๐Ÿ‘‰ Administrative districts in Baghdad in the context of Kadhimiya

Kadhimiya (Arabic: ูฑู„ู’ูƒูŽุงุธูู…ููŠูŽู‘ุฉ, pronounced [alหˆkaหรฐหคษชmijหa]) or Kadhimayn (ูฑู„ู’ูƒูŽุงุธูู…ูŽูŠู’ู†) is a northern neighbourhood of the city of Baghdad, Iraq. It is about 5 kilometres (3.1ย mi) from the city's center, on the west bank of the Tigris. 'Kadhimiya' is also the name of one of nine administrative districts in Baghdad. As the place of al-Kadhimiya Mosque, even before its inception into the urban area of Baghdad, it is regarded as a holy city by Twelver Shia Muslims.

The neighborhood is home to families of upper class aristocratic class, including Al-Chalabi family, who historically governed Kadhimiya and administered the town's affairs between 1720 and 1865. In addition, some of its people worked in goldsmithing and trade. Before the 14 July Revolution, Kadhimiya was inhabited by the parliament members of the royal era. Some of the popular politicians and leaders such as Muhammad Fadhel al-Jamali hailed from the region.
