The "Shah Mosque" also known as the Soltāni Mosque meaning "royal", renamed the Imam Mosque (مسجد امام), after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, is a principal mosque in the northern section of the Grand Bazaar in Tehran, Iran.
The Mosque was built to the order of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar of Persia during the Qajar period, as one of several such symbols of legitimacy for the new dynasty. At the time of completion, the mosque was considered to be the most significant architectural monument in Tehran.
During the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, the two current minarets were added to the structure. The mosque is topped by a small gilt dome. The mosque also has two Shabestan.
The courtyard is accessed from several parts of the Grand Bazaar, the commercial heart of the capital. There are some significant architectural similarities between the Shah Mosque, the Vakil Mosque in Shiraz, and the Royal Mosque in Borujerd.

On December 11, 1905, the vāli of Tehran ordered the public flogging of 17 prominent merchants of the Bazaar in the main courtyard of the Shah Mosque, blaming them for the increase in the price of sugar. The public humiliation of the merchants was condemned by the Bazaaris and in protest, the Grand Bazaar shut its doors. A public backlash against the government in a series of related incidents ignited the Persian Constitutional Revolution.

On March 7, 1951, Haj Ali Razmara, anti-communist Prime Minister of Iran, was attending the memorial service for Ayatollah Feyz at the Shah Mosque. On his way to the mosque, he was shot dead in the mosque's grand courtyard by Khalil Tahmasebi, who was described as a "religious fanatic" by The New York Times. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, Tahmasebi was a member of the Shiite activist group "Fedaʾeyān-e Eslām (Persian: 'Self-Sacrificers of Islam'), an extremist religious organization with close ties to the traditional merchant class and the clergy." In 1952, Tahmasebi was freed and pardoned by the Iranian Parliament during the premiership of Mosaddegh, and he was declared a Soldier of Islam. Following the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, Tahmasebi was re-arrested and tried; he was executed in 1955.
"Naser Khosrow" Street is one of the most historic streets in Tehran. This street has many historical monuments, including Shams al-Amara and Dar al-Fonun.
The first pharmacy and printing house in Tehran was also built on this street. At present, this street is a stock exchange of medical supplies, medical equipment, cosmetics, books, stationery and camera supplies.
Naser Khosrow Street starts from Topkhaneh Square and ends at 15 Khordad Street. Sur Israfil and South Saadi streets are located along this street.
Marvi High School is located on Naser Khosrow Street, in front of Shams al-Amara building.
The construction date of this street dates back to 1285, before that the moat was part of Soltani Citadel. After building a new moat, they filled the old moat and turned it into a street and named it "Nasiriyah" by the order of Nasser al-Din Shah. Four years later, it was entrusted to Amin Hozour to arrange it, and after a few years of trying, he put the street in order.
