dir="rtl">المسجد الحسيني الكبير</span>) is a mosque in <a href="/wiki/Amman" title="Amman">Amman</a>, Jordan. It is one of the oldest mosques in the city, and one of the main landmarks of its <a href="/wiki/Downtown_Amman" title="Downtown Amman">downtown</a> area. </p><p>Originally built as an <a href="/wiki/Mosque_of_Omar" title="Mosque of Omar">Omari Mosque</a> during the <a href="/wiki/Umayyad_Caliphate" title="Umayyad Caliphate">Umayyad Caliphate</a> in the 7th century CE, on the site of an older <a href="/wiki/Byzantine" class="mw-redirect" title="Byzantine">Byzantine</a> basilica, it was described by Arab geographer <a href="/wiki/Al-Maqdisi" title="Al-Maqdisi">Al-Maqdisi</a> to have been located nearby markets in the 10th century CE. After Amman was resettled by <a href="/wiki/Circassians" title="Circassians">Circassians</a> in 1880s, the mosque's prayer hall was cleared out, and its roof was reconstructed. </p><p>The original mosque was demolished by orders of <a href="/wiki/Abdullah_I_of_Jordan" title="Abdullah I of Jordan">Abdullah I</a> in 1924, and was rebuilt and renamed after his father <a href="/wiki/Hussein_bin_Ali,_King_of_Hejaz" title="Hussein bin Ali, King of Hejaz">Sharif Hussein bin Ali</a>. The Grand Husseini Mosque was one of the few first new buildings to be constructed after the <a href="/wiki/Emirate_of_Transjordan" title="Emirate of Transjordan">Emirate of Transjordan</a> was established in 1921, in addition to the <a href="/wiki/Raghadan_Palace" title="Raghadan Palace">Raghadan Palace</a> and a small prison. </p><p>Currently, the mosque is one of the main landmarks of the downtown area, has a small plaza in front of it, and is located nearby several markets. Since the mosque was rebuilt in 1924, it has witnessed four reconstructions. For almost a century, the Grand Husseini Mosque has been serving as a gathering point for political demonstrations in Amman. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading
