MASJID -E- KAUSAR

1 .  Once when the infant child of Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) died, he (S. A. W.) was very sad. The enemy of Islam "Abu Lahab" became very happy to see Syedna Muhammad (S. A. W.) in gloomy mood. He started to walk in the street of Makkah and shouted repeatedly, "Muhammad has became ABTAR"
( A man whose race has been finished and no one to generate the race ). This act of Abu Lahab made Muhammad (S. A. W.) much more sad. He (S. A. W.) was sitting and the tears were dropping from the eyes, Jibrael (AH) came and delivered the "Surah of Kausar" - The smallest Surah of Holy Quran in which Almighty Allah said "I have gifted you Kausar and you must keep sacrifices. Your enemy will certainly be Abtar." This Surah gave rest to Muhammad (S. A. W.).

2 .  Where the Surah of Kausar was delivered, a mosque is built named "Masjid-e-Kausar". After receiving this Surah, Prophet (S. A. W.) hang the verses of this Surah over the wall of Kaba. Kuffar did not know about Kausar. It was a new word for them. They started discussion, "What is Kausar". They forgot "Abtar". After few days Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) disclosed that the Kausar is a Pond in Heaven and on the day of Judgment He would be the custodian of it and muslims will drink sweet and cold water from it and they would never feel thirst after that.

3 .  This mosque must see pilgrims. It is the place of  great history.  It is in Muna.
 

MASJID -E- ISTRAHA
 

1 .  If you come from Muna to Makkah, you will find this beautiful mosque.

2 .  On the eve of Haj, the last Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) offered  two prayers (Salat) at this spot and took rest. It is the reason this mosque is called "Masjid-e-Istraha", which means Mosque of Rest.
