Mosque That Opens Once a Year
The Nimra Mosque is one of the most prominent landmarks of Muzdalifah. It is located to the west of the Plain of Arafat on a small hill near the spot where Prophet Muhammad delivered his Farewell Sermon. This mosque is dedicated to prayer only once a year on the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah, during the pilgrims' standing (Wuquf). It is used for performing the combined Dhuhr and Asr prayers, both shortened and combined, as well as for the Arafat sermon. The mosque has undergone a major expansion at a cost of 237 million riyals, increasing its capacity to over 350,000 worshippers. The development works also include planting trees, installing shade structures, and adding fans.
