Abdul Rahman Mosque during it's construction in 2007.

The Abdul Rahman Mosque, also known as the Grand Mosque of Kabul, is the largest mosque in the city of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. Construction of the mosque began in late 1990s when the Taliban were in power but was suspended for several years after the recent war in Afghanistan began in late 2001. Work resumed in 2003 after Saudi Arabia decided to pay for the remaining construction costs. The mosque has been completed as of late 2009, which has an attached large Madrasah school. It is named after Abdul Rahman, the Afghan Civil Aviation Minister who was assassinated at Kabul International Airport in early 2002. The mosque is located in a busy commercial area of the city.
