sacred mosque
Revered Islamic temple
Sacred mosque translates the Arabic *al-Masjid al-Ḥarām*, referring to the Great Mosque of Mecca—Islam's holiest site, which surrounds the Kaaba.
Muslims worldwide face toward it during prayer, and it is the destination of the hajj pilgrimage.
The term appears in the Quran and in discussions of Islamic holy sites: Non-Muslims are prohibited from entering the sacred mosque.
