The Al-Fath Mosque in Al-Jamoum Governorate, Makkah is one of the historic mosques that are undergoing a comprehensive development process as part of Prince Mohammed bin Salman's project to develop historic mosques, which aims to revive Islamic heritage sites according to the highest standards of sustainability while preserving their original architectural character.
This mosque is believed to have been prayed by the Prophet Muhammad in the year of conquest. <It is believed that the Prophet Muhammad prayed in this mosque during the year of conquest, but over the centuries it was subjected to demolition and destruction, before it was rebuilt in 1398 AH and then underwent restoration in 1419 AH. Today, the mosque is preparing to receive a new phase of development, which will increase its area from 455.77 m² to 553.50 m², increasing its capacity from 218 to 333 worshippers.
<The project relies on the use of natural building materials that match the architectural style of the western region, such as brick, basalt stone, gypsum, and wood, as well as rasheen and mashrabiyat, which are decorative wooden balconies that were used to cover windows and external openings, adding an aesthetic touch that reflects the authenticity of Hejazi architecture. These techniques are also characterized by their ability to withstand harsh climatic conditions, while providing a comfortable indoor environment for worshippers.<The Fath Mosque is part of the second phase of the historic mosque development project, which includes 30 mosques spread across 13 regions in the Kingdom, including 5 mosques in Makkah, 6 in Riyadh, 4 in Medina, 3 in Asir, 2 each in Sharqiyah, Al Jawf and Jizan, and 1 each in Tabuk, Al Baha, Najran, Hail and Qassim. This phase is a continuation of the first phase, which included the rehabilitation of 30 historic mosques in 10 regions. <Prince Mohammed bin Salman's project seeks to achieve key objectives that include rehabilitating historic mosques for worship, restoring their architectural authenticity, highlighting the civilizational and cultural dimension of the Kingdom, and enhancing its religious status. It also focuses on the balance between ancient building standards and modern technologies, to ensure the sustainability of these mosques while preserving their unique heritage elements.
