Al-Busiri Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الإمام البوصيري, romanized: Masjid Al-Imam Al-Busiri), also known as Imam Al Busiri Mosque, is a mosque located in the Anfoushi neighbourhood of Alexandria, Egypt. It is named after Al-Busiri, a Sanhaji Sufi Imam who lived in Alexandria during the 13th century, and it is where his tomb is located. The mosque is located next to Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque.

History

The mosque was built in 1858 after a mosque was instructed to be built on the site of Imam Al-Busiri's tomb on the orders of Sa'id the Wali of Egypt.

Restoration

Several restorations took place in 1898 on the order of Tewfik Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt. In 2006, a representative from the Islamic Antiquities Department of the Alexandria Governorate announced that 3 million pounds were allocated to restore the mosque.

The mosque contains two separate squares, the first of which includes a courtyard that contains a fountain. The second square is the Iwan, which faces the Qibla. It is higher than the level of the mosque's courtyard. The mosque also contains a shrine, which is a square room that contains the tomb of Imam Al-Buisiri and is covered by a dome which features muqarnas. The mosque contains a Minaret built in the Mamluk architectural style. The mosque is built in the same style as Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque, which is located a few meters away from it. Several verses from Al-Busiri's poem Al-Burda are displayed in the mosque.
