Ibrahim El-Desouki Mosque

The Ibrahim El-Desouki Mosque is a mosque and shrine complex in the city of Desouk, in Egypt's Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. It is named after Ibrahim al-Dasuqi, a Sufi mystic and Ash'ari scholar, and is also known as the Ibrahimi Mosque and the Desouki Mosque. The shrine contains the tomb of al-Dasuqi and that of his brother Sharaf al-Din Musa, kept in a separate room within the mosque. The building also holds a stone bearing an imprint that is believed to date from the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Sufis regard al-Dasuqi as one of the four principal spiritual poles (aqtab), and the site is a major Sufi pilgrimage destination that draws visitors from Egypt and abroad. Its architecture combines modern and traditional Islamic styles.

The mosque dates to the Mamluk era, in the 7th century AH. The English-language source gives the year of construction as 1277 CE and counts it among the oldest mosques in Egypt, while the Arabic source states that it was built by Ibrahim al-Dasuqi himself.

Over the centuries the mosque has undergone several expansions and restorations, and it has become one of the best-known landmarks of Egypt.
