Noor-e-Islam Mosque, Islamic prayer hall in Saint-Denis, Réunion Island, France.

The mosque features a 32-meter minaret and incorporates windows that reflect the colors of the French flag in its architectural design.

Construction began in the 1890s following a petition by Gujarati merchants, with the current structure completed in 1905 as the first mosque in French territory.

The mosque serves the Muslim population through daily prayers, religious education, and functions as a central meeting point for the Islamic community.

The prayer hall accommodates 500 worshippers and maintains specific visiting hours, with the call to prayer conducted once per day.

The Association Islam Sounnate Djamatte manages both the mosque and the Medersa Tarlimoul Islam school, which operates under French state partnership.
