Mosque of the Jinn (Pass by)
We continue to the Mosque of the Jinn, one of Makkah’s most historically significant mosques.
It marks the site mentioned in Surah Al-Jinn, where a group of jinn listened to the Prophet (ﷺ) recite the Qur’an, accepted Islam, and pledged their allegiance to him — an event that signifies the universality of the Prophet’s message.
