Prophet's Mosque, Islamic place of worship in Medina, Saudi Arabia
The Prophet's Mosque spans across a vast complex with ten minarets reaching 105 meters high and features extensive open courtyards for prayer gatherings.
The construction of this religious structure began in 622 CE when Muhammad selected land gifted by two orphans, establishing it as both a prayer space and community center.
The mosque maintains its role as an educational center where scholars conduct regular lessons on Islamic studies, theology, and religious interpretation for global attendees.
The mosque accommodates 600,000 worshippers simultaneously through multiple prayer halls, courtyards, and modern facilities with continuous access throughout the year.
The Green Dome marks the location of Muhammad's tomb in the southeast corner, incorporating the original space of Aisha's house into the mosque structure.
