The mosque is called "As-Sajadah" meaning "the prostration" because of an account of the Islamic prophet Muhammad prostrating here after hearing a good news from Gabriel regarding salawat.[1] The mosque is better known as Abi Dzar Mosque because it is on Abi Dzar street. It was renovated and expanded in 2000.
