The Uzbek Mosque (Arabic: جامع الأزبك) is a historic Mosque located on al-Rusufa district of Baghdad, Iraq. It is distinguished by its architecture and history that dates back to the 17th century. The mosque is also unique due to its association with the Uzbek people (Whom the mosque gets its name from) who immigrated and lived in Baghdad.[1][2] Sheikh Jalal al-Hanafi was also its imam and preacher in the late 1930s.
