Masjid Al Nabawi
Madinah
Saudi Arabia
Masjid Al Nabawi (The Mosque of the Prophet) in Medina, is the second holiest mosque in Islam. It is the final resting place of Prophet Muhammad. Masjid al-Haram in Mecca is the holiest mosque; the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem) is the third holiest in Islam.
The original mosque was built by Prophet Muhammad. Subsequent Islamic rulers greatly expanded and decorated it. The most important feature of the site is the green dome over the center of the mosque, where the tomb of Prophet Muhammad is located. Constructed in 1817 and painted green in 1839, it is known as the Dome of the Prophet. The edifice was originally Prophet Muhammad's house; he settled there after his Hijra (emigration) to Medina, later building a mosque on the grounds. He himself shared in the heavy work of construction. The original mosque was an open-air building. The basic plan of the building has been adopted in the building of other mosques throughout the world.
