جامع صندل, Historic mosque in Karkh district, Baghdad, Iraq

Sandal Mosque stands near Haifa Street with a large prayer hall accommodating 200 worshippers and features a central dome with colored ceramic tiles.

The mosque was established in 1697 under Ottoman Empire funding and underwent complete reconstruction between 1891 and 1893 after severe deterioration.

The mosque complex includes a religious school that produced numerous scholars, including prominent figures like Abdul Rahman Al-Alusi and Ali Aladdin.

The Sunni Endowment Office manages this religious site, which holds regular Friday prayers, Eid celebrations, and daily worship services.

Sheikh Sandal bin Abdullah Imad al-Din Abu al-Yaman al-Habashi, a renowned imam who died in 1196, remains buried within the mosque grounds.
