stands today was an open-air
area during the time of the
Prophet (PBUH) where the Eid
prayers (Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ulAdha prayers) were most
frequently held. Nowadays

clouds. This mosque has been
given this name because it is the
place where the Prophet (PBUH)
prayed for rainfall after which it
rained profusely.
