Masjid-e-Raheem Khan, also called Rahim Khan's Mosque, is in the Karwan area of Hyderabad, Telangana. It was completed in 1643 CE, and Haroon Khan Sherwani, writing about the building, found in it almost every feature typical of Qutb Shahi mosques.
Three arched entrances lead into a prayer hall of about 8.2 by 5.5 metres, and minarets flank the building. The mihrab is semi-decagonal, and the Ayat al-Kursi is carved on it in black basalt in the Thuluth script. A few graves lie on a terrace before the courtyard.
