- Sultan Abul Elaa Mosque by David Roberts
- Date created: 1839
- Although the mosque was named Sultan Abu al-‘Ila, but what we must know that Abo Elelaa has nothing to do with being a sultan in the meaning of ruling Egypt, but he was one of famous Sophie’s sheikh at his time. Born in Mecca in the late 14th-century, Sultan Abu al-‘Ila moved to Egypt to be near Ahl al-Bayt.
- Constructed by Ibn al-Qanish al-Burullusi, this mosque was dedicated to Sheikh Husayn Abu ‘Ali nicknamed Sultan Abu al-’Ila. The sheikh died and was buried in the mausoleum shortly after 1485. Extensive alterations were made to the building in the nineteenth century left of the Mamluk monument only the mausoleum, entrance bay, east wall, and minaret are original. Still, it is an interesting place to visit because it is a spacious and well-tended shrine, and its colorful ornamentation indicates how many mosques of the period looked originally. The local population continues to visit the saint, whose baraka, or blessing, and intercession are still very important in their lives.
