The Imam Saad bin Aqil' Shrine (Arabic: ) is located at Tal Afar, Iraq. The 12th-century shrine contains the tomb of Saad ibn Aqil, a descendant of Aqeel ibn Abi Talib and the governor of Upper Mesopotamia. [1][2]

History[edit]

The shrine was established by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mansour al-Amadi, known as Jamal al-Din, in the year 1142.

2014 destruction[edit]

The shrine was detonated in 2014, by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[3] According to the militants, the place had become a temple for the worship of Husayn ibn Ali, second Imam of the Ahlulbayt.[4] 32 other buildings, including mosques, shrines and Hussainiyahs, were destroyed as well.[5]

2019 reconstruction[edit]

After the terrorists had left the city, the Imam Saad bin Aqil' shrine was rebuilt, along with several other Shi'ite shrines in Tal Afar.[6]
