Description
Al Madīnah al Munawwarah, commonly known as Medina, is one of the holiest cities in Islam, located in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. It is the second city after Mecca, where Muslims are encouraged to visit. Medina is famed for being the site of the Prophet Muhammad's mosque, the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, which is also his burial place.
The city has significant historical importance as it was the location where the Prophet Muhammad and his followers fled from Mecca in 622 CE, marking the beginning of the Islamic calendar. Medina is also known for the Constitution of Medina, which established a multi-religious Islamic state in the city during Muhammad's time.
Today, Medina is a major pilgrimage destination, attracting millions of Muslims each year. The city's religious significance is complemented by its rich culture, characterized by traditional markets, historic sites, and a variety of educational institutions that promote Islamic teachings.
