The Ar-Rahman Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع ٱلرَّحْمَٰن, romanized: al-Jāmiʿ ar-Raḥmān) is a contemporary mosque in Aleppo, Syria, located on King Faisal Street. It was opened in 1994 and features a combined architectural style of the early Umayyad and modern eras.
It has a large central highly-decorated dome surrounded with two 75-metre-high (246 ft) and four shorter rectangular minarets. The external walls of the mosque are decorated with stones in the form of traditional Quran pages, inscribed with some verses from the Ar-Rahman sura.[1][2]
