King Faisal Mosque, Sharjah, Islamic religious edifice in central Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
King Faisal Mosque is a large prayer house in Sharjah with two minarets and multiple prayer halls spread across different levels. The building is designed with separate spaces for men and women worshippers.
Construction began in 1984 and the building opened in 1987, funded by donations from Saudi Arabia. The mosque represented a major religious development for the city.
The mosque houses a substantial library of 7,000 books covering Islamic literature, scientific subjects, and cultural materials for public access.
Visitors can explore the mosque during prayer times by respecting dress codes and observing the rules of conduct. It helps to be aware of prayer schedules when planning your visit.
The second floor houses the Department of Islamic Affairs and Awqaf, which manages religious activities and community services throughout Sharjah. This makes the building both a place of worship and an administrative center for religious life in the city.
