The Madrasa of Mustafa Al-Nashār Pasha, considered one of the most prominent buildings of Ottoman architecture in Yemen, was commissioned by the first Ottoman governor of Yemen, the eponymous Mustafa Al-Nashār Pasha, in 962–63 AH / 1554 AD. The madrasa was built on the south side of Zabīd with the intention of spreading Hanafī and Shafiʿī Sunnī doctrines, replacing and eliminating Zaydī Shīʿī doctrine. It contains a mausoleum dome for Mustafa Al-Nashār Pasha and his family. The madrasa's evident Ottoman style is displayed through a main domed section and a multiple-domed portico
