==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. 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 [[oil refinery]] in the city of [[Haifa]]. Others worked building the [[Port of Haifa]].
