Whether a shrine may be venerated at all is disputed within Islam, and some places here have been damaged by movements that reject it; the atlas records both without settling it. The Jerusalem compound is under contested control. 2Size of the Traditional SetWell-attestedThree: the sanctuaries toward which travel is enjoined in the hadith of the three mosques - the Sacred Mosque at Mecca, the Prophet's Mosque at Medina and the al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedSacred Sites 1BrowseCompareSelect all 22Ajmer SharifIslamic Sites6 linksAl-AzharIslamic Sites9 linksData DarbarIslamic Sites5 linksGyanvapi MosqueIslamic Sites2 linksIslamic Center of WashingtonIslamic Sites2 linksMasjid al-Haram and the KaabaIslamic Sites39 linksMedinaIslamic Sites10 linksMount HiraIslamic Sites5 linksNiujie MosqueIslamic Sites2 linksQuba MosqueIslamic Sites4 linksThe Djinguereber Mosque and the Timbuktu ManuscriptsIslamic Sites9 linksThe Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa MosqueIslamic Sites12 linksThe Great Mosque of KairouanIslamic Sites6 linksThe Mezquita of CórdobaIslamic Sites10 linksThe Prophet's Mosque and Jannat al-BaqiIslamic Sites25 linksThe Shrine of Sidi Bou SaidIslamic Sites4 linksThe Süleymaniye MosqueIslamic Sites3 linksThe Sultan Ahmed MosqueIslamic Sites5 linksThe Tomb of RumiIslamic Sites8 linksThe Umayyad MosqueIslamic Sites8 linksGreat Mosque of DjenneIslamic Sites4 linksThe AlhambraIslamic Sites4 linksLearn MoreThe Holy Places of Islam This group holds the sacred sites of Islam. Its sacred geography is anchored by the three holiest places, the Sacred Mosque at Mecca with the Kaaba, toward which Muslims pray and to which they make the Hajj; the Prophet's Mosque at Medina; and the Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem, and extends to the great mosques and the shrines of prophets and holy figures. The browser will find these central sanctuaries alongside other mosques and revered sites. The entries describe each place's religious significance and history, noting where veneration differs between Sunni and Shia traditions.Sources1.
