About this converter
Masjid al-Haram holds 2.5 million at Hajj, 1.0 million clear of Nabawi at 1.5 million. Imam Reza Shrine at 700,000, Faisal at 300,000, Taj-ul-Masajid at 175,000, Hassan II at 105,000, Badshahi at 100,000, Sheikh Zayed at 55,000, Delhi at 25,000 and Putra at 15,000 for scale follow. Capacities count indoor halls plus courtyards and grounds at peak. Regular Friday totals run lower than Hajj peaks. That peak versus regular split is noted per row. Minaret heights rank on a separate page, so towers stay out here.
How to use it
Pick two mosques and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Haram against Badshahi to see the 25 times gap. The bars below use a log scale since max runs over 150 times min, so small bars stay visible. Switch the unit to thousands for short figures. Ratios are exact divisions of the capacity totals.
Sheikh Zayed at 55,000 ranks above Delhi at 25,000 despite draft table quirks. Hajj versus regular splits this table. Haram 2.5M and Nabawi 1.5M are Hajj peaks. Faisal 300,000 counts 74,000 indoor plus grounds. Hassan II 105,000 counts 25,000 indoor plus 80,000 grounds. Figures follow shrine and mosque guides. Expansions add tens of thousands, so totals move with builds.
