The Masjid-e-Raheem Khan, also known as the Rahim Khan's Mosque, is a mosque, located in the Karwan area of Hyderabad, in the Hyderabad district of the state of Telangana, India.[1][2][3]
The mosque was completed in 1643 CE.

[edit]Haroon Khan Sherwani described the mosque as having practically all the peculiarities of Qutb Shahi mosques.[4] The mosque has three arched entrances. It is flanked by two minarets on each side.[3] In front of the courtyard is a terrace with some graves.[5]
The prayer hall measures 8.2 by 5.5 metres (27 by 18 ft). The Ayat al-Kursi is inscribed in the Thuluth script in black basalt on the semi-decagonal mihrab.[3]
