    (Translated by Google) It was established by Sultan Hassan bin Qalawun in the period between 1356 and 1363 AD during the reign of the Maritime Mamluks of Egypt and is distinguished by being the jewel of Islamic architecture in the East. Also science interpretation of the Qur’an and hadith (Original) أنشئ على يد السلطان حسن بن قلاوون فى الفترة مابين 1356و1363 م خلال حقبة حكم المماليك البحرية لمصر وتتميز بأنها درة العمارة الإسلامية بالشرق ويعد المسجد أكثر أثار القاهرة تناسقآ وانسجامآ ويمثل مرحلة نضوج العمارة المملوكية ويتكون بناءة من مسجد ودرسة للمذاهب الأربعة شافعية ومالكية وحنفية وحنابلة وكان يدرس بها أيضآ علوم تفسير القرأن والحديث النبوى

  • 5/5 Islam H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) He combined the enormity of the building, the subtlety of the industry, and the diversity of decorations, so it deserved to be described as a pure architectural masterpiece, which is the Sultan Hassan Mosque in the Citadel area in ancient Egypt, which is the pride of ancient Islamic architecture. The buildings of Cairo and Islam, and deserves to be in the first place for Arab architecture thanks to its high dome, the height of its minaret, the greatness of its breadth, the grandeur and the abundance of its decorations. ”The Moroccan traveler“ Al-Wortlani ”described it as“ a mosque that has no second place in Egypt or any other country in the splendor of the building and its splendor. Al-Maqrizi described it as "no Muslim temple is known to replicate this mosque in the Islamic lands." Sultan Hassan As for Sultan Hassan, he is one of the most prominent of the Mamluk sultans, who is Al-Nasir Hassan bin Al-Sultan, Al-Malik Al-Nasir Muhammad bin Al-Sultan Al-Malik Al-Mansur Qalawun, and the nineteenth king of Egypt is considered one of the Turkish Mamelukes, and your seventh of the children of Al-Nasir Muhammad your son Qalawun, took the Sultanate twice, one of them in 748 AH and your age At that time, he was 13 years old, then he took over again in 755 AH after being imprisoned for three years. "Hassan" began to act as a true sultan after the tutelage period ended and he reached the age of adulthood, but after a few months, a scene occurred that was frequently repeated in the Mamluk era, which is the princes' struggle for power, and he was arrested and removed from power and imprisoned, and the installation of his brother, Saleh, who was called the king Al-Saleh Salah Al-Din Saleh, and soon the war broke out again and the princes also deposed him and decided to return Sultan Hassan, and this time he returned strong, after he became a young man with experience in conflict matters at this early age. Historians described him as a firm, majestic, and courageous king, who possessed a powerful word. He did not use alcohol and did not commit apparent immorality. (Original) جمع بين ضخامة البناء، ودقة الصناعة، وتنوع الزخارف، فاستحق أن يوصف بأنه تحفة معمارية خالصة، هو مسجد السلطان حسن فى منطقة القلعة بمصر القديمة، والذى يعد فخراً للعمارة الإسلامية القديمة، قال عنه "جومار" فى كتاب وصف مصر: "إنه من أجمل مبانى القاهرة والإسلام، ويستحق أن يكون فى المرتبة الأولى للعمارة العربية بفضل قبته العالية، وارتفاع مئذنته، وعظم اتساعه وفخامة وكثرة زخارفه"، ووصفه الرحالة المغربى "الورتلانى" بأنه "مسجد لا ثانى له فى مصر ولا غيرها من البلاد فى فخامة البناء ونباهته، كما وصفه المقريزى بأنه "لا يُعرف فى بلاد الإسلام معبد من معابد المسلمين يحاكى هذا الجامع". السلطان حسن أما عن السلطان حسن فهو أحد أبرز سلاطين المماليك، وهو الناصر حسن بن السلطان الملك الناصر محمد بن السلطان الملك المنصور قلاوون، ويعتبر ملك مصر التاسع عشر من المماليك الترك، والسابع من أولاد الناصر محمد بن قلاوون، تولَّى السلطنة مرتين، إحداهما سنة 748هـ وكان عمره آنذاك 13 سنة، ثم تولى ثانية سنة 755هـ بعدما سجن لمدة ثلاث سنوات. بدأ "حسن" يتصرف كسلطان حقيقى بعدما انتهت فترة الوصاية وبلغ سن الرشد، ولكن بعد شهور قليلة وقع المشهد الذى يتكرر كثيراً فى العصر المملوكى، وهو صراع الأمراء على الحكم وتم القبض عليه وعزله من الحكم وإيداعه السجن، وتنصيب شقيقه "صالح" الذى لقب بالملك الصالح صلاح الدين صالح، وما لبثت الحرب أن اندلعت من جديد وخلعه الأمراء أيضاً وقرروا عودة السلطان حسن، وفى تلك المرة عاد قوياً، بعدما صار شاباً ذاً خبرة بأمور الصراع فى هذه السن المبكرة. وصفه المؤرخون بأنه كان ملكاً حازماً، مَهيباً، وشجاعاً، صاحب كلمة نافذة، لم يعتد شرب الخمر، ولم يرتكب فاحشة ظاهرة، فاختلف عن كثير من ملوك وأمراء المماليك،كما كان ذكيا وعاقلاً، رفيقاً بالرعية، ومتديناً وشهما.

  • 5/5 Nita B C. 4 years ago on Google • 310 reviews
    This beautiful mosque is 700 years old. Built by Sultan Hassan around 1360AD. The Sultan unfortunately was murdered by his army commander before it was finished. It is a beautiful piece of architecture, that is associated with the Mamluk period. It is open between 8am and 4.30pm. It would be wise to take a guide who knows his way around, than to fall prey to hustlers who will show you around and ask for a tip. I was surprised to see them within the mosque premises. There is a place to keep your shoes, for a tip of course! Wear thick socks as the floors are cold and hard on your feet. Carry a water bottle and wear clothes that cover your legs. For women, a scarf over your head, would be nice. It is not necessary, but would act as a mark of respect.

  • 5/5 Ionut S. 2 years ago on Google
    Massive mosque built in the 14 C. It used to be the largest mosque in the world at that time. It was so massive that some rebel emirs used it as a fortress from where they attacked Cairo Citadel, located on top of the next cliff. In 1500, Mameluke Sultan Janbalat, anticipating another rebel attack from the mosque, ordered it demolished; however, after three days of unsuccessful demolition attempts on the mosque's southeastern (Citadel-facing) walls, he was forced to give up. In 1517, the very last Mamluk sultan, Tumanbay, took refuge inside the mosque in an attempt to evade capture by the victorious Ottoman army as it took control of Cairo, resulting in the Ottomans bombarding the mosque with cannonballs from the Citadel. These demolition attempts, however, drew criticism from Cairo's population, which subsequently pressured authorities into repairing damages. It is challenging to figure out how this construction impressed the people after inauguration, back in 1363. It is also believed that limestone from the Pyramids of Giza was quarried for use in the mosque's construction. The mosque hosts four Islamic schools (madrassas) and accommodation for their students. There’s a shoes wardrobe at the entrance where the visitors can leave their shoes before visiting the mosque. It’s OK to tip the shoes keeper with 5 Egyptian Pounds for the service. A few kittens were playing around while I was removing my shoes.

    Looks quite imposing from the outside. The city and courtyard is hot and dusty. You pay 80 egp to enter and once you get into the building its at least 3 to 4 degrees cooler and very peaceful! High ceilings and some impressive architecture. Highly recommend a visit.

  • 4/5 Joshua K. 3 years ago on Google
    A man of the market give me a tour of this mosque. What stood out to me were the alabaster pillars. It's very large and forms a perimeter with a bare ground courtyard in the midle. There is some gold in the design as well, I'm told 18k. The lights and fans distract from the design, and do not compliment it. The doorways are amazing! There are however some Arabic design low hanging lights that do compliment the design. I tried to capture those. The Koran design in the ceiling is neat. If you are into mosques, this is for you. If you're not, this won't be worth your time.

    once the largest mosque in the world, it is still impressive after 700 years. The best part of the mosque is the Madrassa and the four enormous arches beneath which four schools of Sunni Islam are taught. If you visit one mosque in Cairo, visit this one. you'll not regret it.

    Pros: ● It's one of the most beautiful historical mosques in Egypt with all the spirituality you feel when you enter it ● It's very large and spacious ● Great place to hangout and have a little walk ● Great place to take photos or to start drawing ● Overlooks Salah el din citadel ● It's very close to other historical places Cons: ● It might be hard sometimes to find a parking spot for your car ● It's not open all the time it closes frequently ● The places near it might seem a little bit off with their bad looks buildings and stores

    The architecture of the place is magnificent. It has a long old history. Even Obama visited it before. It has small corridors then you enter a huge center which makes you feel the majesty of God. It used to be a school for the four Islamic doctrines. Yet, the government needs to take care of it a bit more.

    Beautiful mosque and architecture. Please be aware that there is entrance fee of 80 Egyptian dollars for adults and 40 for students. I felt although this is an archaeological place there should be no charge for Muslims coming to offer prayers. Nevertheless I piad the money and Prayed jumma at the mosque and was amazing. Very close to Citadel. There are also tombs in the mosque which is open to public. The complex has two different mosques close to one another.

    Beautiful building but it looks unused and does not have the atmosphere like other places of that kind. There are more interesting places in Cairo. It is extremely dark inside. Considering the mosque is not old the architecture could be more open and friendly.

    أنشأ المسجد السلطان حسن بن الناصر محمد بن قلاوون، في 748 هـ - 1356 م، واكتمل بناؤه بعدها بسبع سنوات، لكن السلطان حسن قتل في إحدى المعارك قبل انتهاء إنشاء المسجد ولم يعثر على جثمانه، ومن ثم لم يدفن في الضريح الذي بني خصيصا له أسفل قبة المسجد العملاقة، بينما دفن فيه ولداه الشهاب أحمد وإسماعيل. يعتبر هذا المسجد بحق أعظم المساجد المملوكية وأجلها شأنا، فقد جمع بين ضخامة البناء وجلال الهندسة، وتوفرت فيه دقة الصناعة وتنوع الزخرف، كما تجمعت فيه شتى الفنون والصناعات، فنرى دقة الحفر في الحجر ممثلة في زخارف المدخل ومقرنصاته البديعة. ولعل أكثر ما يبهر الزائرين للمسجد هو الباب العالي الذي تزينه النقوش، والذي يقودك إلى ممر ضيق نسبيا قبل أن ينفتح على صحن شاسع تتوسطه قبة تغطي مكان الوضوء، بالإضافة إلى النقوش الرخامية المحفورة في المحراب وإيوان القبلة وأيضا في ساحة الضريح أسفل القبة، والتي تزينها آيات قرآنية بالخط الكوفي.

    هو أحد المساجد الأثريّة الشهيرة بالقاهرة. يوصف بأنه درة العمارة الإسلامية بالشرق، ويعد أكثر آثار القاهرة الإسلامية تناسقاً وانسجاماً، ويمثل مرحلة نضوج العمارة المملوكية. أنشأه السلطان الناصر حسن بن الناصر محمد بن قلاوون خلال الفترة من 757هـ/1356م إلى 764هـ/1363م خلال حقبة حكم المماليك البحرية لمصر. يتكون البناء من مسجد ومدرسة للمذاهب الأربعة (الشافعية والحنفية والمالكية والحنابلة)، وكان يْدَرَّس بها أيضاً علوم تفسير القرآن، الحديث النبوي، القراءات السبع، بالإضافة إلى مُكتِّبين لتحفيظ الأيتام القرآن وتعليمهم الخط. ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ ويقع المسجد حالياً بميدان صلاح الدين (ميدان الرميلة) بحي الخليفة التابع للمنطقة الجنوبية بالقاهرة، وبجواره عدة مساجد أثرية تتمثل في مسجد الرفاعي، مسجد المحمودية، مسجد قاني باي الرماح، مسجد جوهر اللالا، بالإضافة إلى مسجد محمد علي، ومسجد الناصر قلاوون بقلعة صلاح الدين، ومتحف مصطفى كامل

    This is a must see on any tour of old Islamic Cairo. The mosque itself is a gem of a place to visit. If you can ask your tour guide to see if he can arrange a reading of the prayers inside sultan Hassan burial room. The acoustics are amazing to listen to the prayers.

    After visiting the mosque for like nearly ten times through the past four years, I can say it is at the top three three mosques in Egypt as If you are ever searching for inner peace, this is for sure the place to visit and it is absolutely for free, you can feel the greatness at every inch of the mosque and praying in Ramadan is just another level It is for sure a must visit place while visiting Egypt

    Majestic structure with picturesque design, built across it Rifa'i mosque also with magnificent depiction. But last time i visited it, was too crowded with bulk amounts of human, a bit difficult to perform prayer properly. But overall, such a pleasurable moments been there.
