The House of the Mosque (Dutch: Het huis van de moskee) is a Dutch-language novel by Iranian writer Kader Abdolah, published in 2005. The book follows the life of an Iranian family during the regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, through the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the installment of the Khomeini government, and ends after Khomeini's death. Much of the plot takes place in a fictitious historical city of Senedjan, three hours by train from Qom. In the presentation of real historical events, many names and locations are altered, so that the novel does not pretend to be an accurate description of the historical situation.
The English language translation of The House of the Mosque was published in January 2010.
