Namirah Mosque in Arafat, for one, is not merely a physical structure, but a sacred site where the foundational principles of Islam were proclaimed, notes history professor Fawaz Al-Dahas of Umm Al-Qura University. Another is Bay’ah Mosque in Mina, he says, where the Ansar pledged allegiance to the Prophet, paving the way for the Hijrah and the establishment of the Islamic state.
