As-Sajadah Mosque

Medina, Saudi Arabia

The As-Sajadah Mosque, also known as Asy-Syukr Mosque or Abi Dzar Mosque, is a Sunni Islam mosque, located 900 metres (3, 000 ft) north of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The mosque is called "As-Sajadah" meaning "the prostration" because of an account of the Islamic prophet Muhammad prostrating here after hearing a good news from Gabriel regarding salawat.
