رحلة إلي المسجد النبوي

A far view of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him’s mosque in Madinah

An inside view of the Prophet peace be upon him’s mosque

Another inside view of the Prophet’s mosque, this area is open aired and the green dome that we see is right about the prophet peace be upon him’s house where he peace and blessing of Allah be upon him is buried with his two blessed companions Abu Bakr and Umar may Allah be pleased with them

This is the expansion that has been recently added to the Prophet peace be upon him’s mosque due to the growing number of Muslims around the world

The Prophet’s Masjid is distinguished by the Rawda as-Shareefah, which is the area between the house of Allah’s apostle al-Hujrah as-Shareefah – and the Minbar – the pulpit. The Prophet peace be upon him said,

"Between my house and my minbar – pulpit – a Rawdah -garden- of Jannah." [Agreed upon]

This area is a side view of the Prophet’s house. At the time of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him his wives rooms were at the side of the mosque and there was a door directly from the house to the masjid (mosque). But nowadays after the expansions, the houses are now inside the mosque.

This is the Mihrab of Allah’s apostle may peace and blessings be upon him. The mihrab is basically a recess in the masjid that indicate the direction of the prayer ‘Qiblah’ (to Makkah) . Ofcourse it didnt look like this at the time of Prophet muhammad peace be upon him, but this is exactly where the prophet peace be upon him used to stand to lead the prayer with the early muslim believers. Allahu Akbar!

An outside view of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him’s mosque.

The prayer in the Prophet’s Masjid is better than one thousand prayers somewhere else except in the Holy Masjid of Makkah.

Same outside view as the one above at night time.

And about the virtues of praying in this beautiful Masjid, the Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said,

This is one of the gates of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him’s masjid. Written on it is "Muhammad – the Messenger of Allah"

This is a satellite view of the masjid of the Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

This is the Oldest Copy of the Noble Quran written in Madina before 1400 years ( Othman Copy ). Nowadays its saved in a museum in Turkey.

============================== ========
Those are pictures of the Kaa’ba the House of God in Makkah. It has been first built by Adam peace be upon him, and then by Abraham and his son Ishmael peace be upon them. Allah says in the Quran:

Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma’il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves
