MEVLID-I HALIL MOSQUE

Mevlid-i Halil Mosque, also the Mevlid-i Halil Camii, Mevlid-I Halil Magarasi or Dergah Camii meaning the mosque of the birth place of God's friend (Abraham), built next to the site where prophet Ibrahim (Biblical Abraham) is believed to have been born. The structure was named as the Scarlet Church as there are numerous scarlet colored pillars inside and the mosque were constructed instead of the structure between 1170-1175 years by Nur al-Din Zengi.

The Cave of prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is believed to be the place, where prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) was born. It is accepted by the public that the water coming out of the Mevlid-i Halil Cave is the most healing water after Zam Zam.

According to the tradition his mother gave birth in a cave and hid the child there for seven years, because the evil king Nimrod wanted to kill all newborn males who could threaten his reign, topple him from his throne, and change the Pagan religion of the time.
