Sidna Salama Mosque
The Sidna Salama Mosque (Arabic: مسجد سيدنا سلامة, lit. Masjid Sayyidinā Salāmah, Hebrew: מסגד סידנא סלמה) is an abandoned mosque formerly located in the centre of the now-defunct village of Salama in Mandatory Palestine, five kilometres east of Kfar Shalem in Tel Aviv, Israel. Although its date of construction is unknown, the present day mosque was rebuilt in 1810 by Muhammad Abu Nabbut, the governor of Jaffa under Ottoman suzerainty. After the 1948 Arab–Israeli conflict, the village of Salama was depopulated and hence resulted in the abandonment of the mosque. The ruined structure is currently locked up on all sides and is not accessible to the public. Before 1980, the mosque served as a community centre for locals of Salama. It was also an important religious site for the villagers, who held prayers at the mosque for Salama Abu Hashim, the namesake of the mosque. During the mid-1980s, the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality sealed up the mosque completely, preventing the usage of the mosque for prayers.
