Al-Qaed Ibrahim Mosque (Arabic: مسجد القائد إبراهيم, romanized: Masjid ālqāed Ibrāhym) or the Commander Ibrahim Mosque in English, is an Egyptian mosque in Alexandria. It is located in the Raml Station area. It is named after Ibrahim Pasha, the former Wali of Egypt and the founder of the modern Egyptian military. During the 2011 Egyptian revolution, it was an important gathering place for protesters.
History
Its construction dates back to 1948, and it was designed by an Italian architect living in Egypt named Mario Rossi. The mosque was erected on the centenary of the death of Commander Ibrahim Pasha. In 2011, the square of mosque was used by protestors in their demonstrations against the government. In 2017, there were protests there after the United States moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Architecture
The Commander Ibrahim mosque has selected decorations from different eras. It has a graceful, high minaret, which is also distinguished from other minarets by the presence of a clock in it. Next to the mosque is an event hall belonging to the mosque. The mosque blends the traditions of Mamluk architecture, and was influenced by the Ottoman architectural and landscape approaches. The mosque is crowned with an egg-shaped dome on a small pavilion.
