Qubbat Sitnā Zaynab (Arabic: قُبَّة سِتْنَا زَيْنَب, romanized: Mausoleum of Sitna Zaynab) is a mosque and mausoleum located in Sinjar, in the Ninawa Governorate. The original mausoleum building was built in 1239 CE by Badr al-Din Lu'lu' as part of a ruling strategy to promote Shia Islam by sponsoring the erection of shrines and tombs dedicated to Imams throughout the Ninawa Governorate.[1]
