Hassan Enany Mosque

Hassan Enany Mosque, Islamic mosque in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The Hassan Enany Mosque is a mosque on Jeddah's central Corniche, at the junction of Al Hamra Street and the Corniche Road. Its plan follows the eight-pointed Islamic star known as the Star of Baghdad, formed by two concentric squares set at 45 degrees, each side about 30 metres long. A single shallow dome covers a wide square prayer hall without internal columns, and two slender 35-metre minarets stand beside it.

Sheikh Hassan Mohammed Khalil Anani began building the mosque in 1402 AH and it was completed in Sha'ban 1405 AH, corresponding to the mid-1980s. The Egyptian architect Dr. Mohamed Raouf Helmi designed it on Jeddah's central Corniche, at the junction of Al Hamra Street and the Corniche Road.

The walls are covered with Moroccan zellige mosaic up to two metres high, and the qibla wall up to five metres; the same tiles line the ribs of the dome. The minbar is not the three-step Prophetic type but a balcony entered from behind. The preacher Sheikh Hani Al-Rifai draws large Friday and Ramadan crowds.

The mosque sits on the central Jeddah Corniche at the junction of Al Hamra Street and the Corniche Road, close to the Red Sea shore and away from housing. It holds 1,200 worshippers, with a large women's prayer area on a balcony across the western facade. Friday sermons and Ramadan tarawih draw crowds because of the imam Sheikh Hani Al-Rifai.

Seen from above, the mosque's plan follows the eight-pointed Islamic star known as the Star of Baghdad, formed by two overlapping squares about 30 metres on each side. The architect, Mohamed Raouf Helmi, used four steel frames along the dome's diagonals to span the square prayer hall without any internal column.
