Al-Sulaymani Mihrab was built in 861/1456-7 during the era of [[Malik al-Ashraf Abu Nasr Inal]], the Mamluk sultan (Ruled: 857/1453-4 - 865/1460-1) by the supervisor of the affairs of [[al-Masjid al-Haram]], Tughan Sheikh al-Ahmadi al-Hanafi (881/1476-7) the manager of al-Masjid al-Haram.<ref> | Al-Sulaymani Mihrab was built in 861/1456-7 during the era of [[Malik al-Ashraf Abu Nasr Inal]], the Mamluk sultan (Ruled: 857/1453-4 - 865/1460-1) by the supervisor of the affairs of [[al-Masjid al-Haram]], Tughan Sheikh al-Ahmadi al-Hanafi (881/1476-7) the manager of al-Masjid al-Haram.<ref>Sakhāwī, ''al-Tuḥfat al-laṭīfa, vol. 1, p. 474; Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 469; Yūsuf, ''Maʿālim dār al-hijra'', p. 250,251.</ref> Before that, leaders of congregational prayer used to stand in [[the Prophet's Mihrab]] and in the [[al-'Uthmani Mihrab]] during the hajj season. Tughan Sheikh built a new mihrab in the mosque so that a separate congregational prayer could be held with a Hanafi leader. | ||
After this date, the first congregational prayer was held following Shafi'i imam standing in the [[Prophet's Mihrab]]. Then a Hanafi imam led another congregational prayer in the new mihrab (which became known as the al-Hanafi mihrab and later the al-Sulaymani Mihrab). The Hanafi and Shafi'i imams performed the Tarawih prayer simultaneously on the nights of [[Ramadan]].<ref>Samhudi,''Wafa' al-wafa'', vol. 2, p. 210; | After this date, the first congregational prayer was held following Shafi'i imam standing in the [[Prophet's Mihrab]].
