AlKhader Mosque, is a mosque in Tarot Island's southeast province of Qatif. It was built on a mountain hill believed to be a place where Khidr has visited.[1] AlKhader has no role in its creation or construction, people have built it and called it AlKhader in time, but some researchers believe that the ratio of the name AlKhader is since the individual is related to the meaning of the foot. For example, from the days of the AlKhader a reference to the age of the object. The meaning of the name of the mosque can be considered as the old mosque.
The building dates back to the pre-Islamic era and was a church of Nestorian Christians before becoming a mosque after Islam entered Qatif. It is not known precisely when it was founded or when it became a mosque.
The mosque saw two registered expansions, the first in 1952, and the other in November 2005. In an effort by the people of the region to become an Islamic center. The renovation cost exceeded 10 million SAR (About 2.67$ million US), most of which were donations from people. Construction began on 6 August 2007 and officially opened on 19 August 2019, although construction operations spanning approximately 13 years have not been fully completed.
Location[edit]
Al Khader Mosque is located on Tarot Island between the Tarot and Snapes town triangle and Darin adjacent to Al-Rabia town from the south. As well as over the hill of Rakami close to the sea. It is the position that is thought to be the object of Alkader with legs, which is the good slave who mentioned his name in the Holy Quran.
Some are likely to have the mosque away from Tarot Island's residential neighborhoods. At that time, it was regarded as a place of recourse and full-time worship in an area far from home, to being a place of retreat and full-time worship. Especially since mosques in Tarot are far from residential neighborhoods. They all come within a line connected to specific distances between each mosque, mostly reaching the sea within a line that cuts farms and orchards, within two to five mosques or more within one line. The Al Khader Mosque is located in a line, although that line is connected at the end to the sea, But it's the only mosque in this line or road.
The resemblance between the Al Khader mosque on Faliaka Island and the Al Khader mosque on Tarot Island. They are both located on an island, on top of a cumulus hill close to the sea, and in a place far from home. Some researchers are likely to have said that his anecdotal position was an argument for Christians who embrace the Nestorian doctrine (It is a doctrine that is believed to have prevailed in the region before Islam). Especially because they believe that the place of worship must be far away intended by people to be the purpose of it for pure worship, and that his place is near the sea makes the mosque an open place for reflection and other worship. Since this doctrine was found in 431, it is likely that the temple's history dates back to that time, which is the basis of the mosque now.
Beliefs[edit]
Tarot Islanders believe that three mosques on their island have agreed that they are blessed and have sanctity and privacy: Al Khader Mosque, Sheikh Alaa Mosque, and Sheikh Mohammed Al. The privacy of the last two mosques may have disappeared and the privacy of the Al-Khader mosque has remained. As they shrink and people's perception changes due to changing circumstances and rituals, but some glow and holiness still surrounds the mosque with all that change. Before almost 25 years ago people when the brochures were graduating a group of who's they memorized the Quran and the celebration of this graduation was only at the Al-Khader Mosque, where many people come in a particular season with their relatives and teachers and make feasts for this great thing.
Moreover, the vows of people, whether in Tarot, Darren, and Zour on the island or from outside, whether in other areas of Katif, wasn't stopping one day. They were often the kind of public festivals they celebrated in particular for joy and joy.
It is reported that Tarot and Darren people come to him when there are dear occasions such as circumcision or conjuring the bride with henna. She slaughtered the sacrifices and feasted the face of God Almighty. It is attended by women, men and children and the length of their stay in the mosque. They are keen to read the Quran and recite the prayers and pray.
Construction and restoration[edit]
Building on an ancient temple[edit]
Based on archaeologist Jeffrey Bibi's studies in his book Research on Delmon, in which he talks about the Al-Khader mosque. The place of the AlKhader started to be a little high from its sides. The slope is on a rocky tongue and a little bit of water sprays its three sides, with a small round fence on a wall at five feet high and with a gap that forms a narrow entrance. When we climbed high, we could tell it was an industrial pall and a little hill. The formed stones of the old buildings came from here and there. I erected a coarse stone pole, with nothing else in the fence over the top, barely six feet on each side. The small flags, triangular bunting and glamorous cloth clippings have marked the colors and flap that centered amidst the wall stones was that the building was a pilgrimage.[2]
We have not been able to find any evidence that determines the time of the place and the whole abundant pottery breaks back to modern times, but we have been confronted at a distance that is barely more than a hundred yards from the place there, two big flat pile, and we went to there, and We found the fracture of red pottery with edges of the Barber's Civilization There.[3] It is also clear that the Al-Khader Mosque was built on the ruins of another temple dating back to the period of Barbar's civilization, which the two islands share, Jeffrey Bibi believes that the temple where the mosque was built had certain specificity and sanctity, It lasted for very long periods before Judaism, Christianity and even after people converted to Islam, where he says (there was a temple for Inzak on Velka, and there was a temple for Artemis two thousand years ago as well as a factory to produce the votive statues of Greek gods. It began as if Velka had for thousands of years been a sacred island, still a place to invoke.[4]
