Al-Nuqtah Mosque, Religious shrine on Mount Jawshan, Aleppo, Syria.
The mosque contains stone structures, prayer halls, and architectural elements that reflect traditional Islamic building methods of northern Syria.
Dating back to 944 CE, this structure originated as a monastery before its conversion into a mosque during the early Islamic period.
The mosque holds particular significance for Shia Muslims due to a stone reportedly marked with blood from Husayn ibn Ali's head.
Visitors must follow dress codes, remove shoes before entering, and schedule visits outside of the five daily prayer times.
In 2016, the sacred Hajar-ul-Nuqteh stone received temporary protection in Karachi, Pakistan, during regional instability.
