of many historical places in Madina which a pilgrim would love to visit. Out of

importance and status, next to the Masjid-e-Nabwi (Holy Prophet’s Mosque).
1. Jannat-ul-Baqi

3. Masjid-e-Qiblatain
In this masjid (mosque), ALLAH
Almighty directed
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was in the
middle of a namaz along with His companions, to turn His face from first Qibla
(Bait-ul-Muqqadis) of Islam (Biat-ul-Mauqaddis) to Holy Kaaba in Masjid
Al-Haram. That is why this masjid (mosque) is well-known as a mosque with two
Qiblas (directions).
4. Masjid-e-Jummah
This masjid (mosque) was built at
a site where the Prophet (PBUH) offered His first Jummah namaz in Madina.
5. Masjid-e-Ghamama
This masjid (mosque) is not far
from Masjid-e-Nabawi. The Prophet (PBUH) used to offer Eid namaz here. Once the
Prophet (PBUH) led Istisqa namaz or namaz-e-istisqa (prayer for rain) in it and
all of a sudden the clouds appeared and it started raining, therefore the name
Ghamama (clouds).
6. Masjid Umar
Farooque, Masjid Abu Bakr, and Masjid Ali These three masjid (mosques)
are close to Masjid-e-Ghamama.
7. Badr
The plain of Badr is south west of city Madina where the initial or
first battle between 313 Muslims and about 1000 Quraish of Makkah took place in
624 A.D. The Muslims had 70 camels and 2 horses while the Quraish had a cavalry
of 700 camels and 200 Horses. They were superior and better in weapons too, but
Muslims were successful and victorious because they were strong in strategy and
morale and due to the leadership and guidance of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
