Photo report of Raas Al-Hussein mosque in Cairo

By: Ali Hossein

CAIRO, Egypt: Raas Al-Hussein Mosque was built in 1154 near the Khan El-Khalili bazaar. According to some Egyptian narrations Imam Hussein(as)’s head was buried here. The mosque, considered to be one of the holiest Islamic sites in Cairo, was built on the cemetery of the Fatimid caliphs, a fact that was later discovered during the excavation. The Mosque houses some very sacred items like the oldest believed complete manuscript of the Quran.

A hadith in which the Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) says: "Husain is from me and I am from Husain.'' is also written on a marble slab in the mosque.

Here is the photographic report of Raas Al-Hussein mosque in Cairo.
