'''Masjid al-ḥarām''' (Arabic: المسجدالحرام) is the best-known and the most sacred [[mosque]] in the Islamic world, located in [[Mecca]] in [[Saudi Arabia]] in which the [[Ka'ba]] and the [[qibla]] of Muslims is located. In addition to the Ka'ba, there are other sacred buildings, objects, and places inside Masjid al-Haram, such as the [[Black Stone]] (al-Hajar al-Aswad), [[al-Multazam]], [[al-Mustajar]], al-Hatim, and [[Hijr Isma'il]] all of which are of a high religious and spiritual place for Muslims. In Islamic jurisprudence ([[fiqh]]), Masjid al-Haram is subject to some special laws in addition to the general laws of [[shari'a]] applied to mosques. In [[Islam]], it is obligatory ([[wajib]]) for every Muslim to travel to Mecca (for [[hajj]]) at least once in his or her lifetime if he or she is capable of doing so([[Mustati']]). There are some rituals of hajj that should be done inside Masjid al-Haram. | '''Masjid al-ḥarām''' (Arabic: المسجدالحرام) is the best-known and the most sacred [[mosque]] in the Islamic world, located in [[Mecca]] in [[Saudi Arabia]] in which the [[Ka'ba]] and the [[qibla]] of Muslims is located.
