About Masjid al-Ku' (Taif)

This small old mosque in Taif is linked by local tradition with the visit of Nabi Muhammad ﷺ to the city in the tenth year of the prophethood, when he came to invite the tribe of Thaqif to Islam. Its name, al-Ku', is explained by local stories connected with that visit. Little about the mosque is recorded in the early sources, so its history rests mainly on local memory. It stands in the same part of Taif as Masjid Addas, and visitors often see the two together when retracing the Prophet's ﷺ journey to the city.
