How did masjid Haram get its name?
Haram (Arabic: حَرَم, romanized: ḥaram, lit. 'sanctuary') is one of several similar words originating from the triliteral Semitic root Ḥ-R-M. The word literally means "sanctuary," commonly used by Muslims to refer to Al-Masjid Al-Haram and Prophet Mohammad's Mosque.
