Must-see: Cairo’s Al-Hussein Mosque.
The Al Hussein Mosque has a copy of the Quran that is both very ancient and comprehensive, making it one of the best examples of its kind.
Another one of its benefits is that it is situated in a handy location just adjacent to the famous Khan Khalili Bazaar.
Location:
It is easy to get there both for those who are traveling by themselves and for tour groups.
History:
The Al Hussein Mosque is often visited by famous people who want to worship there since it has a long history and has an original copy of the Holy Quran. In addition, the mosque is located in the heart of the city. The many tones of marble protect Hussien’s head; green and silver are used to decorate the room.
In the year 680, Muhammad’s heirs at the time, the Umayyads, assassinated Hussein in Iraq. They were Muhammad’s successors at the time. Ali said that the name Hussein belonged to Muhammed’s son-in-law.
Islam was effectively split in two due to the prolonged power war that was fought for control of the caliphate.
Ali’s relatives could not ascend to the office of caliph because Sunni Muslims backed the caliphate of the Umayyads.
As a result of the fact that certain Muslims would not accept a leader who is not a descendant of Ali, Hussein is seen by some individuals as a martyr. Most Muslims were open to following someone other than Ali as their leader, and most Egyptian Muslims who identify as Sunni admire Hussein.
It is generally agreed that Saiyida Zeinab, the granddaughter of the Prophet, has a greater level of notoriety.
Large umbrellas adorned with lovely designs have been positioned to generate a sense of aesthetic attraction in front of the mosque.
Muslims who pray outdoors in the heat are protected from the sun and provided with a place to seek shelter if it begins to rain while they are doing their religious observances.
The inventor of the intelligent umbrella thinks that Saudi mosques were the source of inspiration for the design of the umbrella.
