The Shaykh Rajab Mosque (Arabic:جامع الشيخ رجب), formerly known as the Al-Barani Mosque, is a historic mosque located at Rawa, Iraq. It is named for Sayyid Rajab al-Rawi al-Rifa'i, a patron saint and follower of the Rifa'i Sufi order.[4][5] The mosque is divided into two parts; the modern part is still used for prayer while the historic part dating to 1625 is flooded and hence is not used for prayer.[1][2]
