It no longer exists today. Situated within the Baqi' cemetery near the graves of the Prophet's wives and [[Aqil]], it was originally constructed during the governorship of [[Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz]]. The mosque was destroyed in the 8th and 9th centuries but was later rebuilt during the Ottoman period, only to be demolished again. Today, there are no remnants of it in the Baqi' cemetery. |

| The mosque was situated within the hallowed grounds of the [[al-Baqi]] cemetery, specifically to the west of the revered graves of the [[Mothers of the Believers]] and the grave of [[Aqil]]. According to historical accounts, this mosque was initially constructed during the righteous governorship of [[Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz]], a period marked by piety and devotion to the preservation of Islamic heritage. Despite its initial construction, by the eighth and ninth centuries AH, the mosque had fallen into disrepair, reflecting the vicissitudes of time.

| During the illustrious Ottoman era, the mosque witnessed a revival and was meticulously rebuilt, embodying the commitment of the [[Ottoman rulers]] to the restoration and maintenance of Islamic holy sites. However, this period of rejuvenation was not permanent, and the mosque was subsequently demolished again, succumbing to the relentless march of history.

| Today, the sacred site where the Mosque of Ubayy ibn Ka'b once stood within the al-Baqi cemetery remains devoid of its physical structure. Yet, the spiritual significance and historical memory of this mosque endure in the hearts and minds of the faithful. The legacy of the Prophet's prayers at this site continues to inspire reverence and reflection among Muslims worldwide, serving as a poignant reminder of the rich tapestry of Islamic history and heritage. | |
