Qasr Marwa

Qasr Marwa is a small, historic religious structure located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, near the Kaaba. It is traditionally believed to be the site where the Prophet Abraham’s son, Ishmael, was offered a sacrifice. The Qasr Marwa consists of a simple, rectangular building with a dome, serving as a symbolic reminder of this biblical event. While not a mosque or prayer hall, it holds spiritual significance for pilgrims and visitors, representing faith and obedience. Its proximity to the Kaaba emphasizes its importance within Islamic history and pilgrimage rituals.
