Tal Afar, Iraq

The Sheikh Jawad Al-Sadiq Mosque, also known as the Husseiniyah Mullah Mahmoud, was a Twelver Shi'ite husseininya and mosque complex located in Tal Afar, in the Nineveh Governorate of Iraq. Prior to its 2014 destruction by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the mosque was located adjacent to the Saad Ibn Aqeel Shrine. The former mosque was named for the ninth Twelver Shi'a Imam, Muhammad al-Jawad and Sheikh Mahmoud al-Barzanji. There is a small cemetery behind the former mosque.
