The Sayyida Zaynab Mosque (Masjid as-Sayyidah Zaynab) is a Shia mosque located in Sayyidah Zaynab near the capital city of Damascus, Syria. Twelver Shia tradition considers the mosque to contain the grave of Zaynab bint Ali, the daughter of Ali and Fatima, and grand-daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Sunni and Isma'ili Shia tradition considers the mosque of the same name in Cairo, Egypt, to be Zaynab's tomb. The shrine is a centre of Shia religious studies in Syria and a destination of mass pilgrimage by Twelver Shia Muslims from across the Muslim world, beginning in the 1980s. The zenith of visitation normally occurs in the summer. The present-day mosque that hosts the tomb was built in 1990.
