The Abu Bakr Mosque (Arabic: مسجد أبي بكر الصديق, lit. 'Mosque of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq') is one of the oldest mosques in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It is located towards the south-west side of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
It is being said that it was a site where Muhammad used to offer Eid prayers and the same tradition was continued by Abu Bakr after Muhammad's death.
