THE ISLAMIC HISTORICAL SITES IN MEDINAH

Medinah or Madinah is the second holiest city in the Islamic history, it is situated in the north of Mecca at a distance of 450km approximately from Mecca to it. It is where the last prophet and messenger of Allah migrated to as he left mecca on the command of his Lord the Almighty Allah.

It is rich with Islamic historical sites primarily centered around the prophet's mosque and significant mosques like Quba and Al- qiblatain. These sites include battle-fields like Uhud, cemeteries like Jannatul Baqie and locations related to key events in early Islamic history.



Here is a More Detailed Look At Some Of The Key Sites;



Al- Masjid Al Nabawi (the prophet's mosque)


This is the second holiest site in Islam located in Madinah, it is where the prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (P.B.U.H) is buried along with Abubakar and Umar in the chamber of the mother of believers Aisha bint Abubakar.

There are other historical sites with in the territory of the prophet Muhammad's Mosque, one of them is the Rawdha and another is the chambers of Banu Saeda.

Rawdha is a blessed land between the chambers of the prophet Muhammad and the pulpit. It is a place of supplication, offering your prayers, reciting salat al shukr (prayer of gratitude) or simply spending a few moments in contemplation within Rawdha. It is also an opportunity to connect with Allah (S.A).

Rawdha is also a testament to the prophet Muhammad's legacy and the profound blessings of Islam.
This blessed land is a portion of paradise on earth, praying in this sanctified zone is kin to praying in the paradise itself.

The Chambers of Banu Saedah; historically is an excellent place, a place where initial ceremony of selection of the first caliph of Islam was held.

Masjid Quba;


Quba mosque is the first mosque built in Islam. It took its name from the Quba well that was established in that location. It was also known in ancient times as Banu Auf mosque.
Quba mosque was established during the prophet Muhammad's migration to Medina.

Its first stone was laid by the prophet and the structure completed by his companions. The prophet used to waik to that mosque on Saturdays and perform two units in it and advised others to do the same.

Its religious significance; performing ablution in one's home then offering two units of prayer in that mosque is considered to be performing one Umrah.
It is situated in the village of Quba about 3km from the prophet's mosque in Medina

Masjid Qiblatain


Why was it named so? It was because when the Almighty Allah ordered His Prophet Muhammad to pray facing Jerusalem where Masjid Aqswa is located, the Prophet continued to pray to Allah to change for him the qibla which Allah did during the prayer in that mosque.

Masjid qiblatain means a mosque of the two qiblas. It was named so because its where the direction of prayer (qibla) for Muslims was changed from Jerusalem to Mecca during a prayer service. Initially, muslims prayed facing Jerusalem but a revelation during prayer at this mosque instructed them to turn towards the Kaaba in Mecca.

The Masjid Qiblatain is located on the western side of Medina 4km from Masjid Al Nabawi. That same mosque was at first called Masjid Banu Salamah until when the prophet was ordered to change the qibla and face where the Kaaba is located.

Uhudi Mountain; it was the site of the second battle between the Islamic prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (P.B.U.H) and the polytheists of his tribe the Quraysh. The battle of Uhudi was fought in Shawwal 19th and it took the lives of about 70 Muslims and they were all buried in that region.
