It was my first visit to this lovely masjid and I found it more than expectations

Nowadays road side of Kal Masjid completely blocked.

Lal Masjid, meaning red mosque which is derived from the kiln- hardened red bricks used in its construction, is also located on this road. The mosque has historically played the role of religious civil society. It has been a staunch critic of the government on various issues from domestic policies to relations with foreign governments.A beautiful mosque, centrally located and easily accessible. It is a pleasure to offer prayers there. The atmosphere is good. The Lal masjid or red mosque is a medium sized mosque. It is one of the earliest mosques of the capital. It has not much to offer as an attraction for tourists.

A famous mosque by its history.

The Red Mosque located on Masjid (mosque) Road is one of the oldest mosques within the capital. Before the construction of Faisal Mosque, the largest in the capital as well as the country, it was in the Red Mosque that presidents and other high public dignitaries came to offer ceremonial prayers. Located at a very centralized position, it lies in close proximity to the two busiest commercial centres of the city, Aabparah market in the east and Melody market in the north. It was built in 1965 and is named for its red walls and interiors. According to Capital Development Authority (CDA) records, the Lal Masjid is one of the oldest Mosques in Islamabad. Maulana Muhammad Abdullah was appointed its first imam. Abdullah was critical of all governments except Zias with whom he was very close. General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq had very close relationship with Maulana Muhammad Abdullah, the former head of the mosque. During the Soviet–Afghan War (1979–1989), the Red Mosque played a major role in recruiting and training mujahideen to fight with Alongside Afghan mujahideen. Throughout its existence, it has enjoyed patronage from influential members of the government, prime ministers, army chiefs, and presidents. Several thousand male and female students live in adjacent seminaries.After Maulana Muhammad Abdullah was assassinated in 1998, his sons Abdul Aziz and Abdul Rashid took over the mosque, Abdul Aziz remains the official khateeb (sermon giver) of the Mosque.

Holy n beautiful house of Allah the great.Love n honor to offer prayers when Allah permit.

Lal masjid is a famous mosque of Islamabad. Many people knew this mosque due to the operation carried out by General Musharraf against this mosque and its Madrassa Jamia Hafsa.

Now this mosque has a history associated with it (people know why??)..A lot of my mixed memories (both good and sad) are also associated with Lal Masjid.

Beautiful & picefull place of lal Masjid

Red mosque (Lal Masjid) is the first Masjid of Islamabad city.First Imam of this Masjid was Mulana Abdullah (any one who lived Islamabad before 2000s know him).He was father of Ghazi brothers. Currently Molana abdul Aziz is leading prayers. In 2007 this masjid was completely destroyed by brave Pakistani army. Credit goes to Musharraf, aunty shamim and Ghazi brothers. Mosque architecture is amazing and beautiful. Govt should take charge of this Masjid, declare it heritage and open it for visitors/tourists.

Nice mosque forJumma Prayer

One of the oldest masjid of Islamabad and also a landmark. Newly built and renovated

This is the oldest big jamea masjid of Islamabad, a central mosque, operation was carried out by Pak Army and a madrasa namely Jamea Hafsa was demolished in Musharraf era.

Its very beautiful and different

Nice place

One of the mosques nearest to the red zone of Islamabad. Once it was demolished by security forces. The location for jamia hafsa, a female madrassa, is still controversial and the administration does not want Jamia Hafsa be constructed there.

Very nice place. And full security.

Lal Masjid one of the big mosques of Islamabad situated in G-6 near Sunday Bazar.

Masha Allah beautiful Mosque bid space and calm enviornment

When we are talking about the Mosque History It is the first Capital Mosque .Served for So many years to Muslims for their Religion and Beliefs.Even conflict with Musharraf Regime didnt rifted the Stance to an inch. Beautiful place for your Peace and Prayers .

Lal Masjid is very old piece of architecture which was redecorated few years back by Bahria islamabad owner Malik Riaz... a good piece of architecture with new look... its enough spacious for its believers... although due to its previous controversial background its most of the time heavily under guard specially on Fridays.... overall very historic background has made it place worth watching.... some of the old trees inside mosque and alongside its boundary walls have clear markings of bullets fired back during the operation of General Musharraf period.... the bullets are preserved in these trees....

The one oldest mosques and a it became historic mosque after Lal Masjid operation. Building architecture is admirable.
