“Al-Bay'ah Mosque”, also known as “Masjid al-Aqaba”, is a significant historical mosque located in “Mina”, near “Mecca”. Saudi Arabia. It was built in “144 AH” (762 CE) by the Abbasid Caliph “Al-Ja'far al-Mansur” in the area where the “Pledge of Aqaba” took place. This pledge was a crucial event where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made an agreement with the Ansar (helpers) to support him and Islam, marking the beginning of preparations for the “Hijra” (migration) to Medina.
The mosque's location is near the “Jamarat al-Aqaba” (the major pillar), and it stands on the left side for those heading to Mina, just before the “Aqaba” and in a valley of “Mount Thubayr”.The mosque was established in honor of “Al-Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib” (the Prophet's uncle), who played a key role in facilitating the Pledge of Aqaba.
Today, Al-Bay'ah Mosque is an important religious and historical site, visited by many pilgrims and tourists who seek to connect with the momentous events that took place there in early Islamic history.
