The Green Domes

There is a beautiful secret regarding the tile on the green Dome of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. The Hadith referred to was narrated by Abu Abdullah who said the people of Medina faced a severe drought they complained to Aisha RA. She said look at the grave of the prophets of Allah, and made an opening, facing the sky.

And it was the year of the exceedingly fat animals. This was one of the miracles after Prophet Muhammad PBUH left the world. After that the Ottomans created a special tile on the Dome to commemorate this event. Whenever you book any Umrah packages do visit these green domes.

The seven mosque

The Muslim divided a very large family and this place is called Sava Masjid as the seven mosques. The battle of khandaq fought here and Muslims dwell a huge fosse to trap the opposites.

It is said that there used to be two mosques which demolished and then a big mosque get built. One of these mosques was in the name of Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique and the other was in the name of Saad bin Maaz. There is a contradiction between the second mosques regarding name. For the time being in the past, the all seven mosques closed and prohibited for visitors. You are lucky if you visit all seven mosques. All seven mosques are built in name of different Sahaba. Muslims like visiting these mosques because of the companionship they had with Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Hejaz Railway museum

This museum built there where there is an engine, a bogie and a compartment. And apart from that, there are some ticketing machines and some old telegraphic machines etc. Now this railway station is no longer there but this building is still present and serving as museum. When Abdul Hamid announced this project, there was a lot of opposition against this project. That was the time when Turkish umpire was doing very well. They knew that if this project which is being built on the coastline is completed, then it will be difficult.

It will be challenging for Britain and European countries to disturb the Muslims because it will be very difficult logistically.  It was a great project for the movement of armies from Syria to Jordan. It is clearly visible that this project was not only limited to the point Medina, but the next plan of this project was to go to Mecca and then crash down to Yemen so that the entire trade route can be covered.

Masjid Al Ghamamah

This mosque is at a distance of approximately 300 meters. The Imam of this mosque is Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique Radiyallahu Ta’ala Anha. Why is it built at this place?
