Al-Nukhailah Mosque, Medieval mosque in Al Kifl, Iraq.
The Al-Nukhailah Mosque features a conical muqarnas dome reaching 20 meters high and contains multiple Persian inscriptions along its minaret walls.
Built in 1316 during Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan's reign, the mosque underwent reconstruction after his father Öljaitü obtained guardianship of the sacred site.
The mosque houses Ezekiel's Tomb, making it significant for both Islamic and Jewish traditions, with five Jewish saints' graves near the main shrine.
Visitors can access the mosque through the town of Al Kifl in Babylon Governorate, south of Hilla, where regular religious ceremonies take place.
In 2014, Iranian companies and the Shi'a community waqf funded an 800 million dinar restoration project focusing on the mosque's minarets.
