Al-Nuqtah Mosque

Aleppo, Syria

The Al-Nuqtah Mosque (Masjid an-Nuqṭah, lit. 'Mosque of the Drop [of the Blood of Husayn]') is a Shi'ite mosque located on Mount Jawshan in Aleppo, Syria. The main feature of the mosque is a stone believed by Muslims to be stained with the blood of Husayn ibn ‘Alī. Also located near this mosque on Mount Jawshan, is a mashad (shrine) known as the Mashad al-Siqt (lit. 'Place of the Miscarriage'). As the prisoners of Karbalā were passing through Aleppo, one of wives of Husayn had a miscarriage. The still-born child was named Muhsin, and buried at this place.
