Mausoleum of Yacoub bin Abd al-Rahman, Islamic mausoleum on Fouad Street, Alexandria, Egypt
The Mausoleum of Yacoub bin Abd al-Rahman spans 25 square meters and features a dome inscribed with Ayat al-Kursi above a wooden cenotaph covered in green cloth.
The mausoleum, established in 1920, commemorates Yacoub bin Abd al-Rahman, a tabi'e and hadith narrator who settled in Alexandria after the unrest of Husayn.
The burial site serves as a center for Islamic knowledge dissemination, continuing the educational legacy established by Yacoub bin Abd al-Rahman and his companions.
The mausoleum underwent complete restoration following an electrical fire in April 2018, making the structure safe and accessible for contemporary visitors.
The mausoleum stands opposite to Abdullah ibn Ali Zayn al-Abidin's tomb, creating a significant pair of Islamic monuments on Fouad Street.
