Introduction

Translated to English: Built in the early 16th century, this mosque is named after a prominent Lebanese Shiite scholar and also the father-in-law of Abbas the Great. The mosque is unique in that it does not have a courtyard or a minaret, as it was originally intended for internal use by the royal family. On the other hand, the color of its dome changes gradually with the sunlight, eventually turning pink at night.
