The Masjids of Makkah

In the Name of Allaah, the All-Merciful...

Makkah is home to hundreds of masjids. Let's take a look at some of them now:

The Ka'bah (Al-Masjid Al-Haraam)

The Masjids of Makkah

The house that Prophet Ibraaheem built, the first house built dedicated to the worship of Allaah stands as the center of the Islaamic world, attracting millions and millions of visitors every year. The source of the Well of Zamzam is nearby, as well as the hills of As-Safaa' and Al-Marwaa. Various lessons are found here throughout the day and night.

As one of the residents of Makkah describes Al-Masjid Al-Haraam:

"...and whenever I feel a need to get away from the pressures of everyday life, the Ka'bah is right there any time of the day or night! It is so peaceful - sometimes all you hear are the footsteps making their rounds on that cool marble floor..."
