The Mosque of Sayyidina Umar bn Khattad at Dumat Aljandal

Faithful Mosque of Omar Ibn Khattab may Allah be please with him in Dumat Aljandal 

The mosque of Omar Ibn al-Khattab is situated in the town of Dumat al-Jandal, a major intersection of ancient trade routes linking Mesopotamia, Syria and the Arabian Peninsula. The mosque itself was built in 634-644 CE. Equivalent to 16 AH. when Omar travel to Jerusalem to receive the keys of Bait Al Maqdis.

However, the actual building appears to have been built in a much later period, casting doubt upon its attribution to Umar Ibn al-Khattab. Some scholars attribute it to the Umayyad Caliph Omar bin Abul Aziz, and some believe that the mosque was named after Bani'Amr, a tribe that settled in Dumat al-Jandal.
