Mosul, in Northern Iraq, is the country's second largest city and the
north's major center for trade, industry and communications. Situated in
the north western part of the country, on the west bank of Tigris, and
close to the ruined Assyrian city of Nineveh, Mosul is called Al-Fayha'
(the paradise), Al-Khadhra' (the green), and sometimes described as the
Pearl of the North. In this article, the history of the city is narrated
and the contribution of its scholars to Muslim Heritage in various
domains is described through notable examples.
