Sayed al-Hashim Mosque, Historic mosque in Gaza City, Palestine

Sayed al-Hashim Mosque stands in the ad-Darrāj Quarter of Gaza's Old City, off al-Wehda Street, about a kilometre from the Great Omari Mosque. Its 2,371-square-metre plan centres on a square open courtyard, with three prayer porticoes around it and vaults crossing over the main square prayer hall. The mausoleum of Hashim lies under the dome in the north-western corner.

A mosque and hostel stood on this site by the 12th century, and the Mamluk-era building was later expanded with a madrasa. The present mosque was rebuilt in 1850 on the orders of Ottoman Sultan Abdul Majid, using stone taken from buildings destroyed by Napoleon's troops. Its minaret was rebuilt in 1903, when the north and west aisles were added. An Israeli airstrike damaged the mosque in October 2023.

The mosque is named after Hashim ibn Abd al-Manaf, Muhammad's great-grandfather, who died in Gaza during a trading voyage; his tomb lies under the dome in the north-western corner. In the 19th and part of the 20th century the mosque ran a madrasa and served as a centre of religious learning. Visiting traders from Egypt, Arabia and Morocco frequented it, and pilgrims still come to the tomb alongside daily prayers.

The mosque stands in the ad-Darrāj Quarter of Gaza City's Old City, off al-Wehda Street, about one kilometre from the Great Omari Mosque. The mausoleum of Hashim lies in the north-western corner, under the dome, so visitors looking for the tomb should head there rather than to the main prayer hall. The building was damaged by an Israeli airstrike in October 2023, so check access conditions before setting out.

The 1850 rebuilding under Sultan Abdul Majid reused stone from mosques and other buildings wrecked by Napoleon Bonaparte's troops in the region. The Ottoman minaret was rebuilt in 1903, and the north and west aisles date from the same period. The mausoleum of Hashim ibn Abd al-Manaf sits in the north-western corner under the dome.
