مزار حضرت ہابیلؑ
Nabi Habeel Mosque “Mosque of the Prophet Abel”, is a shrine dedicated to Habeel, located on the west mountains of Damascus, near the Zabadani Valley, overlooking the villages of the Barada river (Wadi Barada), in Syria, the Levant.
This mosque is believed to contain the grave of Abel (Arabic: Hābīl) the son of Adam, as believed by Muslims, who are frequent visitors of this mosque for ziyarat. The mosque was built by Ottoman Wali Ahmad Pasha in 1599, and it is said to have 40 mihrabs. As the story goes, Abel was killed by his brother Cain (Arabic: Qābīl), which is known to be the first homicide of mankind.
