The Al-Musta'sim Billah Mosque (Arabic: مسجد المستعصم بالله), formerly the Abu Rabi'ah Mosque, is an Islamic mosque and shrine located in the district of al-A'dhamiyya in Baghdad, Iraq. A historic structure renovated in modern times, it contains the tomb of the last Abbasid Caliph, al-Musta'sim. It was also known as Mashhad al-Wu'ud, before it became a mosque.

Historical background

Originally, the site was the location of a shrine known as Mashhad al-Wu'ud, built over the grave of Ahmad al-Sabti, who was the son of the Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid and a Sufi mystic.[1][2][3] The Abbasid Caliph, al-Musta'sim was killed by Hulegu Khan's forces in the 1258 Siege of Baghdad, his remains were transferred to this location and reburied.[1][4][3] His daughter (or granddaughter) Rabi'ah was also buried here later on, and a shrine was built for her too, hence the name of the mosque was the Abu Rabi'ah Mosque.[1][2]

Modern discovery

Before discovering the Caliph's tomb, it was traditionally believed that al-Musta'sim was buried in the Mausoleum of Umar Suhrawardi. In 1993, an archaeological excavation was conducted at the mosque. The historian Imad Abd al-Salam Ra'uf, who was involved in the excavations, was able to find the tombstone of the deceased Caliph.[5][4] The mosque and the attached tomb were renovated in 2005.[5][3][4] It was almost completely rebuilt with modern architecture.[2] A room for the Imam and other necessities were added to the mosque's structure.[3]

Specifications

The building has an area of 1000 m2 and can accommodate 200 worshippers.[3][6][2] Almost no trace of the original mosque remain, having been replaced by a modern structure.[3][6][2] A small dome remains over the tomb of Caliph al-Musta'sim, and all other historical features of the tomb have disappeared.[3][6][2]
