• Visit one of the most important mosques in Islam — Masjid Al-Qiblatayn, where a significant event in Islamic history occurred. This is the location where the direction of prayer (Qiblah) was divinely altered from Jerusalem to Mecca during a congregational prayer led by Prophet Muhammad, connecting visitors to a crucial chapter in the Prophet’s life. • At Masjid Quba, the first mosque established in Islam by Prophet Muhammad, travelers will feel the deep spiritual importance of this revered site. They will learn about the mosque's rich history, appreciate its modern architecture, and have time for peaceful reflection in a tranquil environment. • At Mount Uhud, visitors will go to the site of the historic Battle of Uhud, where loyal companions fought alongside Prophet Muhammad. They will see the graves of martyrs, including Sayyiduna Hamzah, and hear the impactful story of the battle and its teachings. The location presents stunning views of the mountain and provides an opportunity for contemplation and prayer. • At the Garden of Salman Al-Farsi, visitors will discover a serene historic site associated with Salman Al-Farsi, the companion known for suggesting the trench during the Battle of the Trench. The garden displays the simplicity of early Islamic life and offers insight into the bond between the Prophet and his companions. It is a peaceful, shaded area ideal for reflection and learning about significant events from the Prophet’s life. The garden features 300 date palms planted by Prophet Muhammad to free Salman Al-Farsi, as well as a well with fresh, sweet water available for tasting and dates for purchase. • At Masjid Jummah in Madinah, visitors will attend the sacred site where the Prophet Muhammad led the very first Friday (Jumu'ah) prayer after migrating from Makkah. This mosque marks an essential milestone in Islamic history, offering an opportunity to connect with the journey and legacy of the Prophet. The calm atmosphere is perfect for prayer, reflection, and learning about this revered moment. • At The Seven Mosques (Sab’ah Masajid), travelers will explore a group of small historic mosques close to the site of the Battle of the Trench (Ghazwat Al-Khandaq). Each mosque is connected to important companions and moments from this pivotal event, including those of Salman Al-Farsi, Ali ibn Abi Talib, and Fatimah. Visitors will walk through these spiritually significant landmarks, gain knowledge about their historical importance, and reflect on the bravery and faith of the early Muslim community. • At the conclusion of this spiritual journey, participants will return to their hotel with a heart filled with reflections and memories from the sacred sites of Madinah.
