10 Oldest Masjid in the World

The designation of the oldest Masjid in the world requires careful use of definitions, and must be divided into two parts, the oldest in the sense of oldest surviving building, and the oldest in the sense of oldest Masjid congregation. Even here, there is the distinction between old Masjid buildings that have been in continuous use as Masjid, and those that have been converted to other purposes; and between buildings that have been in continuous use as Masjid and those that were shuttered for many decades. In terms of congregations, they are distinguished between early established congregations that have been in continuous existence, and early congregations that ceased to exist (wikipedia).
