Abstract

The construction of mosques holds exceptional importance within Islamic architecture, and these places can be considered as one of the most significant manifestations of Islamic art and architecture. Since there have been fewer studies specifically focusing on mosques in Egypt during a particular period within Islamic countries, our research aims to investigate how the architecture of mosques during the Mamluk period in Egypt was influenced by Iranian architecture. To achieve this, a number of mosques relevant to the studied period were examined using a descriptive-analytical approach. Based on the research findings, the utilization of Iranian architecture in Egyptian mosques demonstrates its cultural and artistic influence among Islamic countries. Considering that Mamluk architecture represents a historical period in the Islamic world and its outstanding contributions are evident in valuable structures such as mosque architecture, it is notable that as we witness changes in governing authorities throughout Egypt's historical eras, we also observe corresponding transformations in mosque architecture. Ultimately, it can be said that mosque architecture in Egypt has evolved in accordance with the worldviews of governing powers in each era, with the Mamluk architecture heavily influenced by the architecture of the Seljuk period in Iran.
