Džamija Al-Askari

Džamija Al ‘Askarī ili Džamija/svetište ‘Askariyya (arapski: مرقد الامامين علي الهادي والحسن العسكريMarqad al-Imāmayn ‘Alī l-Hādī wa l-Ħassan al-‘Askarī) je šijitsko muslimansko svetište smješteno u iračkom gradu Sāmarrā udaljeno 125 km od Bagdada. Predstavlja jednu od najvažnijih šijitskih džamija na svijetu, a sagrađena je 944.

Ostaci 10. i 11. šijitskih imama, ‘Alī al-Hādīja ("an-Naqī") i njegovog sina Hasan al-‘Askarīja, poznatih kao al-‘Askariyyain ("dva ‘Askarīja"), su pokopani u svetištu. U džamiji su također pokopani i Hakimah Khātūn, sestra ‘Alī al-Hādīja te Narjis Khātūn, majka Muħammad al-Mahdīja. Uz svetište se nalazi još jedna džamija, sagrađena iznad mjesta gdje je Dvanaesti ili "Skriveni" imam Muħammad al-Mahdī ušao u Manju okultaciju.

U suvremenom dobu je postala poznata nakon što joj je kupola uništena u bombaškom napadu od strane ekstremista u februaru 2006. dok su preostala dva minareta uništena u sljedećem bombaškom napadu u junu 2007. što je izazvalo sveopći bijes među iračkim šijitima i znatno doprinijelo eskalaciji sektaškog nasilja u Iraku. Dvije godine nakon toga džamija je restaurirana i otvorena za javnost.

    Abstract (characteristic of Smithsonian feature articles): "In 2006, sectarian violence engulfed Iraq after terrorists destroyed the Mosque of the Golden Dome, built on a site sacred to Shiites for 1,100 years. Today, Sunnis and Shiites are working together to restore the shrine and the war-torn city."
