The mosque of the prophet Daniel

Kirkuk, Iraq

The Mosque of the Prophet Daniel (Jami' al-Nabī Dānyāl) is a mosque located in the Kirkuk Citadel of Kirkuk, Iraq. It is named after the biblical Daniel, whom locals believe is buried in the mosque along with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Much like the Great Mosque in the same place, this mosque is a heritage site of the Kirkuk Governorate due to being located within the central citadel of the city.
