Masjid Jinn (Mosque of Jinn), also known as Masjid Haras, is situated on the place where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) drew a line for Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (RA) who had accompanied him after he had been commanded to recite the Quraan (Holy Book) to the Jinn.
Abdullah bin Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, “While in Makkah, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) once said to the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them), ‘Whoever wishes to see what the Jinn are all about should come along’. Besides myself no-one else came. When we reached the place in the Ma’la district of Makkah the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used his foot to draw a circle on the ground. He then instructed me to sit inside the circle. After proceeding a little further, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) started reciting the Quran. It then happened that Jinn started to arrive in troops as they gathered there. So many came that I could not even see the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) nor hear him. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then continued talking with a group of them until Fajr. (Tafseer ibn e Kaseer)
It has also been narrated by Abdullah bin Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “A caller from among the jinn came to me, and I went with him and recited Quran to them.” He further narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) took them and showed them their footsteps and the traces of their fires. They had asked him for provision and he had prayed to Allah Muhammad (PBUH) and told them, “You will have every bone over which the name of Allah has been mentioned; when it falls into your hands it will have plenty of meat on it. And all droppings are food for your animals.” Then the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Do not use them (bones and dung) to clean yourselves after relieving yourselves, for they are the food of your brothers.” [Saheeh Muslim]
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)later met there with these jinn's leaders and accepted their embrace of Islam and Bayat (oath of allegiance) to him. This incident is mentioned in Soorah-al-Jinn of the Quraan. Muslims from all over the world come in the season of Hajj and Umrah, and they watch (Ziyarat) this mosque. Umrah is a sacred pilgrimage for Muslims; they can perform umrah every year if they are financially stable. Muslims from Dubai can get Umrah Packages from Sharjah or Umrah Package by Bus from Dubai for their ease.
