Khanqah Biara, located in Kurdistan, Iraq, was established by Sheikh Omar Diaaeddin Al-Naqshbandi in 1307 Hijri at a site that was previously a garden. As part of Al Jazeera's 'Story of the Mosque' series, the narrative is shared by Fakher Hussein, the director of the Khanqah, describing the vision of Sheikh Omar and the mosque's evolution. Initially serving as a religious and educational institution, it addressed the educational vacuum in the region during its inception. Over the years, the mosque’s role in disseminating knowledge grew significantly, becoming a center for Islamic jurisprudence and Arabic language studies. Mahmoud Al-Khailani, a professor at the mosque, emphasizes that instruction is conducted solely in Arabic, covering extensive areas of language study such as grammar, rhetoric, and dialectics before students engage in studies of Sharia sciences including jurisprudence, hadith, and recitation. The article also highlights the enduring tradition of 'religious quarters' within the mosque grounds, as mentioned by Ismail Al-Maqdisi, a Palestinian student attending the mosque for studies, illustrating the continuation of this educational method and the mosque's lasting impact on the community's religious education.
