Masjid Nimrah was constructed to mark the spot where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) camped before delivering the last sermon on the plain of Arafat in Wadi Uranah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. It is also where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) led Salah. Today, Masjid Nimrah is also known as “Masjid Khutbah”.
Every year during Hajj, the Imam of Masjid Nimrah delivers the sermon from the mosque before the congregational prayers of Zuhr and Asr are performed together. Note that based on the teachings and guidance of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in case a person spends all of their time from midday to sunset at the outer/front section of Masjid Nimrah, their stay at Arafat will be invalid, and their Hajj will be incomplete. The capacity of Majid Nimrah is to accommodate about 300,000 pilgrims.
