Jami al-Qarafa Mosque

The mosque was built in 976 CE by order of Al-Sayyida al-Mu'iziyya (also known as Durzan), mother of the Caliph al-'Aziz (), and her daughter Sitt al-Malik. == Architecture ==

A possible layout was described by Jonathan Bloom in his "The Mosque of the Qarafa", although Yūsuf Rāghib pointed out problems with this reconstruction in his "La mosquée d'al-Qarāfa." The courtyard provided a place where the elite of Cairo would meet on Friday evenings in summer, and the covered qibla part of the mosque gave them a meeting place in the cooler weather. In 2024, it was reported via Reddit that the mosque and cemetery were being demolished. == See also ==
