As-Sadat Mosque, also known as Al-Aqsab Mosque, is a historic mosque located in Damascus, dating back to the Ayyubid era. The mosque was constructed in 630 AH / 1232 CE by King Al-Ashraf Musa ibn Al-Adil Muhammad Al-Ayyubi, brother of Saladin Al-Ayyubi. Situated in the Al-Aqsab area, outside Bab Al-Salam, the mosque is named “As-Sadat” (meaning “the masters” or “the heads”) in reference to seven of the masters, companions of Ali ibn Abi Talib, who are buried there.
