The Aali Mosque (Urdu pronunciation: [ɑːliː məsd͡ʒɪd̪] ; Kashmiri pronunciation: [əːlʲ məʃiːd̪]) is a mosque located in Srinagar, in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The mosque was built in 1395 CE by Sultan Ali Shah, the elder brother of Sultan Zain al-Abidin (Budshah), and named the mosque after himself. It is also believed to have been constructed in 1471 CE during the reign of Shamiri King Sultan Hassan Shah and named after Sayyid Ali Hamadani (Shah Hamdan).
