About the Al-Hussein Mosque
The Al-Hussein Mosque is a mosque and mausoleum in Cairo, Egypt, close to the Khan el-Khalili bazaar and next to the Al Azhar Mosque. Its shrine holds the tomb of Husayn ibn Ali, first built in 1154. Reconstruction of the mosque and mausoleum came in 1874. The site ranks among the holiest Islamic places in Egypt, and some Shias hold that Husayn's head lies buried on the mosque grounds where the shrine stands.
The building as it stands shows several periods. Bab Al-Akhdar, the south gate, keeps only its lower section from the Fatimid mosque; the Ayyubids added a minaret above it in 1237. The 1874 reconstruction by Isma'il Pasha drew on Gothic Revival ideas, mixing Italian Gothic and Ottoman minaret styles in a scheme described as Islamic eclecticism. A restoration in 1996 placed a replacement dome of steel over the tomb chamber.
Three large canopy umbrellas stand at the mosque; they open mechanically to shade worshippers outdoors from summer sun and winter rain. Beside Ras al-Husayn, a crypt keeps objects believed to have belonged to Muhammad, a piece of a cloak and a lantern holding strands of hair, along with a Quran written out by Ali ibn Abi Talib. Visitors who are not Muslim may not enter, though they can view the building from outside.
