Madinah, Islam’s second holiest city after Makkah, was a safe haven for Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and is now his final resting place. It’s a city full of rich Islamic history, home to iconic mosques and sacred sites that millions of pilgrims visit every year during Hajj and Umrah.

If you’re planning your Ziyarat in Madinah, here are some key places to check out:
Seven Mosques
A historical group of mosques tied to the Battle of the Trench. Each mosque is named after a prominent companion, and they represent the defence of Madinah during a crucial time in Islamic history. Muslims defending Medina were stationed in these mosques and each mosque was named after the person who was stationed there, except for Al-Fath Mosque. From north to south, these mosques are Al-Fath Mosque, Salman Al-Farsi Mosque, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq Mosque, Umar bin Khattab Mosque Ali bin Abi Talib Mosque and Fatimah Az-Zahra Mosque.
Mount Uhud (Jabal E Uhud)
A symbolic mountain where the Battle of Uhud took place. Many of the Prophet’s (pbuh) companions are buried here. It’s a powerful reminder of sacrifice and faith.
Masjid Qiblatain
The mosque where the Qibla (direction of prayer) was changed from Jerusalem to the Kaaba in Makkah. A unique and historic place to offer your prayers.
Beer E Ghars (Bir al-Ghars)
One of the Prophet’s (pbuh) favorite wells. It’s believed he drank from it, made ablution here, and requested its water for his washing after death. Recently restored and a peaceful place to visit.
Masjid Quba
The first mosque ever built in Islam, founded by the Prophet (pbuh) himself. It’s just a short drive from Masjid Nabawi and worth visiting for both its spiritual and architectural beauty.
Salman Farsi Date Farm
A meaningful spot where the Prophet (pbuh) and companions planted 300 date palms to help free Salman Al Farsi from slavery. Visitors can explore the farm, drink from the well, and even buy dates.
Each site in Madinah offers a deeper connection to the life of the Prophet (pbuh) and the early days of Islam. Whether you're visiting for Hajj, Umrah, or spiritual reflection, these places make your journey even more meaningful.
