Al-Mohammadi Mosque (Arabic: مسجد المحمدي)[1] is a large mosque in the Habous quarter of Casablanca, Morocco. It was built circa 1935 and its construction was sponsored by Sultan Mohammed V, after whom it is named.[2][3]

Construction on the mosque started on 30 June 1934.[4][5] It was designed by architects Auguste Cadet [fr].[5] Cadet, along with Edmond Brion, was implicated in the design of other buildings in the Habous quarter, including the nearby al-Yusufi Mosque (or Moulay Youssef Mosque).[5][2] The sultan visited the construction site in August 1934 while work was being supervised by architects Abad and Ben Omar.[4] The mosque was officially inaugurated on 12 June 1936, in the presence of Mohammed V.[5][6]

The mosque underwent a major restoration in 2007.[3][7]

The building covers an area of around 3,600 m2 (39,000 sq ft) and it can accommodate up to 6000 or 8000 worshippers.[3][2] Its design references traditional Moroccan Islamic architecture; the minaret is modeled on the minaret of the Kutubiyya Mosque in Marrakesh and the courtyard is modeled on the Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fes.[8]
