The first Muslims from among the Ansar before the Prophet’s migration used to gather and pray at a place in the center of Medina (and its name at that time was “Yathrib”), where Musab bin Umair (the envoy of the Prophet Muhammad in Mecca) used to pray with them and teach them the Qur’an as well, and before him Asaad bin Zurara used to pray. The mosque has undergone several expansions throughout history, passing through the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, the Umayyad State, the Abbasid and the Ottoman Empire, and finally during the era of the Saudi State, where the largest expansion took place in 1994. It is the mosque built by the Prophet Muhammad in Medina after his migration in the year 1 AH corresponding to 622 next to his house after the construction of the Quba Mosque. Al-Masjid an-Nabawi or the Prophet’s Mosque or the Prophet’s Mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world and the second holiest site in Islam (after the Grand Mosque in Mecca).
