It was just being built:

"The *Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque* is a sunni
mosque<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque> located
in Martyrs' Square <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs%27_Square,_Beirut> in
downtown Beirut <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beirut>,
Lebanon<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon>.
It was built between 2002 and 2007 by the former Lebanese Prime
Minister<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister>
 Rafik Hariri <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafik_Hariri>, who was buried
beside it. It was inaugurated by his son Saad
Hariri<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saad_Hariri> on
October 17, 2008."  Wikipedia
