The Mausoleum of Umar Suhrawardi, or the Mosque and the Tomb of the Sheikh Umar Suhrawardi (Arabic: جامع ومرقد الشيخ عمر السهروردي, romanized: Suhrawardi Mausoleum),[1] is a historic complex of a mausoleum and a mosque, located in Baghdad, Iraq. The complex dates back to the Abbasid Caliphate and is dedicated to Shihab al-Din 'Umar al-Suhrawardi, the founder of Suhrawardi order of Sufism. The mosque is located between the Sheikh Umar Street and Bab al-Wastani of the Baghdad wall, in the southern part of al-Rusafa. The mosque can be overlooked from the Muhammad al-Qasim Highway and approximately one kilometre (zero point six two miles) away from the city center.[2]
