This illustration presents a view of the city of Medina, with Al-Masjid an-Nabawi at its center, highlighting its spiritual and historical significance. Medina, located in present-day Saudi Arabia, is the second holiest city in Islam, after Mecca.

Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, also known as the Prophet’s Mosque, was originally built by Prophet Muhammad in 622 CE and later expanded by successive Islamic rulers. The mosque houses the Green Dome, under which the tomb of Prophet Muhammad, along with those of Caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar, is situated.

Medina is a major pilgrimage destination, especially during Hajj and Umrah, drawing millions of devotees who seek blessings at the Prophet’s resting place. This depiction reflects Medina’s sacred status, with its well-planned urban landscape, religious institutions, and the central role of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Islamic culture and history.
