Al Ahmad Mosque, Mosque in San Cristóbal, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Al Ahmad Mosque is a Sunni mosque at Alberti Street 1541 in the San Cristóbal neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Designed by engineers Ahmed and Elia Ham, it has a minaret from which the muezzin calls the five daily prayers and an onion-shaped dome above the prayer hall.

The mosque was built in 1986, making it one of the first purpose-built Islamic places of worship in Buenos Aires. It was founded to serve a growing Muslim community that had settled in the city over the previous decades.

The mosque is run by the Islamic Center of the Republic of Argentina, while its owner is the Yabrudense Association, founded in 1932 by Syrian immigrants from Yabrud. Besides prayer, it hosts artistic, cultural and sports workshops, and it has a gym and a restaurant, Sara, serving Arab and international food.

The mosque sits close to the Inclán metro station, making it easy to reach by public transport from most parts of the city. Before entering, visitors are expected to remove their shoes and dress modestly, as is standard in any mosque.

The Inclán-Mezquita Al Ahmad station on Line H of the Buenos Aires Underground takes part of its name from the mosque, which stands on Alberti Street at number 1541. The mosque was designed by the engineers Ahmed and Elia Ham and opened in 1985, according to the Spanish-language sources, or 1986 in the English one.
