The Prophet’s Mosque (Al-Masjid An-Nabawi) in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah is the second holiest mosque in Islam after the Holy Mosque in Makkah, and one of the three mosques to which the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ urged Muslims to travel, saying:
“Do not set out on a journey except to three mosques: the Sacred Mosque, my mosque here, and Al-Aqsa Mosque.” (Bukhari & Muslim).
Built by the Prophet ﷺ himself upon his arrival in Madinah, the mosque served as a spiritual, educational, and administrative center for the early Muslim community. It was the heart of Islamic teaching, governance, and social life — and from here, the message of Islam spread to the entire world.
Within the mosque lies the Rawdah Ash-Sharifah, described by the Prophet ﷺ as:
“The area between my house and my pulpit is one of the gardens of Paradise.”
It also contains the Prophet’s Chamber, where Prophet Muhammad ﷺ rests alongside his two closest companions, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them). The mosque’s Green Dome stands as an iconic symbol of the city and of Islamic heritage.
Over the centuries, the mosque has undergone numerous expansions, most notably during the modern Saudi era, which has equipped it with state-of-the-art facilities while preserving its timeless architectural beauty.
