Abdul Rahman Mosque, Islamic mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Abdul Rahman Mosque is a large prayer building in Kabul featuring multiple minarets, domes, and spacious prayer halls designed with traditional Islamic patterns. The structure spans a substantial area and can accommodate around ten thousand worshippers during the five daily prayer times.

Hajji Abdul Rahman, an Afghan businessman, began building the mosque in 2001; after his death in 2002 his sons continued the project. Major structural work finished in 2009, and President Hamid Karzai attended the official inauguration in July 2012. Afghan architect Mir Hafizullah Hashimi is credited with the initial design.

The mosque is named after Hajji Abdul Rahman, an Afghan businessman who began the project in 2001; after his death in 2002 his sons carried it on. Its madrasa and a library of about 150,000 books make it a centre of study as well as prayer, and one floor is reserved for women.

The mosque stands in Deh Afghanan near Pashtunistan Square and Zarnegar Park, in Kabul's central commercial district, so approach on foot or expect heavy traffic. One of its three floors is reserved for women. Non-worshippers should time a visit outside the five daily prayers.

The mosque holds a library of about 150,000 volumes and a madrasa, so it works as a study centre as well as a prayer hall. Its architect is named as Mir Hafizullah Hashimi, and one of the three storeys is reserved for women.
