Al-Rayah Mosque, Historic mosque on Mount Dhubab in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

The mosque structure measures 4 meters in length with a height of 6 meters, featuring a dome and a small round minaret.

During the Battle of Ahzab in 627, Prophet Muhammad established a command post at this location to oversee the trench digging activities.

The name Al-Rayah, meaning Flag Mosque, originates from the war banner raised at this site during the Battle of Harrah.

The prayer hall accommodates 100 worshippers and includes a mihrab, with an entrance located on the western wall of the building.

Recent renovations in 2022 transformed the mosque exterior from white to light stone color, while neighboring houses were removed to improve access.
