Yobe Central Mosque, the largest mosque in Nigeria (Daily Trust, May 5th, 2007) and one of the largest in Africa. It is located in Damaturu, the capital city of Yobe state and situated along Maiduguri-Potiskum road. It was completed in 2007 and launched on 11th May, 2007. The central mosque and Islamic centre in the northeastern state stands to be one of the most beautiful and iconic attractive places in Nigeria because of it's spectacular beauty and architecture.
During the construction of the mosque edifice, contributions were being made by Muslim civil servants and thousands of Christian workers in the state who were not even consulted on the contributions, opted to take part in a solidarity with their colleagues who are Muslims, maintaining such gesture was a clear demonstration of religious tolerance, unity and coexistence in the state. Thus, the mosque is always remembered with that historic motive made by the Christian faithfuls. #NaijaGems

The Mosque of Ahmad Ibn ŢūlÅ«n (Arabic: مسجد Ø£Øمد بن طولون‎) is located in Cairo, Egypt. It is arguably the oldest mosque in the city surviving in its original form, and is the largest mosque in Cairo in terms of land area.
The mosque was commissioned by Ahmad ibn Ţūlūn, the Abbassid governor of Egypt from 868–884 whose rule was characterized by de facto independence. The historian al-Maqrizi lists the mosque's construction start date as 876 AD, and the mosque's original inscription slab identifies the date of completion as 265 AH, or 879 AD.
The mosque was constructed on a small hill called Gebel Yashkur, "The Hill of Thanksgiving." One local legend says that it is here that Noah's Ark came to rest after the Deluge, instead of at Mount Ararat.
The grand ceremonial mosque was intended as the focal point of Ibn Ţūlūn's capital, al-Qatta'i, which served as the center of administration for the Tulunid dynasty. The mosque originally was backed by ibn Ţūlūn's palace, and a door adjacent to the minbar allowed him direct entry to the mosque. Al-Qatta'i was razed in the early 10th century, AD, and the mosque is the only surviving structure.
The mosque was constructed in the Samarran style common with Abbassid constructions. The mosque is constructed around a courtyard, with one covered hall on each of the four sides, the largest being on the side of the qibla, or direction to Mecca. The original mosque had its ablution fountain (sabil) in the area between the inner and outer walls. A distinctive sabil with a high domed roof was added in the central courtyard at the end of the thirteenth century by the Sultan Lajīn.

Bani is a small town on the way from Ouagadougou to Gorom-Gorom. It looks interesting, and has an interesting story. A series of seven fascinating mud-brick mosques are scattered around the town, several on hill tops, standing out against the sky as you approach. I was told the mosques are laid out in the same pattern as in Mecca, though I have not been able to confirm this.
