Shaykh Rajab Mosque

Rawa, Iraq

The Shaykh Rajab Mosque, formerly known as the Al-Barani Mosque, is a Sufi 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 order. 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.
