Sheikh Abdul Qader al-Jilani Mosque, Islamic mausoleum and mosque in Sheik Omar, Iraq.
The religious complex includes a mosque, mausoleum, and library containing rare Islamic manuscripts in the eastern section of Baghdad near the Tigris River.
Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent constructed the dome of the mausoleum in 1535 after the previous shrine experienced destruction during the Safavid period.
The mosque serves as the central pilgrimage site for followers of the Qadiriyya Sufi order, established by Abdul Qadir Gilani in the 12th century.
The mosque opens daily for prayers and special religious observances, with increased visitor numbers during the annual celebration on the 11th of Rabi al-Thani.
The Qadiriyya Library within the complex maintains a collection of ancient Islamic texts focusing on spirituality, law, and religious teachings.
