Talk:Mosque of Amr ibn al-As

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fact from Mosque of Amr ibn al-As appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 22 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows: ...that the Mosque of Amr in Fustat, originally built in 642 CE, was the first mosque ever built in Egypt?[1]

[edit] First African mosque?

What about that of Negash, built by the migrants in Aksum/Ethiopia at the time, predating the Hijra? Nothing of it remains that I'm aware of, but it would predate the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 08:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
