The UNESCO nomination describes it as an important surviving architectural component of the sacred mountain’s surroundings, alongside shrines, paths and archaeological remains.
The mosque belongs to the history of religious life around the mountain rather than to the cave museum. Its substantial prayer space and surviving masonry reward a visit focused on architecture and the relationship between the city and its sacred landmark. Historical descriptions and present arrangements are different things: confirm visitor access, avoid prayer times if a visit would intrude, and ask before photographing interiors or worshippers.
