Abu Bakr Mosque

The Abu Bakr Mosque (Arabic: مسجد أبي بكر الصديق, lit. 'Mosque of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq') is one of the oldest mosques in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It is located towards the south-west side of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. It is being said that it was a site where Muhammad used to offer Eid prayers and the same tra

dition was continued by Abu Bakr after Muhammad's death. Following the Prophet's passing, Abu Bakr continued to lead Eid prayers at this location during his caliphate, leading to the mosque being named after him. The small mosque has a somewhat square floorplan and a single minaret and dome.
