Largest Mosques🕌✨
In the World🌍 2025 - 2026😍❤️
Based on current data for 2025-2026, six largest Mosques in the world are:
▪️1) Masjid al-Haram, Saudi Arabia🇸🇦
Capacity: 4,000,000
Ongoing expansions (the Third Saudi Expansion) have pushed the total capacity to accommodate up to 4 million worshippers during peak times like Hajj. Some sources list standard capacity at 1.7 million, but 4 million is the accepted figure for its full intended scale.
▪️2) Aasjid an-Nabawi, Saudi Arabia🇸🇦
Capacity: 1,500,000
The Prophet's Mosque can accommodate roughly 1.5 to 2 million people. In 2024, it was reported that over 5 million people visited and prayed there in a single week.
▪️3) Imam Reza Shrine Mosque, Iran 🇮🇷
Capacity: 1,200,000
This complex in Mashhad is one of the largest in the world by land area (approx. 267,000 m^2), and its total capacity across its many courtyards is cited at 1.2 million.
▪️4) Grand Jamia Mosque, Pakistan🇵🇰
Capacity: 800,000
Specifically referring to the Bahria Town Karachi location, this mosque was designed to be the third-largest in the world by capacity (800,000) and the largest in Pakistan.
▪️5) Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestine🇵🇸
Capacity: 400,000
The entire compound (Haram al-Sharif) has the physical space to hold roughly 400,000 worshippers. However, in 2026, actual attendance is frequently restricted by local authorities to much lower numbers (e.g., 10,000 for certain groups) due to security measures.
▪️6) Faisal Mosque, Pakistan🇵🇰
While the main hall holds fewer, the combined capacity of the porticoes and courtyards allows for up to 300,000 people.
