==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.<ref name="delRe">{{citationcite document needed| title=Approaching conflict the Ahmadiyya way: The alternative way to conflict resolution of the Ahmadiyya community in Haifa, Israel | author=Emanuela C.

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]].
