'''Aizawl Mosque''' is the principal mosque located in [[Aizawl]], the capital of the state of [[Mizoram]], India.

== History ==
The mosque was founded in 1909 under the leadership of Jonab Deewan Musolman from Dacca (present-day Dhaka, Bangladesh), marking the formal establishment of the Muslim community in Aizawl.<ref name="ExploreMizoram">{{Cite web |last=|first=|title="As it is a mandatory in Mizoram, we must make sure that during your stay in Mizoram you should hold a valid ILP," - Md.

During the March 1966 air raids linked to the [[Mizo National Front]] uprising, Aizawl Mosque was destroyed by aerial bombing. It was subsequently rebuilt under the guidance of Late M. Bakhtar Uddin Majumdar, with the reconstructed mosque now able to accommodate around 2,000 worshippers.<ref name="ExploreMizoram" /><ref name="The Aizawl Post">{{Cite web |title=Aizawl Muslim-ten Idd hmang – The Aizawl Post |url=https://theaizawlpost.org/amp/aizawl-muslim-ten-idd-hmang/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251203210328/https://theaizawlpost.org/amp/aizawl-muslim-ten-idd-hmang/ |archive-date=2025-12-03 |access-date=2025-12-03 |website=theaizawlpost.org |language=lus}}</ref><ref name="ExploreMizor">{{Cite news |date=2020-04-06 |title=Breaking News {{!}} Aizawl Mosque Committee-in thu chhuah; Tablighi Jamaat an thlawp lo, Mizoram aṭanga chhim an awm lo |url=https://www.zonet.in/aizawl-mosque-pr-apr-0/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240618053131/https://www.zonet.in/aizawl-mosque-pr-apr-0/ |archive-date=2024-06-18 |access-date=2025-12-03 |work=Zonet TV Pvt.
