TheAl-Ajbal Mosque, also known as theAl-Aqrab Mosque or theAl-Saghir Mosque of Manawi Lajim, is a historicmosque located in the Al Amitahiyah district of Manawi Lajim neighbourhood nearAbu al-Khaseeb inBasra, in theBasra Governorate ofIraq. It can accommodate at least 150 worshippers. The mosque dates from the late 14th century; and was extensively remodelled in 1998.[1]
The mosque was formerly a mud brick structure, built in the late fourteenth century. It was later rebuilt with clay brick and plaster. In 1998, a complete reconstruction of the mosque was funded by Khalil al-Aqrab, a philanthropic businessman. In 2001, maintenance works were funded by Sharqiyah Ahmad al-Naami, a philanthropist.[1]
Remodelled in 1998 in amodern Iraqi style, the mosque can be entered through a wooden door. The prayer hall is 7 metres (23 ft) long and 15 metres (49 ft) wide. The roof is supported by four large pillars. Next to theqibla, there is a platform, supported by five curved concrete columns. Facing this platform is a large assembly area, which is 20 metres (66 ft) long and 82 metres (269 ft) wide.[1]
