Medina, also transliterated as Madīnah, is the capital of the Al-Madinah Region in Saudi Arabia. At the city’s heart is al-Masjid an-Nabawi, which is the burial place of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. Medina is one of the three holiest cities in Islam, the other two being Mecca and Jerusalem.

Medina was Muhammad’s destination of his Hijrah from Mecca, and became the capital of a rapidly increasing Muslim Empire, under Muhammad’s leadership, serving as the power base of Islam, and where Muhammad’s Ummah, composed of both locals and immigrants from Muhammad’s original home of Mecca, developed. Medina is home to three prominent mosques, namely al-Masjid an-Nabawi, Quba Mosque, and Masjid al-Qiblatayn. Muslims believe that the chronologically final surahs of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad in Medina, and are called Medinan surahs in contrast to the earlier Meccan surahs.
