An important event in Islamic history

- July 03, 2020

Today we are taking you to one of the most beautiful spiritual places in the city of the Prophet in connection with the awareness of the important places of Medina in the holy month of Ramadan. This place witnessed the great events of Islamic history. This is the place where the Qiblah Mosque was revealed during the Qiblah prayers.

Engineer Hassan Tahir, director of the Dar al-Madinah al-Munawarah Museum, says that when you reach a city and feel

spiritual peace and blessings there, make sure that you have reached the city of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Among the important and memorable places of this blessed city is the Qiblatin Mosque which became known as the Bani Salma Mosque.
A very important event took place in this mosque which changed the Islamic history and a very important thing was born in Islam. Of course, this is the case of the transfer of the qiblah when the qiblah of the Muslims was changed from Jerusalem to the Masjid al-Haram. This happened in the second year of the migration. Allah, the Exalted, fulfilled the wish of His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and revealed the following verse:
He has turned his face towards the heavens, so let him go before you are pleased with him.
Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent a Sahaabah to inform the Muslims around Madinah about the change of qiblah.
The Muslims paid special attention to the Qiblatin Mosque and took good care of it. Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) renovated this mosque while he was the governor of Madinah. This process was repeated in the Abbasi era. During Islamic history, the rulers and sultans took special care of the Qiblatin Mosque, even during the reign of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz, its unique building and large expansion came to light.

This mosque holds a high place in the hearts of Muslims. Because at every prayer, turning towards the Ka'bah, they are reminded of the great event that took place in the Qiblatin Mosque. The Qiblatin Mosque is located near the Islamic University in the western part of Madinah. The construction of this mosque is attributed to Bani Haram, a branch of the Bani Salamah tribe.
