Abraham’s Mosque - Al Haram Al Ibrahimi

Abraham’s Mosque - Al Haram Al Ibrahimi Al-Haram is a formidable rectangular building, which looks like a fortress. The construction of the walls and pavement is the work of King Herod.

Inside, a vaulted Crusader church has been turned into a mosque housing the tomb of the prophets and their wives. Inside the mosque is the Mihrab made of multi-colored marble and fine mosaics. The carved walnut Minbar, or pulpit next to it is a masterpiece of intricate workmanship. Another fine pulpit brought by Salah Ad-Din from Egypt, stands near the praying alcove. Additional Crusader and Mamlu

k structures combine to make al-Haram one of the most impressive ancient monuments in Palestine. There are six tombs in the Mosque of Abraham, which are said to stand directly above the graves of the prophets and their wives buried in the Cave of el-Anbia.
