Raayah Mosque
CRJH+JMF, Al Hujun, Makkah 24231
Historic site marking where the Prophet's banner was planted during the Conquest of Mecca in six thirty CE.
This guide to Raayah Mosque in Mecca returns to the eighth year after the Prophet's migration, when Muhammad marched on the city at the head of ten thousand men. It follows his trusted companion al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, sent ahead to the high ground at al-Hajun with a simple order: plant the banner here and wait. The historian al-Tabari recorded that order precisely, and the mosque later built on the spot stood for over a thousand years before its demolition in 2012.
