Minbar of the Ibrahimi Mosque
- ... that the minbar (mosque pulpit) of the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron was originally made for a Fatimid shrine in Ascalon? Source 1: "Haram al-Ibrahimi". Discover Islamic Art, Museum With No Frontiers: "The wooden minbar which stands today to the right of the mihrab, dates to the Fatimid period and was commissioned by Badr al-Din Jamali in AH 484 / AD 1092. It was brought to the Haram by Salah al-Din from Ashqelon (which lies roughly 50 km south of Jaffa)." Source 2: Bloom, Jonathan (1998). The Minbar from the Kutubiyya Mosque. p. 28 (endnote #11: "The minbar ordered by the Fatimid vizier Badr al-Jamali for the shrine of Husayn at Ashquelon (1091-92; later transferred to the Haram al-Khalil mosque, Hebron) is the earliest extant example."
- Reviewed: Guru Ram Rai Darbar Sahib (but I did this a while ago; this is now the first time I believe I actually qualify for the QPQ requirement, with 4 previous DYK nominations)
- Comment: There are a few technical terms here like "minbar" and "Fatimid" that might be especially unfamiliar to general readers; I'm happy to suggest some minor simplifications depending on what priorities are, or hear other feedback. (E.g. maybe "Shia" instead of "Fatimid"; it's more vague or less precise but still accurate and more likely to be familiar.) Other minor note: I've put "Ascalon" as it seems to be a standard English spelling used in a lot of history books, but "Ashkelon" is the standard Israeli transliteration nowadays, so I'd endorse either one.
