Sayed al-Hashim Mosque, Historic mosque in Gaza City, Palestine
The Sayed al-Hashim Mosque spans 2,400 square meters with multiple columns, arches, and a central prayer hall featuring ornate Islamic calligraphy.
The mosque dates back to the 12th century Mamluk period, with the current structure built in 1850 under Ottoman Sultan Abdul Majid's direction.
The mosque contains the tomb of Hashim ibn Abd Manaf, great-grandfather of Prophet Muhammad, who died in Gaza during a trading journey.
Located off al-Wehda Street in the ad-Darraj Quarter, the mosque serves as an active prayer space with multiple entrances for worshippers.
The mosque's construction incorporated materials from previous buildings damaged during Napoleon Bonaparte's military campaigns in the region.
