The Noor Mosque ({{langx|de|Nuur-Moschee}}; {{Langx|ur|{{unq|مسجدِ نور}}}}) 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 inaugurated on 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 Germany was celebrated in this mosque.
The mosque is well known because famous boxer Muhammad Ali prayed within it on one occasion.Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosques Around the World
