The Qarawiyyin Mosque, also known as Al Quaraouiyine, was founded in 859 AD by Fatima al-Fihri, a wealthy and pious woman of Tunisian descent. Initially established as a small prayer house, it rapidly grew in prominence due to its strategic location in Fez, a key center of trade, culture, and learning in the medieval Islamic world. The mosque was expanded several times over the centuries, with notable contributions from the Almoravid, Almohad, and Marinid dynasties. By the 10th century, it had developed into one of the largest mosques in North Africa, with a capacity to accommodate thousands of worshippers.
