The Mosque of the Jinn (Arabic: مسجد الجنّ, romanized: Masjid al-Jinn)[1][2][3] is a mosque, located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia,[4] near Jannat al-Mu'alla.
[5] It is also known as the Mosque of Allegiance[6][3] (Arabic: مسجد بِيعات, romanized: Masjid Biy‘āt)[7] and the Mosque of Guards[3] (Arabic: مسجد الحرس, romanized: Masjid al-Ḥaras)[1] because the city's guards would patrol up to that point.
[1] The mosque is built at the place where a group of jinn are said to have gathered one night to hear the recitation of a portion of the Quran by Muhammad.
[5][4][8][3] Muhammad later met there with these jinn's leaders and accepted their embrace of Islam and their bay'ah (oath of allegiance) to him.
