Al Mutlaq Heritage Mosque

Amidst the farms in Hadri Al Bilad in Hail, Al Mutlaq Heritage Mosque stands tall with its ancient architectural structure, wooden doors, and walls that tell stories from the depths of history. The mosque was built hundreds of years ago using available materials such as mud and stone, and its roof was constructed from Athel wood and palm fronds, forming an ancient architectural style that brings calmness and fills one with humility and devotion. The mosque has maintained its original architectural form, with its last restoration taking place in 1379 AH/1960 AD.

The mosque consists of a ground-level prayer hall and a basement, as one of the traditional ways of building mosques in the Arabian Peninsula was to construct an underground prayer area called "Al-Khalwa". This area was used for prayers during the winter season to protect worshipers from the cold weather, and it could also be used for i'tikaf. The main component of the mosque is the prayer room, with a rectangular shape and a mihrab (prayer niche), and a minbar (pulpit) in the center. The mosque has an ancient traditional design for its interior windows, allowing light and air to enter the mosque.
