The Sheikh Rumani Ba 'Alawi Mosque (Somali: Masaajidka Shaykh Rumani Ba 'Alawi; also known as Masaajidka Rumaaniga, and Masaajidka Aw Shukumaan), is small mosque in the historical Hamar Weyne district of Mogadishu, Banaadir, in Somalia.[1]

Overview

The historical Hamar Weyne district contains approximately 25 small mosques.[1]

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[when?] renovation of the mosque, two important artefacts were lost including a piece of wood with 822 AH (1419/1420 CE) inscribed, and an iron ring hanging from one of the old beams that was being replaced.[2] The ring was similar to those found in the older homes in the neighbourhood, said to have been used to hang lanterns.
