The Gaza Mosque is a Sunni mosque located in the Qua-ye-Markaz area of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, near the city's famous carpet market.[1]
Inaugurated on 11 January 2025,[2] the mosque was named after Gaza in order to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and honor the soldiers and victims of Gaza war.[3] The two-story mosque, which can accommodate approximately 500 worshippers, was built using public donations on land provided by the Kabul municipality.[4] Habibuddin Rezayi, a businessman, led the fundraising efforts to construct the mosque.[4]
