An outside view of the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah. MADINAH: ARAB NEWS Wednesday 15 August 2012 Al-Madinah Al-Munawwara is a place of historic and spiritual density. The landmarks that mark this landscape are so numerous they can hardly be mentioned. Yet each and every mosque and field of this holy sanctuary symbolize an event in Islamic history that is too significant to let pass. Beyond the Prophetic Mosque — initially built by the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself and one of the largest mosques in the world with a capacity of up to 1 million people during the Haj season — there are over 30 mosques where the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions, prayed in Madinah. The Masjid Al-Juma is where the prophet (peace be upon him) prayed his first Friday congregational after he left the Quba village for Madinah. It was also known as the Bani Salim Mosque and the Wadi Mosque as the area was part of the Wadi Al-Ranouna. Another name for the very same mosque is Atikah mosque, the Saudi Press Agency reported yesterday. Of staunch significance is the Al-Qiblatain mosque, which stands in the Bani Salma village. Traditions hold that it is from this mosque that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was ordered to turn to the Kaaba as the direction of prayers. The word “Qiblatain” means two prayer directions. It was in this mosque that the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his followers, who started the prayer facing the “Beit Al-Maqdis” in Jerusalem, changed their direction in the midst of their prayer to the Kaaba following a revelation of a verse. Masjid Al-Fatah is one of the group of mosques known as “the Seven Mosques” which include the Salman Al-Farsi, Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Umar bin Khattab, Ali bin Abi Talib and Saad bin Muadh mosques. Another ancient mosque is the Sajdah (Prostration) mosque. It was where the Prophet (PBUH) made a lengthy prostration of thanks. The Al-Suqya mosque is close to an ancient well and now within the walls of an abandoned railway station. The Al-Sheikhain mosque is located on the road between Madinah and Uhud Mountain and its historical importance lies in the fact that Muslim soldiers camped the night there before the Battle of Uhud against Abu Sufyan’s Makkan forces took place. Another famous ancient mosque is Masjid Al-Ijabah or Banu Muawiyah situated north of the Al-Baqee graveyard. The Dhul Hulaifah Mosque, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) sat under a tree, carries other names such as Masjid Al-Shajarah, Masjid Al-Ihram, and Masjid Abyar Ali. www.arabnews.com/historic-mosques-madinah-add-islamic-glo...

The Kaaba's Black Stone is a cornerstone with an essence of Heaven Thursday, 16 August 2012There's not much left of the black stone, but that is what creates such mystery and reverence amongst Muslim worshippers. (Al Arabiya) There are still a lot of secrets surrounding the Black Stone. The most significant mysteries, however, are in the parts that are missing It went from a 30 centimeters radius stone into small fragments of no more than eight little stones cemented into a silver frame to substitute the original stone. “There is nothing left from the original stone but a few fragments. What is left is not the whole stone that was venerated when Ibrahim built the Kaaba, but just fragments,” Dr. Ahmad Moraei, professor at Umm al-Qura University said. Many natural and human events have participated in the fragmenting of the Black Stone. The most famous crime was that of Qarmatians’, who invaded and robbed the holy place. They took the stone away from its base for twenty-two years starting from the Hijri year of 317. Some of the fragments were returned to their original place, but the rest are still missing “The Qarmatians led by Ahmad al-Qarmati came to the Holy mosque, and unfortunately they invaded the Kaaba. They killed over 70,000 people in that day. Ahmad allegedly even said “God almighty gave life to people, and I am here to take it away They took the Black Stone to the city of Ahsa where it remained with them for 12 years before returning to the Kaaba,” Dr. Moraei said. The most popular Islamic story says the stone is part of Heaven, that the archangel Gabriel brought when the creator of Kaaba, Prophet Abraham, wanted to mark the place where the pilgrims circumambulate the Kaaba as part of the “Tawaf” ritual. It is still hanging in the right corner, at 110cm above ground. “The people circumambulating the Kaaba seize the opportunity, if possible, to kiss the stone; but in the case of overcrowding, if they do not have the opportunity to kiss the Black Stone, they should point to it and exclaim “God is Great”,” Mohammed Al-Assaf, the General President’s advisor of the Prophet's Mosque Affairs said. Being a part of the Kaaba, and the beginning and end of the “Tawaf” ritual, the Black Stone is considered as one of the Islamic holy sites that are the most seen, touched and kissed. Even before Islam, it was a sacred pillar for the Arabs. http://english.alarabiya.net/article...16/232485.html
