| This picture captures the silver Zarih (Maqsurah) created to honor, what is believed to be the burial place of Hussain's head, inside the Al-Hussain mosque located in Cairo, Egypt, near the Khan El-Khalili bazaar. It is considered to be one of the holiest Islamic sites in Egypt. The currently standing building was constructed in the 19th century and was influenced by Gothic Revival architecture. Today, the mosque houses some items considered sacred by Muslims, such as the oldest complete manuscript of the Quran. The location is visited regularly by many Shia Muslims. |
