Review
...deals with the history of the Masjid, its design, the engravings and inscriptions on its internal and external features. -- -by Dr Ayman Fu'ad Sayyid

Product Description
Al Jame'al Juyushi was built by Amir al Juyush, Badr al Jamali (RA) in the year 478H/1085AD. This Fatemi masjid was built on an edge of the Muqattam hills overlooking the city of al Qahera.

We have discussed al Juyushi's historical significance in the context of the Fatemi Dawah. It reflects the eminence of the Aimamat Fatemiyeen (AS), their Doat and represents their victories. Imam al Mustansir Billah (AS) guided his Doat for the preparation of satr. The Imam's (AS) fata constructed the Masjid during this period leading up to satr. Our research discusses the significance of al Juyushi and its architecture, its recent restoration, the Fatemi Tayyebi community's replication of its designs in their current architecture.

This book will be appreciated by those who have a love for Fatemid art architecture and literature. For those who love the lanes and by-lanes of Cairo.
