The building of Habib Al-Najjar Mosque witnessed many visits from followers of different faiths, as it was in its beginnings a pagan temple, then it turned into a church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, then a mosque in the Umayyad period, then a church again during the Crusader rule, until it is settled today as a mosque bearing the name Habib Al-Najjar, who was a contemporary of Christ and refused to abandon the worship of God and return to paganism.
