Shabandar Mosque
The Shabandar Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الشابندر) is a historic 20th-century mosque located in al-Adhamiyah district of Baghdad, Iraq.[1][2][3][4][5] First built in 1902 by the philanthropist Mahmoud Ibrahim al-Shabandar during the Ottoman Empire period, the mosque can accommodate at least 140 worshippers within its area of 300 square metres. Its summer prayer hall, or musalla, can accommodate at least 50 worshippers.[1][2][3]
In 1906, Mahmoud Ibrahim al-Shabandar died, and he was buried in the garden of the mosque.[1] The mosque also experienced a major renovation in 1938. Currently, the mosque does not have any endowments, but the funding for restoration or repairs is done by the current member of the Shabandar family, Sayyid Sa'eed Ibrahim al-Shabandar.[2][3]
Other lesser known features of the mosque include a residential space for the needy, as well as a small private cemetery for the al-Shabandar family that is located in the mosque's garden. There is also a small basement underneath the mosque.[4][5]
