6 Most Sacred Places In Madinah




Madinah is the second religious place in Islam. Millions of people come to visit this holy place during the Hajj and Umrah. It is important for Muslims because Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is buried in the al-Nabvi Mosque, which is the second holiest and largest mosque in the world. Many sacred places are related to Islam and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).

I talk about some holy places in Madinah, which I already have visited last year during my Umrah trip. These sacred places are related to Islamic history. Millions of the Pilgrims come to see these holy places in Medina when they go to Saudi Arabia for any reason. 

Six more sacred sites in Madinah:


  • Masjid-e-Nabawi
  • Quba Mosque
  • Mount Uhud
  • Masjid Al-Ahzaab (Masjid Al-Fath)
  • Al-Madina Museum
  • Masjid Al-Qiblatain



Masjid-e-Nabawi


Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is a second holy mosque which is established and built in the city of Medina in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia by the Islamic prophet Muhammad [PBUH]. It was one of the first mosques built by Muhammad [PBUH] and now is listed in the second-largest mosques in the world. It is the second most sacred place for Muslims after Masjid-ul-Haram because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is also buried at this spot with his two companions under the green dome that has become the landmark of Masjid-e-Nabawi.



Quba Mosque

Quba Mosque is a mosque in the outlying of Medina, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the mosque was built 6 kilometers off Medina in the village of Quba. It is one of the few must-visit places in Madinah in religious reference. It is the second-largest mosque in Madinah after the Prophet’s (PBUH) Mosque. It is one of the oldest mosques in Madinah, and it was founded by the Prophet (PBUH) himself after migrating from Makkah.



Mount Uhud

  Mount Uhud is a mountain north of Medina. It is 1,077m high. It was the site of the 2nd battle (Ghazwah Uhud) between Muslim and Meccan forces. The Battle of Uhud was fought on 19 March, 625 CE, between a force from the small Muslim community of Medina and a large army from Mecca. 
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) once said:

“Uhud is a mountain that loves us, and we love it.”




Masjid Al-Ahzaab (Masjid Al-Fath)

This mosque is located at that place where the enemies attacked Madinah. Right at that place, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made dua (supplication) during the Battle of Ahzab and where Allah sent him the glad tidings of victory. 



Al-Madina Museum

Madina Museum is located on King Abdul Aziz Road in Madinah Knowledge Economic City. It is the first and the oldest museum in Madinah dedicated to the history of Islam.

The museum has also recounted the details about the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) publishing periodicals and holding seminars on the history and culture of the city. 
The museum opens from Saturday to Thursday.



Masjid Al-Qiblatain

Masjid Qiblatain is also a Mosque of the Two Qiblas. It is historically significant to Muslims as this is where, in Rajab 2 AH, the revelation of the Quranic verse came, to change the direction of the Qibla from Bait-al-Maqdis to the Kaaba.

If anyone wants to perform Umrah from the UK, then I recommend for him/her that he/she should take any Umrah Packages in this matter from any agency because it is better.
 But I will suggest for you the Labbaik Hajj Umrah Travel Agency.

How to maintain good health and wellness over Ramadan

  During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, which means strictly no eating or drinking during the daylight hours and yes, that includes water. Muslims also buy Ramadan Umrah Packages and perform Umrah in this holy month. “Ramadan is an incredible month of self-regulation and an opportunity to focus on our spiritual, mental and physical needs,” says Canadian-Somali nutritionist and gut health expert, Idil Farah. “It’s a period of worship, sacrifice, giving and committing to a higher purpose,” she adds. As a Muslim woman, I couldn’t agree more: Ramadan is the perfect time to cleanse the mind, body and soul. But admittedly, it isn’t easy at all and demands a lot of self-discipline. With the ambition to be more active and prioritise my health this Ramadan, I spoke to Muslim fitness and wellness experts to learn more about how to eat, exercise and take better care of our bodies while fasting.

For getting a visa, I'm collecting some valuable information about it, and I found out that the Saudi Embassy has made it easy for people to get it for the Umrah journey.
