Madinah al-Munawwarah
The Radiant City - Home of the Prophet's Mosque
Madinah al-Munawwarah (The Radiant City), also known as Medina, is the second holiest city in Islam. It was to Madinah that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Makkah in 622 CE, an event known as the Hijrah, which marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. The Prophet (PBUH) spent the last years of his life here and is buried in Masjid an-Nabawi.
Unlike Makkah, which is restricted to Muslims only, Madinah welcomes visitors of all faiths to its surrounding areas, though Masjid an-Nabawi and its immediate vicinity are for Muslims. The city exudes peace and tranquility, offering pilgrims a deeply spiritual experience.

A prayer in Masjid an-Nabawi is equivalent to 1,000 prayers in any other mosque except Masjid al-Haram. The mosque features the famous Green Dome, beneath which lies the tomb of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), along with the tombs of his closest companions Abu Bakr and Umar (RA).
The Rawdah ash-Sharifah, the area between the Prophet's tomb and his pulpit (minbar), is described in a hadith as "a garden from the gardens of Paradise." Pilgrims seek to pray in this blessed area, though it requires advance booking through the Nusuk app.
