Damascus is an ancient city of mosques and schools, whose monuments tell the story of many states. In the al-Uqaybah quarter of old Damascus stands a blessed landmark built in the seventh century AH, still fragrant today with the ink of scholars and the breeze of the righteous: the Tawbah Mosque. If its walls could speak, they would dictate a rich history of the circles of knowledge and remembrance they have witnessed.
This book contains the history of the mosque and its builder, its description past and present and the renovations it has undergone, the events it has witnessed, and biographies of its preachers, teachers, Qur'an reciters and imams.
