The Bibi-Heybat Mosque in Baku, Azerbaijan, is a stunning example of Islamic architecture and an important religious and cultural site. Originally constructed in the 13th century during the Shirvanshah dynasty, the mosque was destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1936. It was meticulously rebuilt in the 1990s based on photographs and historical records. The mosque complex includes the tomb of Ukeyma Khanum, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad, making it a significant pilgrimage site for Muslims.
