AL-Imam AL-Busiry Mosque
The city of Alexandria is characterized by numerous historical mosques, which number up to 7,000 mosques and a Zawiya at the governorate level. And one of these amazing and historical mosques is Al-Imam Al-Busiri Mosque.
Imam Al-busairi is Sheikh Imam Sharaf al-Din Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Hammad bin Mohsen Bin Abdullah bin Sanhag bin Hilal Al-sanhaji. One of his parents was from Busir in the upper and the second from Dalas, so the ratio of both of them was established, and the Dalas saw and then became famous as Al-busairi.
In his first working life, Al-busairi was writing on the levies "taxes", in the town of belbis, Sharqiya governorate, as mentioned in the book" Egypt's mosques and its righteous parents", but the dishonesty of those working with him in this job made him ascend government jobs and even ascend the pleasures of life and resort to a life of mysticism and interruption for worship .. I didn't find an honest man in them.
The Iwan of the Qibla is surrounded by six columns supported by a high dome of SAJ as well, and it has a second floor dedicated to women known as "sundress", and in this Iwan there are two main entrances, one on the east side and the other on the south side, and there is a third main entrance on the west side of the mosque's nave, and behind the eastern Portico of the mosque there are three rooms covered with three domes the pillars separated it into two porticoes, then the corner was renovated in 1308 ah and its corridors were blocked, turning into rooms dedicated to the library and the supervisors of the mosque.
