The al-Hakim Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الحاكم, romanized: Masjid al-Ḥākim), nicknamed al-Anwar (Arabic: الانور, lit. 'the Illuminated'), is a historic mosque in Cairo, Egypt. It is named after al-Ḥākim bi-Amr Allāh (985–1021), the 6th Fatimid caliph and 16th Ismāʿīlī Imam. Construction of the mosque was originally started by Caliph al-ʿAziz, the son of al-Muʿizz and the father of al-Ḥākim, in 990 CE. It was completed in 1013 by al-Ḥākim, which is why it is named after him.
