Masjid Al Haram. The height of this cave is around 634 meters on the mountain
called ( Jabal Al Nour ) also known as “Mount Of Light” In this cave, our
beloved Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم used to pray. This is the cave where one of the
first verses of the Quran was sent to the Holy Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم brought by
Angel Jibreel (AS). The companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم used to
visit this cave even after he passed away because our Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم used
to visit it regularly.Muslims around the world also visit there to display love and affection for the
Holy Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم. Pray two Nafl when you visit Hira Cave. May Allah

Cave of Saur (Jabal Al-Thawr):

The cave of Saur is almost 7 to 6 km away from Masjid Al Haram. The Cave of Saur
is located on the mountain known as Jabal Al-Thawr. In this cave, Our Prophet
Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم hid from the Quraish Tribe for 3 days. He chose the western part of
the mountain to climb. Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم wanted to go North, so he chose the
western part, which was not visible to the disbelievers. Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم
stayed in Thawr Cave for 3 days and nights before going to Madina, disbelievers
were finding Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم, and disbelievers announced that whoever found
Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم would be rewarded with 100 camels. Therefore, Prophet
Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم stayed here for 3 days with Abu Bakr (RA). After that, Prophet
Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم went to Madinah. This Ziyarat is visited by many Pilgrims.

Mina:

Mina is a valley in Makkah. It is a part of the Hajj pilgrimage. During the
Hajj, pilgrims stay in Mina for many nights. Muslims also call Mina the City of
Tents, where Pilgrims stay during hajj. Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم sacrificed his
animal in Mina during Hajj and also shaved his head in Mina.

Mount Arafat(Jabal ar Rahmah):

Mount Arafat, it is also called The Mountain of Mercy where pilgrims seek Mercy
during Hajj from Allah. It is an important part of Hajj as pilgrims leave Mina
For Arafat on the ninth day to recite the Quran, pray, and for Khutbah. Near or
on this mountain Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم gave Hajj Al Wida Khutbah. Many Muslims
say that on this mountain Hazrat Adman and Hazrat Hawa met for the first time
after being removed from Heaven.
In this place, they were forgiven by Allah, so it is called Jabal Al-Rahmah,
meaning Mountain of Mercy.

Muzdalifah:

Muzdalifah is a stopping point for pilgrims between Mina and Arafat; it is a
holy valley in Makkah. Mina is a key part of the hajj. Muslims around the world
gather there. They stay the night before pelting Shaitan. Visiting these places

Masjid Aisha ‘Umm Al Mumineen’:

Masjid Aisha (RA) is in Makkah it is also called as ‘MASJID AL TANEEM’. This is
the Masjid where Pilgrims pay attention to performing Umrah and also wear the
Ihram. Here and then, they proceed to Masjid-al-Haram to perform Umrah. The
majority of the people in Makkah, or even the pilgrims, came from different
places when they were done with their first Umrah, so for doing the second
Umrah, they came here and then wore their Ihram from here.
There is also a Hadith of Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم in which he mentioned that when
Hazrat Aisha (RA) wanted to perform Umrah, which she was not able to do earlier
the Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم said to her that she could go to this masjid and then
wear her Ihram and set attention to perform Umrah this is the reason why this
Masjid is called Masjid Aisha

Masjid Jinn:

Masjid Jinn is close to Masjid-al-Haram to talk about the history of the mosque.
It was the same mosque where our beloved Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم visited with
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masaud(RA) and our Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم drew a line on the
ground and instructed Hazrat Abdullah bin Masaud not to cross the line till he
did return. It was night when our Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم was here and he recited
the Holy Quran for jins As per records last part of the Holy Quran was recited

there. Masjid-e-Umar Farooq (RA), Masjid-e-Ali bin Abu Talib (RA),
Masjid-e-Salman Farsi (RA), Masjid-e-Fath, and there were three mosques which
they martyred and made one big Mosque. This is known As Saba Masjid; over time,
seven Mosques were built there.
The main thing about this place is the Battle of Al-Khandaq and in
Masjid-e-Fath Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم recite nafl in thanksgiving there after
Ghazwa-e-Khandaq, because there was strong wind there and non-muslims ran away their tents were uprooted and Muslims won here without fighting.

Graves, verily visiting them will remind you of the Hereafter (Akhirah), meaning
visiting graves will make you think about death and the Day of Judgement.

Wadi E Jinn:

Wadi-e-Jinn is 40 mins away from Madinah. On the road of Wadi, there is a point
where if you stop your car it will start going by itself at almost 120 speeds.
Many people say there are jinns. But if we see it from the scientific lens,
Wadi-e-Jinn is in between the mountains, as per many people’s understanding, as
the mountains here are in a circle, and the place forms in between the circle so
the mountain generates magnetic power, so it happens.
It is completely Allah’s creation and t. Itsignno Allah it is not less than a
miracle. It is the miracle of Allah so everyone has to see ALLAH’s nature or

Salman Farsi Garden:

A very Famous Garden of Madinah-Al-Munawwara, Salman Farsi (RA) garden where he
used to work and in this garden Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم planted 300 date trees.
This was a garden of Jewish, and he demanded a price to release Hazrat Salman
Farsi (RA) 300 date trees and 40 coins of Gold, he also demanded that trees
should give dates in their first year, so the Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم planted 300
trees in this garden by himself. This place is very peaceful and beautiful. You
can also buy dates from there too.

Masjid-Banu-Unaif:

This mosque is near Masjid-e-Quba. This mosque arc is very beautiful, the great
companion Talha Al-Bara(RA) lives here. Our Holy Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم came here
to see him because he was quite sick so when the Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم came here
to visit him, he offered the morning prayer here. It is mentioned in some
traditions that He(SAW) offered morning prayer here.
Otherwise, there is not any strong reference avaithatThis is the reason the
second name of this Mosque is Masjid-such is because Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم
offered namaz Fajr here. This mosque is very near to Masjid Quba. It is on the
southwest side of Masjid-e-Quba.

Masjid-Al-Ghamamah:

In this Mosque, Our Holy Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم offers his last Eid prayer. The
mosque was built during the reign of the Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz, he built
Mosques in all those places where Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم prayed. This was also one
of those Mosques, Masjid-Al-Ghamamah. The architecture of Masjid-al-Ghamamah is
very beautiful.

Masjid-e-Jummah(Friday):

This is the Masjid where the Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم offered the first Jummah
Prayer after coming to Madinah. The tribe Salim Bani Awos used to live here; our
Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم came here, Muhajreen and Ansar. We’re here near Masjid
Jummah. They welcomed Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم, and at that time, they didn’t have a
mosque. Then Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم offered Jummah prayer with them at this place,
this is the reason the name of this Mosque is Masjid-e-Jummah.

Masjid-e-Qiblatain:

This is the mosque where the Qibla was changed during prayer. It was Zuhr or Asr
prayers when Prophet Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم received revelation from Allah, instructing
him to take the Masjid-e-Haram as the Qibla instead of Baitul Maqdis. Sahaba(RA)
changed the Qibla immediately during the prayer. In the middle of the prayer,
they turned their faces towards Masjid-al-Haram
