Al-Adliya Mosque is one of the historical mosques in Baghdad. It is located in the Rusafa district of Baghdad, near Al-Nahr Street in the Al-Mustansiriya neighborhood. The mosque once housed a religious school where prominent scholars studied, including Sheikh Najm al-Din Effendi al-Karm.
History
It was built by Adila Khatun, daughter of Ahmad Shah, wife of Suleiman Pasha, governor of Baghdad, in 1163 AH/1749 AD. The mosque has been restored several times, most recently in 1313 AH. In 1330 AH, the road opposite the mosque gate was expanded, and the gate was demolished.[1]
Architectural style
The mosque's area is 1,100 square meters, and the area of the sanctuary is 600 square meters, accommodating more than a thousand worshippers. At its entrance is a tall minaret built in the Islamic style, decorated with colored tiles and with a single basin. The sanctuary is topped by a large dome with six smaller domes. The sanctuary contains an ancient mihrab built of blue marble, as well as a beautiful ancient minbar (pulpit) and a Quran reciter's area, both made of teak wood.[2]
