ضياع في القدس: مسجد وقبر النبي عكاشة

An exploration of the deserted Nabi ‘Ukkasha mosque and tomb in western Jerusalem that only one hundred years ago welcomed worshippers to the shrine of a companion of Prophet Muhammad. The significance of the site, its history, including its desecration in 1929, and its current lack of protection are highlighted. The essay is part of the authors’ ongoing book project of lost or forgotten memorials, monuments, and places in historic Palestine.
