Id Gah Mosque, Islamic mosque in southeastern Kabul, Afghanistan
The Id Gah Mosque stands near Ghazi Stadium, featuring open prayer halls and geometric patterns that follow traditional Islamic design principles.
The construction began before 1901 under Emir Abdur Rahman Khan and was completed by his son Habibullah Khan, marking a period of architectural development.
The mosque serves as a central gathering space for thousands of worshippers during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors must remove shoes before entering the prayer halls and women need to cover their heads with appropriate clothing when accessing the mosque.
In 1919, King Amanullah Khan used this mosque to declare Afghanistan's independence from British control, transforming it into a symbol of national sovereignty.
