The Fatima Al-Zahra Mosque is a Shia Islam mosque located in Arncliffe, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1980, it is Australia's first and largest Shia mosque and also one of the Australia's largest mosques.
Professor Ahmad Abdul Majeed Hammoud is perhaps the founder of Al Zahra College, which belongs to Al Zahra Mosque.
Since the mosque was built there has been considerable real-estate development within its proximity[1] and it is said that its voters are affecting Federal and State election outcomes.[2]
There have been allegations of threats made against the worshippers at the mosque.[3]
