Why Do We Call It \u201cNabawi\u201d?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

This holy mosque is called \u201cAl Masjid an Nabawi\u201d worldwide. Our Prophet PBUH built it himself after he migrated from Makkah to Madina.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This mosque became his resting place, along with his companions Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar (RA). It is also considered the home of the Prophet PBUH’s belongings and his family members.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Importance of Al Masjid An Nabawi<\/b><\/h2>\n

Masjid e Nabvi is the second largest and holiest mosque in the world. All of the architectural styles and the rest of the things are matchless, where all of the Muslims can sit and recite the holy Quran.<\/span> The Arab rulers tried to enhance the grooming of this mosque according to their own will. <\/span>And now it\u2019s in front of you as the only best architectural model ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every year, millions of Muslims visit Saudi Arabia to see this mosque. If you are planning to visit this holy mosque, December will be the most suitable month for you, with less heat. The Muslims can go to Umrah this month, too. You must approach any trustworthy travel agency to get the December Umrah packages<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can have a better understanding of the importance of this mosque from the following hadith: <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), on visiting Masjid Nabawi, said, <\/span>\u201c<\/b>Whoever asks blessings for me at my grave, I hear him, and whoever asks blessings upon me from afar, it is conveyed to me.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jannat al Baqi is also situated near this mosque, and according to Hazrat Aisha (RA):\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>\u2018A’isha said that whenever it was her turn for God’s messenger to spend the night with her, he would go out towards the end of the night to al-Baqi’ and say, \u201cPeace be upon you, household of a people who are believers. What you were being promised will come to you tomorrow, you will receive it after some delay, and if God will, we shall join you. O God, grant forgiveness to the inhabitants of Baqi’ al- Gharqad.\u201d (This is the full name of the cemetery at Medina. Baqi’ properly means a place with tree roots, and gharqad is the name of a thorny type of tree. The name was retained even when all signs of trees were removed.)<\/span><\/p>\n

(<\/span>Mishkat al-Masabih 1766<\/a>)<\/b><\/p>\n

Historical Point Of View\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Makkah to Madina and was warmly welcomed by the Yathrib’s nobles and chiefs. All the people of Madina were impatiently waiting for him.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

All of them were offering the prophet (PBUH) to stay in their home, but he kindly declined all the offers. His camel\u2019s name was Qaswa, and he told<\/span> the people, \u201c[This camel] is commanded by Allah; wherever it stops, that will be my home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She continued walking, then stopped and sat in a very large courtyard of two orphan brothers, Suhail (RA) and Sahl (RA). The Prophet (PBUH) said, \u201cThis is the home.\u201d That place was the perfect choice from all perspectives. Having enough date trees and grass makes it an ideal place for construction and many other benefits. The Prophet Muhammad bought this place for 10 dinars from Asad ibn Zurarah (RA), the guardian of these two orphans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anas bin Malik I narrates:<\/b><\/p>\n

“The location where the Prophet’s Mosque was built belonged to Banu Najjar. In it, there were date-palm trees and graves of the idolaters. The Prophet said to them: ‘Name its price’. They said: ‘We will never take any money for it.’ The Prophet \ufdfa built it, and they were assisting him, and the Prophet \ufdfa was saying: ‘The real life is the life of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirah.’ Before the mosque was built, the Prophet would perform prayer wherever he was when the time for prayer came<\/span>“<\/span><\/p>\n

[Narrated in Sunan Ibn Majah 742<\/strong><\/a> (Book 4, Hadith 8)]<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) ordered the Ansar and Muhajireen to clean the bushes to clear the land. Then, the Prophet \ufdfa and his companions started the construction of the Al Nabawi Mosque from stone-made clay and bricks. Then, the Ottoman Empire renovated this mosque and increased it several times more. That\u2019s how it kept expanding and became the second-largest mosque in the world.<\/span>
