Al-Qadereyya Shrine
Another prestigious Islamic site in Baghdad, part 6
Al-Qadereyya Shrine
Another prestigious Islamic site in Baghdad, situated in Rusafa, at a quarter known as Bab Al-Sheikh AbdulQader Al-Jailani, the Sheikh of Islam and the head of the Islamic scholars.
History tells that Al-Qadereyya Shrine was originally a religious school. It was built by the Hanbali scholar and pious man Sheikh Abu Said Al-Mubarak bin Ali Al-Mukharrami (died 1119 AD - 513 AH), later improved and enlarged by his pupil Sheikh AbdulQader Al-Jailani where he lived, contemplated, and taught until his death in 1165 AD.
The mausoleum and the Mosque of Sheikh AbdulQader Al-Jailani saw various construction phases. The most important of which took place in 1534 AD (941 AH) when a huge and wonderful dome was constructed over the indoor praying section of the mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. It is the biggest ever dome in Iraq to be built of bricks and gypsum, and it exists up to this date.
This shrine owns a library of 35,000 volumes, including a fine collection of Holy Qu'rans.

STORYLINE :
The violence continued in Iraq with an suicide attack on an Iraqi convoy in Fallujah, while in Baghdad clerics used Friday prayers to condemn the murder of a diplomat and call for the withdrawal of occupation forces.
There was no immediate word on casualties in the Fallujah, some 65 kilometres (40 miles) west of Baghdad.
Smoke was billowing from the area.
Hours after the explosion, U.S. and Iraqi troops opened the road in the eastern neighbourhood of Dubat and remains of human flesh and mangled cars could be seen at the scene.
Meanwhile in Baghdad, Sunni cleric Ahmed al Samarrai condemned the murder of Egyptian diplomat Ihab al-Sherif.
Speaking at Um al Qurra mosque, al Samarrai said God doesn't accept this act because it did not serve the people of Iraq.
Al-Sherif, 51, was seized on Saturday in Baghdad.
Three days later, gunmen fired on senior envoys from Pakistan and Bahrain, two Muslim nations with close ties to the United States, in apparent kidnap attempts.
Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed in a Web site posting that it had killed al-Sherif, and warned it would go after as many ambassadors as we can to punish countries that support Iraq's U.S.-backed leadership.
Meanwhile in the al Hikmah mosque in al Sadr city, Shiite cleric Abdul Zahrah al Swaidi said Iraqis lived in a state crisis because of the US-led occupation in Iraq.
Al Swaidi said a petition aimed at collecting a (m) million signatures demanding the withdrawal of coalition forces had given a blessing by Shiite cleric Muqtada al Sadr.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Islamic State deputy leader 'killed in Iraq air strike'
Iraqi sources identified Afri as Abdul Rahman al-Qaduli, who has a $7m bounty on his head
Iraq's ministry of defence published video purportedly showing the strike that killed Afri
The second-in-command of Islamic State (IS) has been killed in a US-led coalition air strike in northern Iraq, the Iraqi ministry of defence says.
Abdul Rahman Mustafa Mohammed, also known as Abu Alaa al-Afri, was inside a mosque near Tal Afar that was targeted, spokesman Brig-Gen Tahsin Ibrahim said.
There was no immediate confirmation from the US military or on IS media.
In recent weeks, there were unconfirmed reports that Afri had taken temporary charge of IS operations.
Iraqi sources claimed IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had been incapacitated as a result of an air strike in Iraq in March.
'Video'
Gen Ibrahim told the BBC that Afri was killed alongside dozens of militants who he had been meeting at the al-Shuhada (Martyrs) mosque in the village of al-Ayiadiya, near Tal Afar, where he was reportedly a well-known preacher.
Tal Afar, in the northern province of Nineveh, was seized by IS in June 2014.
The general did not specify which country carried out the air strike, but the US has been responsible for the vast majority since the coalition campaign began last August.
The ministry of defence separately published video purportedly showing the strike.
The Governor of Nineveh, Atheel al-Nujaifi, told the BBC in Washington that his contacts had confirmed Afri's death and that the air strike took place on Monday.
A Pentagon spokeswoman said it had seen the media reports but did not have anything to confirm.
On Wednesday, it announced that it carried out an air strike near Tal Afar, destroying a militant fighting position and a heavy machine-gun.
The Iraqi government has previously announced the deaths of IS leaders only for them to resurface alive.
But the BBC's Ahmed Maher in Baghdad says that if Afri's death is confirmed, it would represent another blow to IS, which has suffered a series of losses on the battlefield in recent months.
Last week, the US state department offered a reward of $7m (£4.5m) for information on a senior IS official called Abdul Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli, whom Iraqi security sources identified as Afri.
Born in 1957 or 1959 in Iraq's second city of Mosul, Qaduli joined IS forces in Syria after his release from an Iraqi prison in 2012, it said. He had previously served as the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) - a precursor of IS - in Mosul.

STORYLINE
Three people were killed on Wednesday in the latest wave of attacks in the Iraqi capital, as violence picked up in the political vacuum following March 7 national election that produced no clear winner and set off extended political wrangling.
In central Baghdad, a bomb went off at about 2 p.m. (1100 GMT) inside a warehouse, killing one civilian and wounding four, according to police and hospital officials.
Ambulances and a fire truck were seen heading to the blast site.
The bomb, which was left in the basement of the warehouse, also caused damage to nearby buildings.
Elsewhere in the capital, a high-ranking police officer was killed when a so-called sticky bomb on his car exploded as he drove to work, an Interior Ministry official said.
The official said that in addition to killing Brigadier General Arkan Ali, who served on the ministry''s anti-terrorism force, the explosion in western Baghdad''s al-Nisoor Square also injured four bystanders, a traffic policeman and another ministry official who was in the car.
Also on Wednesday, a funeral was held for a Sunni cleric killed earlier in the day.
Worshippers said prayers by Sheik Ghazi Jabouri''s simple wooden coffin, before hoisting it on their shoulders and carrying it to a nearby cemetery for burial.
Gunmen killed the 48-year-old cleric spraying him with bullets outside a Baghdad mosque where he had just finished leading morning prayers, officials said.
It was not known why Jabouri was targeted on Wednesday.
He was gunned down in a hail of automatic-weapons fire outside the al-Rahman mosque in the primarily Sunni-neighbourhood of Azamiyah in north Baghdad at about 5 a.m. (0200 GMT), a police officer said.
An army officer confirmed the report.
Both officers said witnesses reported seeing a group of gunmen on foot, but could not say exactly how many were involved.
Iraqi and US officials have blamed the spate of attacks on al-Qaida in Iraq or other extremists seizing on gaping security lapses created by the political deadlock.
In last month''s parliamentary election, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki''s coalition came in second, two seats behind the alliance headed by his archrival, former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
Lacking an undisputed winner, both coalitions are now brokering deals to combine blocs that would give them control of the parliament.

STORYLINE:
As an advance team of United Nations weapons inspectors prepare to head to Baghdad, Iraq's state-run media on Friday criticised the UN resolution that strengthens the mandate of the inspectors.
Al-Thawra, the organ of the ruling Baath party, said in a front-page editorial that the resolution was ill-intentioned and unjust.
Meanwhile, on the streets of Baghdad, people on Friday expressed support for their government's acceptance of the UN resolution.
One man said he was optimistic about the return of the inspectors.
However, the threat of war looms over the country. And during Friday prayers in one mosque in Baghdad, the Iman said the country could withstand an attack.
Iraq informed the United Nations on Wednesday that it would allow inspectors to resume the search for weapons of mass destruction, which was suspended in 1998.
The resolution warns Iraq of serious consequences if it obstructs the disarmament process - and the United States and Britain have said they will attack Iraq if it breaches the resolution.
