The Mosque of Sultan al-Mu'ayyad is in Cairo, Egypt next to Bab Zuwayla built under the rule of sultan Al-Mu'ayyad Sayf ad-Din Shaykh from whom it takes its name, "Al-Mu'ayyad", meaning The Supporter in Arabic language. Construction began in 1415 and the mosque was completed in 1421. The complex included a Friday mosque It replaced a prison which originally stood next to Bab Zuwayla.
It's a great place to visit very very old lovely atmosphere when you go inside you feel so relaxed
Sultan Al Mu'ayyad Sheikh was a Circassian Mamluk who ruled Egypt from 1412 to 1421. Mamluks were slave warriors who were bought as slaves and received military training since young age to join the army of the Mamluk state. He was imprisoned in a very cruel and dark prison for some time during a political turmoil in Egypt, he made an oath that he will demolish that prison and build a mosque at its site if he was released. He built his mosque at the site of the old prison. It's rumored that he killed his older son because he was afraid that his son was planning a military coup against him, but there is no sufficient historical evidence to support this, he died at the age of 52 only few months after his older son death, leaving his two years old son as his successor, leading to an era of political instability in the Mamluk Sultanate.
An enchanting place to breathe in the fragrance of a period of Islamic history
