Haji Javad mosque, Islamic prayer house in Yasamal District, Baku, Azerbaijan.

The modern Haji Javad Mosque spans 1200 square meters, featuring a central dome reaching 18 meters high and a 33.7-meter minaret.

The original mosque from 1305 Muslim calendar served as a kindergarten during Soviet times before being rebuilt in 2018 at a new location.

The mosque walls display traditional Azerbaijani calligraphy and oriental ornaments, with Quranic verses adorning the dome's perimeter.

The two-story prayer complex accommodates 500 worshippers, with separate floors for men and women, plus educational facilities and parking spaces.

The mosque's reconstruction followed community protests in 2017, leading to presidential intervention and the creation of an expanded religious center.
