_Al-Jum’ah Mosque

Information

Al-Jum’ah Mosque, or Friday Prayer Mosque, is located on the boundary of Madinah, and it marks the site where the prophet Mohammed led his first Jummah prayer after his immigration from Makkah.

The mosque was initially built by rocks, then demolished and renovated several times. Before the last renovation and expansion, the mosque was built over a small mound, with one dome made of red bricks, a length of 8 metres, width of 4.5 metres, and height of 5.5 metres. There was a yard with a length of 8 metres, and width of 6 metres, attached to the eastern part. The renovation in 1988 by the Ministry of Awqaf of the Saudi government, was accompanied by the demolition of the old part and the building of a new part, which includes a residence for an imam and a muezzin, a library, A Quran memorization school, a female prayer room, and a bathroom. In 1991, the mosque was reopened to the public with a capacity of 650 worshippers.

The mosque includes a minaret, a main dome in the middle of a praying area and four small domes on its sides.
