The shrine of the great companion Abdullah bin Rawaha

The mausoleum of the esteemed companion Abdullah ibn Rawahah Radiyallahu Anhu is located in the town of Al-Mazar Al-Janoubi in Karak Governorate, southern Jordan, alongside the shrines of Zayd ibn Harithah and Ja'far ibn Abi Talib. Together, they form the "Shrines of the Three Companions" who were martyred in the Battle of Mu'tah in 629 AD. Abdullah ibn Rawahah was a distinguished poet of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, a skilled orator, and a courageous military leader who participated in several key battles. In the Battle of Mu'tah, he was the third commander, taking the banner after the martyrdom of Zayd and Ja'far. He fought valiantly until he, too, achieved martyrdom. The mausoleum serves as a significant religious and historical site, attracting visitors who seek to learn from his unwavering faith and selflessness. Religious events and educational programs are held here regularly, recounting his life story and the remarkable events of the Battle of Mu'tah.
