Al Jum'ah Mosque (Arabic: {{Script|Arab|مَسْجِد ٱلْجُمُعَة, "Mosque of the Friday") is a mosque in Medina, in the Hejazi region of Saudi Arabia.[1] Also known as Masjid Banī Sālim (Arabic: مَسْجِد بَنِي سَالِم),[2] Masjid Al-Wādī (Arabic: مَسْجِد ٱلْوَادِي), Masjid Al-Qubayb (Arabic: مَسْجِد ٱلْقُبَيْب), and Masjid ʿĀtikah (Arabic: مَسْجِد عَاتِكَة), it is said by the locals to be where the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his companions performed Salatul-Jumu'ah for the first time, during their hijrah (migration) from Mecca to Medina.[3]
It is located near Wadi Ranuna', 900m (3,000feet) north of Quba Mosque, and 6km (04miles) south of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
During the Hijrah from Mecca to Medina, on Monday the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal, Year 1 of the Hijri calendar, Muhammad and other Muhajirun (emigrants from Mecca to Medina) stopped by Quba for four days. On the morning of Friday, they resumed the route to Medina, stopped in the region of Wadi Ranuna', and fulfilled the prayer of Jumu'ah prayer. This region is called Jumuʿah today.[4]
It was initially built by rocks, then demolished and renovated several times. Before renovation, the mosque had a dome of red bricks, a length of 8m (26feet), width of 4.5m (14.8feet), and height o 5.5m (18feet). There was a yard with a length of 8m (26feet), and width of 6m (20feet), attached to the eastern part. The renovation in 1988 by the Ministry of Awqaf of the Saudi government, led by King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz, was accompanied by the demolition of the old part and the building of a new part, which includes a residence for an imam and a muezzin, a library, Madrasat Tahfiz al-Qurʾan, a female prayer room, and a bathroom. In 1991, the mosque was reopened to the public with a capacity of 650 pilgrims, a main dome, and four small domes.
