The Aqsab Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع الْأَقْصَاب, romanized: Jāmiʿ al-ʾAqṣāb, lit. 'Mosque of the Sugarcanes') is an Ayyubid-era Sunni mosque and mausoleum in Damascus, Syria.[1] The mosque is located on Suq Sarujiyya, outside the walls of the old city, near the Bab al-Salam gate.[2][3]
The mosque houses a tomb dedicated to Aqsab al-Sadat, or the seven Companions of the Prophet Mohammed, as indicated by an inscription above the mausoleum door.[2]
