The Majd al-Dawla Mosque is a Qajar-era religious and educational structure located in District 12 of Tehran, recognized as an Iranian national heritage site. Built in the distinctive tilework and decorative traditions of Qajar architecture, the mosque combines the primary prayer space with a madrasa (seminary), reflecting the integrated sacred and scholarly functions common to significant Islamic institutions of the period. Its construction employs traditional materials—brick, stone, tile, and wood—characteristic of Iranian architectural practice, with ornamental tilework serving as a dominant decorative element typical of Qajar design.
