The Al-Basha Mosque (Arabic: جامع الباشا, lit. 'The Pasha's Mosque'), formerly known as al-Khabazin Mosque (Arabic: جامع الخبازين, lit. 'The Bakers' Mosque'), is a mosque located in the Bab al-Saray area of Mosul, Iraq.
History
[edit | edit source]The mosque was constructed by Hussein Pasha of al-Jalili dynasty during the Ottoman imperial rule, and was later completed by his son Ghazi Muhammad Amin Pasha in 1169 AH (1755/1756 CE), and later included a madrasa. The family took care of the mosque over time; and several members of the dynasty are buried in the mosque.[1] The mosque is one of the oldest religious buildings established by al-Jalili dynasty.[2]
The mosque was among many that was destroyed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant during their takeover of Mosul in 2014. After ISIS was defeated, the mosque was reconstructed by local sculptors and artists in its original form without government interference. In 2021, prayers and Eid al-Fitr celebrations reopened in the mosque.[3][4]
