The Noor Mosque (Noor = Light) in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen is the third purpose-built mosque in Germany. The mosque in Babenhäuser Landstraße is run by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (AMJ) and was inaugured in September, 12th 1959 by Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan.

Before the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1985 bought the „Nasir Bagh“ in Groß-Gerau, the annual gathering Jalsa Salana in Germay was celebrated in this mosque.

This mosque is well-known for being the one that the heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali prayed within once. 1
