Sheikh Rumani Ba 'Alawi Mosque

The Sheikh Rumani Ba 'Alawi Mosque, is small mosque in the historical Hamar Weyne district of Mogadishu, Banaadir, in Somalia.

Overview

The historical Hamar Weyne district contains approximately 25 small mosques.
The mosque locally to as "Aw Shukuman" isn't an easy mosque to get to, it can only be reached through a series of long winding ancient alleyways. During a recent renovation of the mosque, two important artefacts were lost including a piece of wood with inscribed, and an iron ring hanging from one of the old beams that was being replaced. The ring was similar to those found in the older homes in the neighbourhood, said to have been used to hang lanterns.
