Al-Hadi Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع ٱلْهَادِي, romanized: Jāmiʿ Al-Hādī)[1] or Al-Imam Al-Hadi Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع ٱلْإِمَام ٱلْهَادِي, romanized: Jāmiʿ Al-Imām Al-Hādī) is one of the historical mosques of the ancient city of Sa'ada, Yemen. It is located east–west of the city, was built in around 897 C.E., and is named after Imam Yahya Bin Al-Hussein, the founder of the state of Imams of Yemen. The mosque became the oldest place for the teaching of Zaidi maddhab in the Arabian Peninsula.
