As-Sajadah Mosque

The As-Sajadah Mosque (Arabic: مسجد السجدة), also known as Asy-Syukr Mosque or Abi Dzar Mosque (Arabic: مسجد أبي ذر), 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. The mosque is better known as Abi Dzar Mosque because it is on Abi Dzar street. It was renovated and expanded in 2000.
