List of largest mosques

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lists mosques from around the world by available capacity, that belong to any Islamic school or branch, that can accommodate at least 15,000 worshippers in all available prayer (salah or namaz) spaces such as prayer halls, courtyards (sahn) and porticoes. All the mosques in this list are also known as Jama Masjids – type of mosque that hosts the Friday prayer (known as Jummah) in congregation. Due to the incomplete nature of this list, mosques are not ranked.
