The Ar-Rahman Mosque is a contemporary place of worship in Aleppo, Syria, described in the sources as standing on King Faisal Street. It applies modern construction methods to design principles drawn from early Islamic architecture, which makes it one of the city's distinctive mosques. A large, richly decorated dome rises at the centre. Around it stand two principal minarets, each 75 metres tall, and four shorter rectangular ones; the square form of the minarets recalls Umayyad-era tradition. Stones on the outer walls are shaped like pages of the Quran and carry verses from Surat ar-Rahman.
