Amidst the bustling city of Medina, Saudi Arabia, stands the Masjid As-Sajadah. It’s a place whispered about, a place of profound significance. Masjid As-Sajadah translates to “the prostration”. This name holds a story. It speaks of a moment of divine communication, a moment of gratitude so profound that it shaped the very identity of this mosque. The Masjid As-Sajadah is located just 900 meters north of the Prophet’s Mosque, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. It is also known as Asy-Syukr Mosque, which means the Mosque of Thanksgiving, further emphasizing the story of its origin. Legend tells us that the Prophet Muhammad received joyous news here. The Angel Gabriel descended, bringing a message from God about Salawat, blessings upon the Prophet. Upon hearing this news, the Prophet prostrated himself in gratitude, marking this spot as sacred. This act of devotion gave the mosque its name, forever linking it to this moment of profound thanks. While the mosque is officially known as Masjid As-Sajadah, it’s more commonly referred to as Abi Dzar Mosque. This is due to its location on Abi Dzar street, a name familiar to the locals. Over time, the mosque has undergone renovations. In the year 2000, a significant expansion and restoration project modernized the facilities while preserving the historical sanctity of the site. Today, Masjid As-Sajadah stands as a testament to this divine moment. It beckons visitors to experience the tranquility and reflect on the profound significance of gratitude in the heart of Islam.
