Currently the biggest mosque in Sarajevo, in respect to capacity. It is built in place where it was most needed, part of town that was most populated, but had no mosque.

Sarajevo's King Fahd Mosque was financed by Saudi Arabia as the largest mosque in the Balkans and the mosque attracts many Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2] It was built only five years after the Dayton Agreement.[3]
