Al-Haram Mosque

Al-Haram Mosque, also known as the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is the holiest site in Islam. It surrounds the Kaaba, a sacred structure that Muslims face during daily prayers worldwide. The mosque can accommodate millions of worshippers, especially during the pilgrimage called Hajj. It features expansive prayer halls, courtyards, and modern facilities to support pilgrims. The mosque’s significance lies in its spiritual importance, as Muslims believe it was built by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail (Ishmael). It serves as a focal point for worship, reflection, and community for Muslims around the world.
