Imam al-Baher Mosque

The Imam al-Bahir Mosque () was a historic mosque located in the city of Mosul, Iraq. The mosque was commissioned by the Zangid ruler Badr al-Din Lu'lu' in the same year of his death. 

It contained the tomb of Imam al-Baher, which was situated next to the prayer hall. The door to the shrine was made by blue marbles, and the ledges made of marble had the Throne Verse of the Qur'an inscribed on it. The tomb was relocated by the Iraqi Heritage Conservation to the Museum of Arabic Heritage in Baghdad. Mihrab existed to the south of the tomb, and it was also made of blue marbles and adorned with the Qur'anic verses. The prayer hall was topped by the  dome. The mosque had a steel minaret as well. 

In 2014, the mosque was destroyed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant by explosives.
