| What city can be more significant for Muslims than one that has a mosque built by the Prophet Mohammed himself? Yes, it is the city of Medina that contains Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Mosque of the Prophet). For this reason, the city is considered the second Holiest city for Muslims after Mecca. The city is located in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia. It has a cooler climate than Mecca, and its people are very hospitable. It is here that the Prophet Mohammad put together the Holy Qur’an, and the spread of Islam began. |

The Mosque has been expanded and decorated by Islamic rulers such as King Fahd since the time of the Prophet. The pulpit has undergone a major change; during the time of the Prophet, it was made of palm tree wood, today it is made of marble. Despite the renovations, the older parts of the mosque can still be distinguished by their colorful decorations and small pillars. Many worshippers comfortably pray in the air-conditioned mosque, knowing that a prayer in the Masjid has 1000 times more reward than a prayer in any other mosque, except in Mecca. |

| At the heart of the mosque lies a small area called ar-Rawdah an-Nabawiyah which is visited by pilgrims during the Hajj season; however, entrance to ar-Rawdah is not allowed for a large number of people because of its small size.
The mosque is situated in the center of Medina and is surrounded by many hotels and old markets. |

| Pilgrims usually travel to Jeddah by plane, and then reach Mecca through special pilgrim buses. They can also use the Medina airport that welcomes flights from both KSA itself, as well as the world. The city has other religious sites that are of great importance such as the Masjid Quba which is the first mosque of Islam; when the prophet reached Medina, he laid its first foundation stone. |

In addition, many events from Islamic history have taken place in the mountains of Medina; one such event is the famous battle of Uhud on Mount Uhud. The people of Medina loved Mount Uhud and its sight gave relief to the Prophet. With its stones made of red granite and its other dark green and black parts, Uhud is a very attractive site to look at. The Martyrs of the famous battle were buried there and their graves were visited by the Prophet. |

| Badar is another important place in Medina because the first battle between Muslims and Quraish took place in it, and despite the fact that Muslims were weaker than their enemy, they came out victorious because they were led by the Prophet. Also, near the tomb of the Holy Prophet lies the Jannat al-Baqee graveyard where many of the prophet’s companions and family members have been buried. |
| |
| Thus, Medina is a city of great importance to every Muslim; its amazing religious places make it a city that all Muslims must visit at least once during their lifetime. get medina hotels, medina accommodation, hotels in medina, medina hotel reservations, medina motel reservation, medina hotel booking, medina hotels services. |
