Great Mosque, Religious center in Duhok, Iraq
The Great Mosque stands in the center of Duhok's main bazaar, featuring a central minaret and can accommodate 800 worshippers during prayer times.
Established in 1684, the mosque received funding from Abubakir Khwaja Muhammed, a philanthropist from Amedi, and underwent renovations in 1971 and 2014.
The mosque houses numerous manuscripts, including 'Almaqsad fi Alqiraat' written by Mohammed Ahmed Duhoki in 1699, representing regional Islamic scholarship.
The western section of the mosque contains dedicated educational facilities where students learn traditional Islamic teachings from local Imams and visiting scholars.
When first constructed, the mosque neighborhood consisted of 45 Kurdish Muslim families along with Christian and Jewish households before the bazaar development.
