5. Day Beirut VIII

The Mohammed al-Amin Mosque is a Sunni mosque in Beirut and the Friday Mosque of the Lebanese capital.

The construction of the mosque was commissioned by the then Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who also laid its foundation stone in 2003. Hariri, however, did not live to see its completion in 2007 and was buried nearby. On 17 October 2008, the Mohammed al-Amin Mosque was inaugurated by Saad Hariri, one of his sons.

The last two pictures show the gravesite of Rafik Hariri and his followers who died in the assassination.Läs mer
