Scores of stories have been told about this curiously named mosque. The most famous of the accounts says that on this spot Mohamed (PBUH) recited the Quran to the Jinn tribe, who then embraced Islam and became believers.
The original Masjid Al Jinn was built in 1700 – and was originally underground. Recent additions to the historical mosque include angular architecture and a distinctly modern minaret.
Masjid Al Jinn is known by several names, including Masjid Haras, Masjid Bayah, the Mosque of Allegiance and the Mosque of Guards. It is just north of the Holy Mosque, next to Jannat Al Mu’alla, on Al Masjid Al Haram Road. Although worshiping at this mosque is not an obligatory part of Hajj, it is still thrilling to stand at the very spot where the Jinn tribe embraced Islam.
