    (Translated by Google) Suleiman Al-Khadem Mosque inside the walls of Salah El-Din Citadel... It is considered the first mosque that was established in Egypt in the Ottoman style. The mosque was built in the style of the mosques of Astana in terms of its rectangular plan, domes and minaret. It was dedicated by Suleiman Pasha to Janissary soldiers. Where he built it to fulfill the wishes of the soldiers, who were the governors of Egypt from the pashas making every effort to keep these soldiers residing in their homes in the Janissary Wall or the Wall of Salah al-Din. In particular, in order to remain isolated from the soldiers of the West, who were residing on the other side of the fortress from Bab al-Silsilah towards the Mosque of Sultan Hassan. On the other hand, building this mosque was a necessity, as the Mosque of al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun had neglected it and rarely visited it. And a mast line was written when describing the Qastah mosque. Also, one of the castle gates is known as Bab Sariya, and there was a mast line at this door. It was built by Suleiman Pasha on top of the ruins of an old Fatimid mosque, the Qusteh Mosque, in reference to Abu Mansour Qusteh, one of the men of Al-Muzaffar bin Amir Al-Jawish, Badr Al-Jamali, and appointed him governor of Alexandria. He built a university in the castle. As is clear from a foundation plaque that still exists in the basement of the Suleiman al-Khadim Mosque - in the year 535 AH (1141 AD) in the days of al-Hafiz. (Original) جامع سليمان الخادم بداخل اسوار قلعة صلاح الدين … يعتبر أول المساجد التي أنشئت في مصر على الطراز العثماني و بنى الجامع على طراز جوامع الآستانة من حيث تخطيطه المستطيل الشكل وقبابه ومئذنته. وقد خصصه سليمان باشا للجنود الانكشارية. حيث بناه تحقيقاً لرغبة الجنود، الذين كان ولاة مصر من الباشوات يبذلون كل جهدهم لكي يظل هؤلاء الجند مقيمين بمساكنهم بسور الانكشارية أو سور صلاح الدين. ولكي يظلوا على وجه الخصوص بمعزل عن جند الغرب الذين كانوا يقيمون بالجانب الآخر من القلعة من باب السلسلة تجاه جامع السلطان حسن ومن جهة أخرى كان بناء هذا الجامع ضرورة حيث كان جامع الناصر محمد بن قلاوون قد أهمل أمره وندر التردد إليه. و خُط سارية عند وصفه لجامع قسطه. كما أن أحد ابواب القلعة يعرف باسم باب سارية وكان خُط سارية عند هذا الباب. وقد شيده سليمان باشا فوق أنقاض جامع فاطمي قديم هو جامع قسطة نسبة إلى أبي منصور قسطه أحدرجال المظفر بن أمير الجيوش بدر الجمالي وعينه واليا على الاسكندرية. وقد بنى جامعه بالقلعة. كما هو واضح من لوحة تأسيسية ما زالت موجودة في قبو ببجامع سليمان الخادم - سنة 535 هـ ( 1141م) في أيام الحافظ.

    It is known as the Sariyat al-Jabal Mosque. It was established in 1528 AD. It is located inside the Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi Citadel. It was created by Suleiman Pasha Al-Khadim, who is one of the governors The Ottomans took over Egypt, so the mosque is considered one of the first mosques established in Egypt in the Ottoman style. The mosque is very beautiful in its design with marble, especially its floor, and the ceiling with its very beautiful and impressive carvings. I highly recommend visiting the mosque.

    Suleiman Pasha Al-Khadim Mosque in the citadel, known as Sariyat Al-Jabal Mosque (built in 1528), meaning 11 years after Egypt lost its distinguished status under the rule of the Mamluks and Cairo was transformed from the capital of a kingdom to a city belonging to the Ottoman Empire. It is considered the first mosque built in the Ottoman style in Egypt, but the Mamluk architecture and Cairene building culture and its influence are very clear until you see the proportions of the minaret, the marble details, and the Kufic writings on the walls. It is a really beautiful mosque. I visited it a long time ago before the restoration, and it is really a joy to see it today restored and open to the public again. The mosque was restored with government funding and by the restorers of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, for whom all thanks are due Indeed, a place with a pond appears because of the people buried in the shrine from the Fatimid days

    Suleiman Pasha Al-Khadim Mosque (Saria Al-Jabal) Suleiman Pasha Al-Khadim Mosque is located in the northern part of the Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi Citadel The mosque is registered among the Islamic monuments under No. 142 by Ministerial Resolution No. 10357 of 1951 AD. This mosque was established by the Ottoman governor Suleiman Pasha Al-Khadim Suleiman Pasha ruled Egypt for two periods, the first period from the year 931 AH / 941 AH / 1525 AD and 1535 AD for a period of ten years. Then he was assigned the rule of Egypt for the second time in the year 943 AH/945 AH 1536/1538 AD. This mosque was built on the site of an old mosque dating back to the Fatimid era, which is the mosque of Abu Mansour Qusta, governor of Alexandria in the Fatimid era in the year 535 AH 1140 AD. When the mosque was destroyed, the Ottoman governor Suleiman Pasha al-Khadim renovated it to be a headquarters for the Janissary soldiers so that there would not be a clash with the Azab sect located south of the citadel. This mosque is the first Ottoman-style mosque in Cairo The mosque has three architectural facades, the main facade is located on the southwestern side In terms of interior design, the mosque consists of two parts The northern section consists of an open courtyard surrounded by four corridors covered with shallow domes The southern section is the house of prayer, and is surmounted by a stone dome, the interior of which is decorated with various decorations, ranging from geometric, floral, and inscriptional. For the first time in Ottoman mosques, we see the Ottoman style of the minaret in the minaret of this mosque, the top of which was designed in a conical shape with ceramic tiles resembling a pencil. The mosque was known as Sariyah al-Jabal, in reference to the great companion Sariyah bin Znaim bin Amr al-Kinani, may God be pleased with him, and it is a name that has no origin.

    (Translated by Google) Sulaiman Agha al-Khadem Mosque or Sariat al-Jabal Mosque Last Citadel of Salah al-Din near Haddad Tower Likely it was a tequila The name of the mountain is said to be the Sheikh of the mosque and its resident was buried in a train in the al-Qarafa, But it is more correct that the Messenger of Allah did not enter Egypt It is not known exactly why the mosque was called the mountain mast It is the oldest mosque on Ottoman heritage (Original) مسجد سليمان أغا الخادم أو مسجد سارية الجبل أخر قلعة صلاح الدين قرب برج الحداد من المرجح انها كانت تكية وارتباط اسمها بسارية الجبل يقال أن الشيخ القائم على المسجد والمقيم فيه دفن في سكة في القرافة تسمى سارية وعرف الشيخ بسارية وانسحب الاسم على المسجد فأصبح يسمى سارية لكن الأصح أن صاحب رسول الله سارية لم يدخل مصر وغير معلوم على وجه الدقة لماذا سمي المسجد سارية الجبل وهو اقدم مسجد على التراث العثماني

    Esta mesquita relembra em muito, nas estruturas e na forma, outro monumento famoso: Santa Sofia em Istambul pois foi projetada pelo mesmo arquiteto. Hoje é mais usada como lugar turístico que propriamente um lugar de rezas
