The mosque is the place where millions of Muslims gather every day. All over the world, believers turn towards the Kaaba to worship Allah, the One. But do you know\u00a0<\/span>what is the world's largest mosque\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Discover it and others, to learn even more about our magnificent religion!<\/p>\n

What is the world's largest mosque?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unsurprisingly, it was the\u00a0<\/span>Masjid Al-Har\u00e2m<\/strong>in the city of\u00a0<\/span>Mecca<\/strong>in Saudi Arabia. Islam's holiest site par excellence, welcoming millions of pilgrims every year. Whether it's to make a\u00a0<\/span>omra<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0<\/span>perform the Hajj<\/strong>As the 4th pillar of Islam, this mosque is full every day.<\/p>\n

The site contains the famous\u00a0<\/span>Kaaba<\/strong>built by the Prophet Ibrahim ('alayhi salam) and his son, as well as Ibrahim's station. There is also the famous\u00a0<\/span>source of Zamzam<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>about which the prophet ('alayhi salat wa salam) said that it fulfilled the purpose for which it was drunk.<\/p>\n

What's more,\u00a0<\/span>the Great Mosque of Mecca<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>also contains 9 minarets, and can accommodate up to 4 million people!<\/p>\n

How do I get to the Masjid Al Haram?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you can afford it, going to Mecca is an obligation for every Muslim at least once in his or her life. Indeed, making the great pilgrimage is an obligation<\/p>\n

Allah said in Sura Ali Imran verse 97 (close translation of the meaning of the verse): \"And c<\/strong>'<\/strong>is a duty towards Allah for those who have the capacity to do so.<\/strong>'<\/strong>go and perform the hajj of the House (1). And whoever disbelieves, Allah has dispensed with the worlds (2).<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In other words, Ka<\/strong>'<\/strong>ba in the Al Haram mosque in Mecca.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. The Arabic term used means anything outside of<\/strong>'<\/strong>Allah, that is to say that Allah is the Rich One who does not<\/strong>'<\/strong>needs<\/strong>'<\/strong>any of His creatures.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can get there through a travel agency specialising in this spiritual journey. They will be able to advise you on the documents you need to bring with you, entry requirements and visas.<\/p>\n

    The world's largest mosque: the top 5\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    5. Hassan 2 Mosque, Casablanca, Morocco\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It is the\u00a0<\/span>largest mosque in Morocco<\/strong>Its 210-metre minaret is one of the highest in the world! Its prayer hall can accommodate 105,000 worshippers!<\/p>\n

    4. Masjid Istiqlal, Jakarta, Indonesia\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The largest mosque in South-East Asia, its complex covers more than 9 hectares, and its hall can accommodate 120,000 prayers.<\/p>\n

    3. Great Mosque of Algiers, Algeria\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    2. Masjid An-Nabawi, Medina, Saudi Arabia\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Of course, in 2nd place comes\u00a0<\/span>Prophet's mosque<\/strong>with its famous green dome. It can accommodate up to 650,000 worshippers.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Masjid Al Haram, Mecca, Saudi Arabia\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
