اليوم تم تفجر الجامع وهدم منارة الحدباء التاريخية ... على ايدي اقبح وانذل البشر (داعش) .وهذا ماتبقى منها ... The Great Mosque of al-Nuri (Arabic: جامع النوري‎ Jāmiʿ an-Nūrī) was a mosque in Mosul, Iraq. It was famous for its leaning minaret, which gave the city its nickname "the hunchback" (الحدباء al-Ḥadbāˈ). Tradition holds that the mosque was first built in the late 12th century, although it underwent many renovations over the years. The mosque withstood various hostile invading forces over its 850-year history until it was destroyed with its distinctive minaret in the Battle of Mosul in 2017.Iraqi troops attributed the destruction of the Great Mosque to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in a vandalistic move to destroy it rather than let it go from their hold. It had held symbolic importance to ISIL and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as it was used in 2014 by the militants to self-declare their "caliphate". ISIL's black flag had been flying on the 45-metre minaret since June 2014, after their militants surged across Iraq and Syria seizing territory, and they had promised to never let their flag be lowered from it. Contrary to official accounts and local eyewitnesses, ISIL alleged that U.S. forces destroyed it. ISIL's claim was not substantiated. The BBC reported that "IS accused the United States-led coalition aircraft of bombing the site, but experts said a video circulated online appeared to show charges inside the structures exploding." Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi stated that the destruction of the mosque by ISIL was a "declaration of defeat", and that "[b]lowing up the al-Hadba minaret and the al-Nuri mosque amounts to an official acknowledgment of defeat [by ISIS]."

Nûreddin Mahmud Zengi'nin yaptırdığı en büyük ve en güzel eseri (1172-73) yılında tamamlanan bu Musul Ulucami'dir (Câmiu’n-Nûrî). Maalesef 2017 yılında İŞİD tarafından tahrip edilmiştir. Zengiler Devleti'nin kurucusu olan Sultan Nureddin Mahmud Zengi, 1118 yılında Halep’te doğmuştur. Yazısının güzel olması, çok okuması, hadis ezberleyip rivayet etmesi ve fıkıh bilgisiyle ilgili rivayetler onun iyi bir eğitim aldığını göstermektedir. Diğer yandan gençlik döneminde askerî bakımdan temayüz ettiği ve babası İmâdüddin Zengî’nin yanında zaman zaman savaşlara katıldığı da bilinmektedir. Nureddin Mahmut, hayatı boyunca Müslümanların birlik ve beraberliğini temin için uğraşmış ve Komutanı Selahaddin Eyyubi aracılığıyla Mısır'daki Şii Fatımi Halifeliği'ne ve İslam Dünyasındaki ikiliğe son vererek, bu hedefini gerçekleştirmiştir. Yine ömrü boyunca Filistin, Suriye'yi işgal eden ve Kudüs'te katliamlar yapan Haçlılar'a karşı mücadele vermiştir. Ömrü, bu uğurda savaş meydanlarında geçmiştir. Kudüs'ü Haçlılar'dan geri almak, kendisine nasip olmamakla birlikte, bu idealini ölümünden sonra özenle yetiştirdiği büyük komutanı Selahaddin Eyyubi'ye nasip olmuştur. Hayattaki üçüncü hedefi de İttihad-ı İslam ve Kudüs'ün kurtarılmasından sonra, İstanbul'un Fethedilmesi'dir. Bu ideali de ölümünden yaklaşık üç asır sonra, yine bir Türk Hakanı olan Fatih Sultan Mehmet tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nûreddin Mahmud, Mısır’a gitmek üzere hazırlık yaptığı sırada, Dımaşk Kalesi’nde 15 Mayıs 1174 tarihinde vefat etmiş ve önce iç kaledeki bir odaya gömülmüş, daha sonra Havvâsin denilen çarşının girişinde Hanefîler için yaptırdığı en-Nûriyyetü’l-Kübrâ adını taşıyan medresesinin girişindeki türbesine nakledilmiştir. Nûreddin Mahmud, adaleti ve dindarlığından dolayı “el-Melikü’l-âdil” lakabıyla anıldığı gibi, Haçlılar’la yapılan savaşlarda şehid olmayı çok arzu ettiğinden dolayı “Şehîd” lakabıyla da anılmıştır. Hanefî fıkhını iyi bildiği, ancak kendisinde mezhep taassubu bulunmadığı, hadisle de meşgul olduğu, geceleri zikir yaptığı, zikre kalkmak isteyenleri uyandırmak amacıyla Dımaşk Kalesi’nde belli saatlerde davul çaldırdığı kaydedilmektedir. İbnü’l-Esîr, Hulefâ-yi Râşidîn ile Ömer b. Abdülazîz’den sonra, hükümdar olarak Nûreddin Mahmud'dan daha iyisini, daha adaletli ve merhametlisini görmediğini söylemektedir. Nureddin Mahmud, Kudüs’ün fethedileceğine inandığından Mescid-i Aksâ’ya konulmak üzere Halep’te sanat değeri çok yüksek bir ağaç minber yaptırmıştır. Selâhaddîn-i Eyyûbî’nin Kudüs’ü fethettiğinde Mescid-i Aksâ’ya koydurduğu bu minber, 1969 yılında bir Yahudi tarafından kasten çıkarılan yangında maalesef yanmıştır. Rabbim, bu güzel insana rahmet etsin ve mekanını Firdevs...
