Abu Hanifa Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Al-Adhamiyah district, Baghdad, Iraq
The Abu Hanifa Mosque features high domes, minarets, ornate calligraphy, and a central courtyard within white stone walls adorned by Ottoman architectural elements.
Built in 985 CE near Abu Hanifa's tomb, the mosque underwent major reconstructions in 1066, including the addition of a dome and an educational institution.
The mosque serves as the central institution for teaching Hanafi jurisprudence, making it the third oldest continuing educational center after Al-Qarawiyyin and Al-Azhar.
The mosque contains multiple prayer halls, administrative offices, teaching facilities, and a library housing valuable manuscripts and historical Quran copies.
During the 16th century, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent ordered the reconstruction of the dome and expanded the mosque complex with guest accommodations.
