MUSJID AL QANTARA/ MUSJID AL-MADHOUN, TAIF

Another important site in Taif is the Al Qantara Musjid, which is located in the Mathnah neighborhood.
It is alleged that the farm opposite the Musjid is the area where the Prophet ﷺ rested after being stoned in Taif.
The Musjid was only built one and a half centuries ago but the building style ,inspired by Abbasid architecture, gives the impression of being much more ancient.
The Musjid is also famous for the Athan tower that appears like a cylinder and ends with a spherical peak. While the Musjid itself remains locked and isn’t opened for prayers, the minarets are accessible at times.
