The Abu Hanifa Mosque (Arabic: مسجد أبي حنيفة, romanized: Masjid Abī hanīfah), also known as the Grand Imam Mosque (Arabic: جامع الإمام الأعظم, romanized: Jāmi` al-imām al-aʿẓam), is one of the most prominent Sunni mosques in Baghdad, Iraq.
It is built around the tomb of Abu Hanifah an-Nu'man, the founder of the Hanafi Madhhab or school of Islamic religious jurisprudence. It is in the al-Adhamiyah district of northern Baghdad, which is named after Abu Hanifa's reverential epithet Al-imām al-aʿẓam ("The Great Leader").
American troops damaged it on April 11, 2003: its clock tower was hit by a rocket.[2]
