This event is mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Jinn, where Allah says: "Say, [O Muhammad], 'It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Quran.''" (Surah Al-Jinn, 1). The mosque symbolizes the universality of Islam, emphasizing that the Quran's message is for all beings, including humans and jinn. It serves as a reminder of the Prophet's mission and the widespread reach of his message, attracting many visitors and pilgrims who wish to connect with this unique aspect of Islamic history.
