The Masjid al-Nuqtah (Arabic: مسجد النقطة - Mosque of the Drop [of the blood of Husayn]) is a mosque located on Mount Jawshan in Aleppo, Syria. The main feature of the mosque is a stone believed to be stained with the blood of Husayn ibn ‘Alī by Shī‘ah Muslims. Also located near this mosque on Mount Jawshan, is a shrine known as Mashad al-Siqt (Arabic: مشهد السقط - Place of miscarriage). As the prisoners of Karbalā were passing through Aleppo, one of wives of Husayn had a miscarriage. The still-born child was named Muhsin, and buried at this place.
