'''Kababir''' ({{lang-ar|كبابير}}; {{lang-he|כבאביר}}) is a mixed neighbourhood with a majority of [[Ahmadiyya|Ahmadi]] [[Muslim]] [[Arabs]] and a significant minority of [[Jews]] in [[Haifa]], [[Israel]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tour-haifa.co.il/eng/modules/article/view.article.php/67/c12|title=Holy Sites in Haifa|publisher=Tour-Haifa|accessdate=20 September 2010}}</ref>
==History==
The [[Ahmadiyya|Ahmadiyya Muslim Community]] was founded in the 19th century, originating in [[India]] and settled in Kababir. Most of the families who were displaced to Kababir are originally from the village of [[Ni'lin]] near [[Jerusalem]]. One of the biggest and most well known family is the Odeh's family.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} They built the neighbourhood's first [[mosque]] on [[Mount Carmel]] in 1931, and a larger grand mosque in the 1980s. Also the Shambor family is one of the biggest in neighborhood. The Mosque is named after the second Ahmadi Khalifa [[Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad]]. The grand mosque has two white [[minaret]]s standing 34 metres tall, which dominate the low-rise skyline of the residential neighbourhoods on the ridges nearby. In the beginning, the neighbourhood was managed as a commune in which every working male contributed a fee to a mutual account. Some of the men joined the Turkish army, while some worked in the [[Haifa oil refinery|oil refinery]] in the city of [[Haifa]]. Others worked building the [[Port of Haifa]].
