The tomb of [Hashim ibn Abd al-Manaf](/source/Hashim_ibn_Abd_al-Manaf), [Muhammad](/source/Muhammad)'s great grandfather who died in Gaza during a trading voyage, is located under the dome of the mosque according to [Muslim](/source/Muslim) tradition.[1] ## Overview A mosque and [hostel](/source/Hostel) have been located at the present site since at least the 12th century CE. The mosque had a *[madrasa](/source/Madrasa)* and was a center for religious learning in the 19th and parts of the 20th century. The mosque was named after Hashim. The Sayed al-Hashim Mosque was frequented by visiting traders from [Egypt](/source/Egypt), [Arabia](/source/Arabia) and [Morocco](/source/Morocco).[1] The existing mosque was built in 1850, on the orders of the [Ottoman](/source/Ottoman_Empire) sultan [Abdul Majid](/source/Abd%C3%BClmecid_I). Some of the older materials used in the mosque’s construction were taken from the mosques and other buildings destroyed by [Napoleon Bonaparte](/source/Napoleon_Bonaparte)'s troops. The original Ottoman minaret was rebuilt in 1903 and the north and west aisles were also built during the same period. The mausoleum of Hashim is located in the north-western corner of the mosque.[1] The mosque was damaged as a result of an Israeli airstrike in October 2023, during the [Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip](/source/Israeli_bombing_of_the_Gaza_Strip).[2] ## See also - [Islam portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Islam) - [Palestine portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Palestine) - [List of mosques in Palestine](/source/List_of_mosques_in_Palestine) - [Islam in Palestine](/source/Islam_in_Palestine) - [Destruction of cultural heritage during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip](/source/Destruction_of_cultural_heritage_during_the_Israeli_invasion_of_the_Gaza_Strip) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-TWP_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-TWP_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-TWP_1-2) ["Mosque of Sayyed Hashim - Gaza"](https://web.archive.org/web/20131209211750/http://www.thisweekinpalestine.com/details.php?id=1911&ed=130&edid=130). *thisweekinpalestine.com*.
