The Al-Imam Muhsin Mosque (Arabic: جامع الإمام محسن‎) was a historic mosque in Mosul, Iraq. It was located in Al-Shifa' neighborhood, near the Bash Tapia Castle and in front of the Mausoleum of Yahya Abu al-Qasim. The mosque was initially built as a madrasa known as Madrasa al-Nouri, which was commissioned by the Seljuk ruler Nour ad-Din ibn Ezzadeen in the late-12th century. It became a mausoleum after refurbishment by the Zangid ruler Badr al-Din Lu'lu'.[1] He turned one of the rooms into a shrine commemorating Al-Imam Muhsin, and added a musholla (prayer space) and a minbar. The mosque was destroyed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant in 2015 after an attempt to loot the mosque.[1][2]
