The Uqba ibn Nafie Mosque or the Great Mosque of Kairouan is a mosque built by Uqba ibn Nafie in the city of Kairouan, which he founded after the conquest of Ifriqiya (present-day Tunisia) by his army.[1][2][3] At the time of its construction, the mosque was most likely simple and small in size, its ceilings resting directly on the columns, without arches connecting the columns and the ceiling. Those who later renewed its building were keen on its public appearance, its qiblah and its mihrab, and it expanded and increased its area several times and received the attention of princes, caliphs and scholars in various stages of Islamic history, until it became a prominent and important historical landmark. And the construction of the mosque in its shape, size and architectural style that we see today dates back mainly to the era of the majority state in the third century AH, i.e. the ninth century AD. The Jameh Mosque in Kairouan is one of the largest mosques in the Islamic West, with a total area of ​​about 9,700 square meters, measuring approximately 126 meters in length and 77 meters in width. The enormity of its area is also an architectural masterpiece and one of the most wonderful Islamic monuments. The Kairouan Mosque contains valuable treasures. The minbar is considered a masterpiece. It is made of carved teak wood. It is considered the oldest minbar in the Islamic world. It is still preserved in its original place and dates back to the third century AH, i.e. the ninth century AD. As well as the precious shrine of the mosque, which dates back to the fifth century AH, i.e. the eleventh AD, and it is also the oldest shrine that still preserves its original decorative elements. The external shape of the mosque suggests to the viewer that it is a huge fortress, as the walls of the mosque are thick and high, and were stretched with clear buttresses. Among his signs is that the remnants of these past nations were gathered to form a house in which the name of God is mentioned. This gives the Mosque of Kairouan a human tinge that qualifies it to become a world heritage that successive civilizations have contributed to building, and thus reflects the history of Africa spanning three thousand years. There is no emir, caliph, or sultan who strives for beautiful remembrance and good immortality, and seeks the reward of his Lord, except that he has sought a way to reconstruct or restore this mosque and improve its appearance. This mosque is a bright mirror of the manifestations of Arab-Islamic civilization in our country. The Mosque of Kairouan represents the shining face of Kairouanese architecture, which has remained one of the most prominent tributaries of Moroccan and Andalusian architecture throughout history, as the Uqba Ibn Nafeh Mosque became the dominant model and example for Moroccan mosques in general and Tunisian mosques in particular. Kairouan is located in Tunisia, 156 km from the capital, Tunis. The word Kairouan is a Persian word that entered Arabic, and it means the place of arms, the station of the army or the resting place of the convoy, and the place where people gather in the war.
