Imam Ali Mosque, Religious sanctuary in Basra, Iraq.
The Imam Ali Mosque stands at an elevation of 12 meters, featuring traditional Islamic architectural elements with multiple prayer halls and gathering spaces.
Established in 635 CE during Caliph Umar's era, this mosque marks the first Islamic structure in Basra, initially constructed with palm canes before later reconstructions.
The mosque houses educational facilities where scholars teach Islamic studies, including fiqh, hadith, and philosophy, continuing centuries of academic tradition.
During Ramadan, the mosque opens extended hours for evening prayers and provides designated areas for families to participate in iftar gatherings.
The building underwent restoration in 2000, with plans proposing an expansion to cover 200 dunums and include six minarets in its architectural design.
