Hamu al-Qadu Mosque

The Hamu al-Qadu Mosque (جامع حمو القدو) was a historic mosque located in the city of Mosul, Iraq. It dates back to the Ottoman era and is next to a market. The mosque also contains a tomb of a local mystic, Shaykh Ala al-Din, whose tomb is located in the basement. The tomb was visited by locals every Thursday and Friday prior to its destruction in 2014 by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

History
The mosque was built over a smaller mosque which contained the grave of Shaykh Ala al-Din. Then a madrasah was established there. The construction of this new complex was funded by Hajj Abdullah Chalabi, a wealthy merchant who resided in Mosul.

Features
The minaret of the mosque is built directly on top of the dome. The dome of the mosque is double layered and made out of brick. A water fountain is also present at the entrance of the mosque. In the basement of the mosque is the tomb of Shaykh Ala al-Din.

2014 demolition
In 2014, the historic mosque was bulldozed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, because of the tomb in the basement.
