The Abd al-Wahid Mosque is a mosque and one of the remains of Mamluk architecture in Tripoli, Lebanon. It was built in AH 705 (1305/1306) by Abd al-Wahid al-Miknasi according to the founding inscription. Stories tell that the Muslim Abd al-Wahid al-Miknasi from Meknes was visiting Tripoli after its Muslim conquest from the crusaders. He stayed at the khan of a Christian who didn't treat him well. The wealthy Abd al-Wahid offered to buy the khan and after its acquisition transformed it into a mosque. The stories of a transformation of a khan into a mosque can be supported by material evidence: That the mihrab is located at an angle to the qibla suggests that an older wall was reused.
