Nebi Akasha Mosque, Historical mosque in West Jerusalem, Israel
The Nebi Akasha Mosque stands on Straus Street, featuring traditional Islamic architectural elements including domes, arches, and decorative stonework throughout its structure.
Built in the 19th century next to a 12th-century tomb, the mosque underwent additional construction by Mamluks in the 13th century before its abandonment in 1948.
The mosque bears the name of Al-Akasha ibn Qais, a companion of Prophet Muhammad, and contains inscriptions in Arabic declaring Islamic religious statements.
The structure currently functions as a municipal storage facility, situated within a park in what has become a predominantly Haredi Jewish neighborhood.
The location influenced the naming of the adjacent Street of the Prophets due to local beliefs about Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad being buried in this area.
