Masjidul Qiblatayn, Madinah
|
|
This Mosque is situated in Madinah Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia. In the beginning, the Muslims offered their prayers facing in the direction of "Baitul-Maqdis" (Jerusalem). Once during the second year of Hijrah the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was leading the prayers in this mosque, at Banu Salma, when Allah's command came to turn from then on towards The Kabah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. So the Mosque came to be called as Masjidul Qiblatayn, or the Mosque of two Qiblahs.
