"Islamic Mosque"[edit]

That sound right...

--iFaqeer 02:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dates?[edit]

Interesting article, but it needs more work: right now the frustrating part is the lack of any date before 1986... I was curious when the mosque was torn down, roughly when it was first built, and other information that puts the timeline in perspective. It's hard for someone without context (like myself) to know. --Bobak 15:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

source 2 gives 1986 as the year of rebuilding, and 'ninetieth century' for the previous mosque that was torn down (I would assume that that was a typo for 'nineteenth'). Still needs more dates, and to have them incorporated into the text.(I know that was an old post, but it's still an issue)122.61.157.138 (talk) 14:49, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peace Be Upon Him[edit]

I'm going to link the initial in-line image of Saws.jpg () to the article for Peace Be Upon Him. Most Muslims don't know the significance of this phrase or why it follows every mention of the Prophet. Kajmal 18:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't get that to work. Added alt text and a link to Peace Be Upon Him on the image info page. Kajmal 18:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops x2!! I just read the wikipedia policy on Islamic Honorifics, so I deleted all references to Saws.jpg Kajmal 18:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest mosque in Saudi Arabia or in the World?[edit]

Given that Islam began in the territory that's now Saudi Arabia, wouldn't this be the oldest mosque in the world then? -- 15:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.229.143.191 (talk)

How can this be the oldest mosque when it was only built in 1986? A more reasonable claim would be that is built on the oldest mosque site, but the building itself clearly isn't old at all. Cliff (talk) 14:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The mosque wasn't built in 1986 and it is not the oldest mosque in Saudi Arabia or the world, as the Ka'bah is the oldest mosque in the world. It is known as Masjid al-haram. It is however the second oldest mosque in the world, the first built by the Prophet Muhammad. Hope I am clear.

"Second oldest" may be an issue, due to the issue of Al-Aqsa Mosque preceeding Muhammad, like Al-Haram Mosque, which is why Al-Aqsa and Al-Haram Mosques have a category of their own. Also, this Masjid may be older or younger than Masjid as-Sahabah, Massawa' (620's or 630's),^[1] depending on when they were built. Leo1pard (talk) 16:56, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

al kaaba is the oldest mosque in the world[edit]

al kaaba is the oldest mosque in the world, not this one — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.142.135 (talk) 16:41, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To an extent, what you said is now here. Leo1pard (talk) 16:56, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While older than the Quba mosque, the Kaaba is technically not a mosque. --Jazzman (talk) 21:54, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First mosque[edit]

@R Prazeres: I've adding some holding sources for this factoid. They might not ultimately be the best sources, and could be replaced later, but they do demonstrate that the claim is at least oft repeated. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:28, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Potentially useful sources[edit]

After another round of quick searching, I found a fairly detailed scholarly reference in the Encyclopedia of Islam 2 which might be useful for further improving the article. It's in the "Masd̲j̲id" entry, volume 6, pages 646-647, in a subsection entitled "3. Other mosques in the time of the Prophet." For those who don't have institutional access to Brill's online version (here), there should be a copy of the volume available at archive.org (may require a free subscription): read online here or the pdf here.

And for convenience, here's a reference template anyone can copy into a citation note (see source code):
Pedersen, J. (1991). "Masd̲j̲id; I. In the central Islamic lands". In Bosworth, C. E.; van Donzel, E. & Pellat, Ch. (eds.). The Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition. Volume VI: Mahk–Mid. Leiden: E. J. Brill. pp. 646–647. ISBN 978-90-04-08112-3.)

A much shorter description can also be found in the "Medina" entry of the Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art & Architecture, Bloom & Blair 2009, pp.472-473 (also accessible again at archive.org here).

I hope these can come in handy down the line. Cheers, R Prazeres (talk) 08:32, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
