History of Al-Azhar Mosque

Al-Azhar Mosque is simply one of a kind, as there is no one like it in the world. In 970 A.D., the Islamic Shi’ite Dynasty, the Fatimids that ruled Egypt from the 10th to 12th centuries, constructed the mosque as a place of worship and research in Islamic studies. The mosque’s main purpose was to spread Shi’ite beliefs to the Arabian community and maybe the entire world. But despite that, all the Sunni and Shi’i students put their differences aside and worked together to create something extraordinary, The mosque is a true symbol of pluralism and the only regulating authority on Islamic theology in the entire world.
