Lal Masjid, Mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan
The red brick walls of this Islamic center stand near Pakistan's intelligence headquarters in Islamabad's G-6 sector, accommodating 5000 students at its peak.
Founded in 1965, Lal Masjid gained international attention in 2007 during a military operation that resulted in 154 casualties and sparked regional conflicts.
The mosque complex includes separate religious education facilities for men and women, teaching traditional Islamic studies and conducting daily prayer services.
The mosque opens its doors for five daily prayers, maintains eight educational institutes, and provides free transportation and meals to its students.
The building served as a recruitment center for Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War between 1979 and 1989.
