English: Makkah Masjid (Arabic: and Urdu: مکہ مسجد, Telugu: మక్కా మసీదు,) is one of the oldest mosques in Hyderabad, India and one of the largest mosques in India. Makkah Masjid is a listed heritage building located in the Old City of Hyderabad close to the historic landmarks of Charminar, Chowmahalla Palace and Laad Bazaar. Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah, the fifth ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty commissioned bricks to be made from the soil brought from Mecca, the holiest site of Islam and inducted them into the construction of the central arch of the mosque, thus rendering the mosque its name.
