About
The Great Mosque of Kano, known locally as Babban Masallaci, is one of the most important Islamic worship sites in Nigeria. Built during the reign of Muhammad Rumfa in the 15th century, the mosque has been rebuilt and expanded multiple times. It reflects the deep integration of Islam into Hausa society and serves as a center for Friday prayers and Islamic scholarship.
