Mosque of Cristo de la Luz

Overview:

Bab-al-Mardum Mosque and also known as Mosque of Cristo de la Luz.

It was converted into a church when Toledo was taken control of by Christians and called it Cristo de la Luz.

There is an inscription written in Kufic script Bismila ar-Rahman ar-Rahim (In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful).

Ahmad ibn Hadidi had this mosque erected using his own money requesting a reward in paradise for it from Allah. It was completed with the aid of Allah under the direction of Musa ibn Alí and concluded in Muharram in 390 A.H.
