The Makki Mosque or Grand Makki Mosque in Zahedan was established in 1971 and is located in the center of Zahedan, the capital of the province Sistan-Baluchistan in southeast Iran. The founder of the mosque was Maulana Abd al-Aziz Mullahzada who until his dead in 1987 the most important Sunni religious authority of the Baluch in Sistan-Baluchistan in Iran. The Makki Mosque was founded as part of the Jamiat Darul Uloom seminary which is located next to the Makki mosque. The Darul Uloom is part of the Deobandi School and is close to the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan.〔Grand Makki Mosque of Zahedan, Published 5 April 2010; http://sunnionline.us/english/2010/04/makki-mosque-capacity-and-its-location〕 The Darul Uloom in Zahedan is the center for the Sunni Baluch people who live in eastern Iran.

Often prayers had to be offered on the nearby streets. An expansion project was started which made the Makki mosque the largest Sunni mosque in Iran after completion.〔Guido Steinberg, German Jihad: On the Internationalization of Islamist Terrorism, (New York 2013) pages 67-68〕 In 2010 the old mosque building with its two minarets had to be demolished to make room for the new 50,000 square meters mosque with four minarets.〔Grand Makki Mosque of Zahedan, Published 5 April 2010; http://sunnionline.us/english/2010/04/makki-mosque-capacity-and-its-location〕 Annual gatherings and conferences in the Makki mosque attract large numbers of Deobandi and other Sunni scholars from Iran and neighboring countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan.These gatherings and conferences have often prominent Deobandi speakers like the president of the Darul'Uloom in Karachi and speakers linked to the Tablighi Jamaat.〔Audun Kolstad Wiig, Islamist opposition in the Islamic Republic.
