Masjid al-Jinn (مسجد الجن, Mosque of the jinn) is located at the base of Mount Hajun and about 50 meters towards al-Masjid al-Haram after Hajun Bridge and near Abu Talib Cemetery. It is called al-Jinn because Sura al-Jinn (Quran:72) was revealed to the holy Prophet (s) in this area. This mosque is called Masjid al-Ḥaras as well.
