Maqam Abdurrahman ibn Awf, Mosque and memorial in Jubeiha, Amman, Jordan

The Maqam Abdurrahman ibn Awf is a mosque in Jubeiha, north of Amman, completed in 2004 on a rectangular plan. Its fully carpeted prayer hall, library and a cenotaph marking the spot where Ibn Awf is said to have camped stand on the site of an older Mamluk-period memorial.

A memorial to Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf was built in Jubeiha during the Mamluk period to mark his visit and encampment there. In 1999 the shrine came under a branch of the Islamic council that conserves and restores monuments of Rashidun army warriors. King Abdullah II commissioned the present mosque, completed in 2004.

The site is a mosque and memorial, not a tomb: Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf died in 654 and is buried in Medina's Al-Baqi Cemetery. A cenotaph inside marks where he is said to have camped in Jubeiha. The modern mosque, completed in 2004, was commissioned by King Abdullah II and includes a library alongside the prayer hall.

The mosque stands in Jubeiha, about 15 km north of central Amman, and is reached by car or taxi along the main road. Visitors enter the prayer hall through separate men's and women's entrances, and modest dress is expected. The cenotaph and library lie inside the rectangular complex, so allow time to walk the whole building.

The modern mosque, completed in 2004, contains a cenotaph marking the spot where Ibn Awf is said to have set up camp in Jubeiha. The site is a maqam, a commemorative shrine, not a burial place: Ibn Awf died in 654 and was buried in the Al-Baqi Cemetery in Medina.
