The Shaykh Rajab Mosque (Arabic:جامع الشيخ رجب), formerly known as the Al-Barani Mosque, is a historic mosque located at Rawa, Iraq. It is named for Sayyid Rajab al-Rawi al-Rifa'i, a patron saint and follower of the Rifa'i Sufi order.[4] [5] The mosque is divided into two parts; the modern part is still used for prayer while the historic part dating to 1625 is flooded and hence is not used for prayer.[2]
The Al-Barani Mosque was constructed in 1625, next to the cemetery containing the (now-destroyed) mausoleum of Shaykh Rajab.[1] In 1989, the town of Rawa was flooded, and along with much of the town, the mosque sank as well. With the architectural supervision of Raed Ali al-Rawi, a modern mosque structure known as the Shaykh Rajab Mosque was built on top of the sunken mosque in 1992, which is still in use to this day.[3] The old mosque is still visible but it is not used.
