The Al-Sahlah Mosque or Masjid al-Sahlah (Arabic: مسجد السهلة) is one of the primary significant mosques in the city of Kufa, Iraq. The mosque is of great importance to Shia Muslims, and it is believed that the mosque was initially established in Kufa as a neighborhood mosque for the followers of Ali, the early members of the Shia.
