The Noor-e-Islam Mosque (French: Mosquée Noor-e-Islam) is a mosque in Saint-Denis, Réunion, an overseas department and region of France.

Overview

The original building of the mosque was established in the 1890s. A petition was soon made and granted by Governor Laurent Marie Émile Beauchamps in 1898. The new mosque building then replaced the old building and was completed in 1905.

The windows of the mosque bear the French tricolore. It consists of one minaret that is 32 metres (105 ft) tall.
