The mosque is located within the blessed Aqeeq Valley and is 14 kilometres away from the Prophet’s Mosque. This mosque was originally built by the Caliph Umar bin Abdulaziz when he was the prince of Madinah and went through various renewing attempts during both the Abbasid and the Ottoman eras. Today, the mosque can accommodate roughly 5,000 worshippers and consists of two corridors separated by a wide-open space.
