12:57, imam Ergin Öcgem gave Sweden's first call to prayer from a minaret, spoken live through a microphone rather than played back. Police had granted a time-limited permit in April 2013, valid until 20 March 2014, requiring the speakers on the minaret's exterior to face only three directions and stay below 60 decibels.
