“Is this mosque named after a king?” Al Faruq Mosque certainly sounds regal. It is named after Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph of Islam. He was known as “Al Faruq,” which means “the one who distinguishes between right and wrong.” The Al Faruq Mosque is a relatively modern addition to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. It is located on the western side of the compound and is used primarily for women’s prayer. This mosque serves as a vital space for women to connect with their faith. It provides a peaceful retreat within the bustling compound. The compound is a constant hive of activity, with worshippers, tourists and pilgrims from all over the world. The Al Faruq Mosque offers a much-needed sanctuary within this sacred space.
