Madinah

About

Millions of pilgrims who come to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj or Umrah make Medina one of their primary stops since it is one of the two holiest places in Islam. The Prophet's Mosque, also known as Al Masjid a Nabawi, was built by the Prophet himself and serves as both his burial place and the focal point of the city. 

 

After his exodus from Makkah in 622 A.D.—known as the Hijrah—the Prophet Muhammad resided and taught in Medina. The beginning of the Islamic calendar is marked by the significance of this year in Islamic history. 

 

Despite the fact that the name of the city is typically spelt Medina in English, its full name is Al Medina Al Munawwarah, which translates to "the Enlightened City." Many Muslims have always wanted to visit Medina because of the significance of the place in the life of the Prophet Muhammad.

Al Masjid an Nabawi

The Prophet's Mosque, also known as Al-Masjid al-Nabawi ("Mosque of the Prophet"), is a mosque that can be found in Medina. It is one of the biggest mosques in the world and is regarded by Muslims as the second holiest site in Islam (the first being the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah) because it is the ultimate resting place of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is only the second mosque ever to be constructed.

 

The Green Dome over the mosque's centre, where the tomb of Muhammad is located, is one of the site's most famous features.

Masjid Quba

One of the oldest mosques in the world is the Masjid Quba, which is situated in Medina's surrounding area. When the Prophet moved from Makkah city, he himself laid the first stones, making it one of the most impressive tourist sites in Medina. Since the time of the Holy Prophet in the seventh century CE, it is said to be the world's very first mosque.
