Mausoleum of Abdullah ibn Ali Zayn al-Abidin

Mausoleum of Abdullah ibn Ali Zayn al-Abidin, Islamic mausoleum on Fouad Street, Alexandria, Egypt

The Mausoleum of Abdullah ibn Ali Zayn al-Abidin is a stone structure in Alexandria topped by a prominent central dome inscribed with Quranic verses. The building displays traditional Mamluk architectural elements and features carefully crafted details throughout its design.

The site was established as a burial place for Abdullah ibn Ali and his wife, who traced their lineage through Husayn ibn Ali, a key figure in early Islamic history. Its location in Alexandria, a major center of Islamic learning, underscores the family's prominence in medieval Islamic society.

This burial site holds meaning for those tracing connections to the Prophet's family and attracts visitors seeking deeper understanding of Islamic lineage and devotion. The structure embodies the respect shown through religious architecture to these revered ancestors.

The mausoleum welcomes visitors during daylight hours and provides space for quiet viewing both inside and around the exterior. Modest clothing is recommended when visiting, as this is an active religious site where respectful behavior is expected.

The inscriptions at the entrance document the genealogy of Abdullah ibn Ali with specificity used by Islamic scholars to verify religious connections. Such genealogical records held great value in medieval Islam as means of establishing and preserving family relationships.
