Abu Bakr Mosque, Historical mosque near Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, Medina, Saudi Arabia

Abu Bakr Mosque is a small mosque southwest of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, near the start of Al-Manakha Street and west of Al-Ghamama Mosque. Its lower walls are rough-cut dark gray stone, with a pale beige dome on the left of the roofline and a cylindrical minaret on the right, its middle section carved with geometric patterns and topped by a pointed reddish-brown cap. A pointed arch frames a dark reddish-brown wooden door with a small plaque and a green medallion above it.

Prophet Muhammad performed Eid prayers at this location in the eighth year after Hijra, establishing its significance in Islamic history from an early time. This original connection made it an important place in Medina's religious landscape.

The mosque takes its name from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who led Eid prayers at this spot during his caliphate, following Muhammad's practice. It is one of the musallas of the Masa' area, and because of its proximity to the Prophet's Mosque and Masjid al-Ghamama, no Friday prayer is held here and it has no minbar.

The mosque stands in a wide square shared with Al-Ghamama Mosque, separated only by the public road, near the start of Al-Manakha Street southwest of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. Its eastern door opens onto Al-Manakha Street. The prayer hall has no pulpit and no Friday prayer is held, so it is visited outside Friday congregational times.

The minaret stands on the mosque's north wall, rising from a square base into a round shaft above roof level, with a single balcony and a metal frame ending in three spheres and a crescent. The east wall is clad in black stone, while the dome and minaret are painted white outside.
