Find a Masjid

deen2u doesn't maintain its own mosque directory — that would mean either an out-of-date static list or made-up entries, neither of which is something we're willing to publish. This opens a live map search instead.

🚧 Feature under development. This tool currently redirects to a Google Maps search rather than a purpose-built masjid directory — treat results with the same care you would any general map search. We're working on something better.

🕌

We'll ask for your location, then open a map search for nearby mosques.

If location access isn't available or you'd rather search manually, you can always search "mosque near me" or a specific city directly in Google Maps.

Renowned masjids of the world

A short tour of mosques that shaped Islamic history and the places Muslims travel to see. Each row lists the city and country, the exact coordinates, and one line on why it matters. Tap a coordinate into any map app to place it, or drop it into the finder above.

Hadith

لَا تُشَدُّ الرِّحَالُ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ: الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ، وَمَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ، وَمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى

"Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not set out on a journey except for three Mosques i.e. Al-Masjid-Al-Haram, the Mosque of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and the Mosque of Al-Aqsa, (Mosque of Jerusalem)"

Narrated by Abu Hurairah — Sahih al-Bukhari 1189. Agreed upon (also Sahih Muslim). The three sacred mosques below are the only ones to which a journey is undertaken specifically for the reward of praying in them; visiting any other mosque is fine, but carries no such distinction.

Coordinates are approximate center points for locating each site on a map, not survey-grade. The three sacred mosques aside, listing a mosque here is about its place in history and architecture, not a ranking of merit.
