Al-Masjid Al-Haram is the greatest mosque in Islam and is located in the heart of the city of Mecca in the west of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the Kaaba in the middle, which is the first house built for people on earth to worship God in it according to the Islamic faith, and this is the greatest and holiest spot on earth for Muslims. The Grand Mosque is the qiblah of Muslims in their prayers, and to it they make pilgrimages. It was called the Grand Mosque due to the sanctity of fighting in it since the victorious entry of the Prophet Muhammad to Makkah Al-Mukarramah. Muslims believe that prayer in it is equivalent to one hundred thousand prayers.   It is mentioned in the Qur’an: The first house that was set up for people is for the one at Bakkah, blessed and a guidance for the worlds (Surat Al Imran, verse 96) In the past, before Islam and before the establishment of the Grand Mosque, the term doors were used to refer to the entrances located at the ends of the roads leading to the courtyard of the Kaaba, and they did not have a clear architectural form, and their entrances were known as Al-Fajaj. In the era of the Prophet, the doors of the Noble Sanctuary of Mecca continued to be described and named as they were in the pre-Islamic era. Among the events of the Prophet’s biography, the names of some of those doors were mentioned, such as: The Gate of the Mosque (Bab Bani Abd Shams, known as Bab Bani Shaybah and the Great Gate), and Bab Bani Makhzoum, Bab Bani Jamh, Bab Bani Sahem, and Bab Al Hanatin (The Tailors). Some researchers estimate the number of gates of the Grand Mosque in that period to be seven gates, two of them in the eastern side, three in the western side, and one in each of the north and south, and some of them acquired in the era of the Prophet Muhammad a special character because of its connection to hermitage.   During the era of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, the doors had a specific architectural shape, after he ordered in the year 17 AH - 638 AD to surround the end with a short wall of less than a height, in which doors were opened in line with the doors that were before between the floors. During the reign of Othman bin Affan, specifically in the year 26 AH - 646 AD, the gates of the Great Mosque of Mecca witnessed an architectural development, as its area was increased and the corridors were added to it. In turn, it was necessary to build doors for the Grand Mosque with two pillars and roofed heights. After the era of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, the Grand Mosque witnessed more than one expansion, the first of which was the building of Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr in the year 65 AH - 684 AD. There was a significant increase in the area of ​​the Grand Mosque, which resulted in the construction of new doors instead of the old ones. This was followed by a number of expansions in the Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman eras to the modern Saudi era. As a result of these and expansions, the doors of the Grand Mosque were subjected to changes in their numbers and locations.   Currently, the number of doors of the Grand Mosque reaches 179 doors that lead to the Grand Mosque, its surface and vault, made of the finest types of wood, and clad with polished metal adjusted with copper ornaments, and it has been provided with digital indicative panels that light up in green if there is a possibility for worshipers to enter and illuminate in red once the capacity of the mosque is completed forbidden.   The five main doors of the Grand Mosque King Abdul Aziz Gate, No. (1) in the Western Square.
