Specifications

Mosque Tucson is one of the most prominent mosques in Arizona. It was built by funds from the local Muslim community, particularly by Ahmadis. It is also known as the Yousef Mosque. It was completed in 1987, has a single minaret and holds regular sermons.[1] It should not be confused with the nearby Quraniyoon mosque of the same name which in 1990 was the site of the assassination on Rashad Khalifa.[2]
