MASJID E JINN

Masjid al-Jinn is a historic mosque located in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. It is traditionally believed to be the place where a group of jinn listened to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) reciting the Holy Qur'an, accepted Islam, and pledged their faith. This event is mentioned in Surah Al-Jinn (Chapter 72) of the Qur'an. The mosque is an important Islamic heritage site and is visited by many pilgrims during their journey to Makkah to remember this significant event in Islamic history.

Destination Overview

1 . It is situated between Shara-e-Qasheia and Muhallah "Hujun" near to Jannat-ul-Moalla (Makkah's holy Graveyard) 2 . Before starting "Vahee" (Quran), Jins had power to reach to the skies where they used to pick some decissions or orders discussed by angels. Jins used to come to the earth and tell what they heard. One or two among them (wholly or Partially) become true. But after starting of "Vahee", they felt that now there was some power which had been restricting them to go to skies. 3. Once a group of Jins was flying over the place where now this mosque (Masjid-e-Jin) is situated, they heard the holy words of Quran from the mouth of Prophet Syedna Muhammad sallalla ho allihi waslam who had been offering morning prayer. After listening the holy words of Quran, Jins said with each others that those were the words (sound) which had been preventing them to go to skies. Jins realized the reality of true faith and they came down. Listened the verses of holy Quran and accepted Islam on the hands of Prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihi waslam at this place. Because of such reason this mosque is called "Masjid-e-Jinn". 4 . It is now constructed by light grey marble. previously it was Red tiled mosque situated very near to "Haram" between two muhallas, named Shoab-Amir and muhalla Salmania. This place can be found if anyone comes out from "Haram" through 'Bab-e-Mararwa where saie comes to an end.
