The '''Lami [[Mosque]]''' is one of the six mosques in [[Ulcinj]], [[Montenegro]].<ref>[https://me.visit-montenegro.com/main-cities/ulcinj/ulcinj-tourism/churches/ Vjerski objekti u Ulcinju], Visit Montenegro</ref>

==History== It was built by [[Hajji]] Alia in 1689. The Friday [[Khutbah]] is given in three languages, in [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[Albanian language|Albanian]] and [[Bosnian language|Bosnian]] language. Next to the mosque is the ''gasulhane'', where the bodies of the dead are washed in preparation for burial. The funeral ''xhenaze'' [[salat|namaz]] follows washing.

In 1968, the anti-[[Albanians|Albanian]] [[SFR Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] government wanted to destroy the mosque, but the bravery of [[Imam Ibrahim Llolla]] to stand in front of the [[Yugoslavians|Yugoslavian]] police saved the mosque, as he was ready to sacrifice himself for the mosque. However, the [[Yugoslavians|Yugoslavian]] police destroyed another, the [[Meraja Mosque]].
