Zawawi Mosque
The Zawawi Mosque (Arabic: مَسْجِد عَبْدُ ٱلْمُنْعِم ٱلزَّوَاوِي, romanized: Masjid ʿAbdul-Munʿim Az-Zawāwī) is a mosque, located in Muscat, Oman. It was built by Omar Zawawi, a member of the Al Zawawi family, to commemorate the death of his father Abdul-Mun'im Al-Zawawi, and opened in 1985. It is notable for having the entirety of the Qur'an engraved on metal plates on its walls. There was also an older mosque by that name, built in 1906 and demolished in 2005.
