Mosque containing the tomb of Kurdish Muslim scholar, tomb is largely attributed to a biblical Prophet due to local legend

The Nabi Daniel Mosque (Arabic: مسجد النبي دانيال), is a historic mosque located in Alexandria, Egypt. It is named after Muhammad Daniyal al-Mawsili, a Kurdish Muslim scholar of the Shafi'i school of thought who was buried in the mosque. The mosque is one of the places speculated to once have been the Tomb of Alexander the Great, while the actual tomb in the crypt of the mosque is erroneously attributed to the biblical prophet Daniel.[1][2][3]
