The Arba'a Rukun Mosque (Arabic: أربع روكون), also known as Arba Rucun, is a mosque in Mogadishu, Somalia.
Overview
The masjid is one of the oldest Islamic places of worship in the capital. It was built circa 661 (1260/1 CE), concurrently with the Fakr ad-Din Mosque. Arba'a Rukun's mihrab contains an inscription dated from the same year, which commemorates the masjid's late founder, Khusra ibn Mubarak al-Shirazi (Khusrau ibn Muhammed).[1][2]
