Mosque of the Jinn

This guide to the Mosque of the Jinn in Mecca traces a night described in the Quran's seventy-second chapter, when a group of unseen jinn gathered nearby and overheard the Prophet Muhammad reciting. It follows his companion Abdullah ibn Masud, told to wait inside a circle drawn on the ground while Muhammad went to meet the jinn's leaders alone, and what they came back declaring to their own people afterward. You'll also hear how the site vanished underground for centuries before builders rediscovered what was left of it.
