مسجد القبلتين - المدينة المنورة

This Masjid has a very special importance in Islam because it is said that all Muslims were offering prayer to the 1st Qibla which is towards Masjid e Aqsa but one day during prayer Allah Subhana Wa Tallah asked Hazarat Muhammad PBUH to change their direction to Khana Kaba Makkah and immediately obeying order Hazarat Muhammad PBUH changed the direction during prayer and at the same time all Sahaba Ikram RA also changed the direction. So that is why this Holy Masjid known as Masjid e Qiblatain since then Muslims offer the prayers to Makkah. There is still one prayer Matt placed on the wall mentioning the direction of 1st Qibla and I also taken one selfie picture of that prayer Matt. This is one of the important Ziarat in Madina so I suggest to must visit this Masjid.

Alhamdulillah had opportunity to perform two Rakah Salah here. It is really sad that these peoples have wiped off previously had old Quiblah minar. Now it doesn't have sign of old Quiblah

Masjid Al Qiblatayn translates to Mosque of the two Qiblas and is believed to be the Mosque where The Blessed Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) received the revelation to change the Qibla (direction of prayer) from Jerusalem to Makkah. (Allah knows best).

Masjid al-Qiblatayn, which translates to the "Mosque of the Two Qiblas," is a historically significant mosque located in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It holds a unique place in Islamic history due to an extraordinary event that occurred during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The mosque earned its name because of the pivotal incident when the Prophet Muhammad and his followers received a divine revelation instructing them to change the direction of their daily prayers (Qibla) from Jerusalem to the Kaaba in Mecca. This event is recorded in the Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 144). The mosque is situated about 2.5 kilometers (approximately 1.5 miles) from the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. Its architectural design is simple and elegant, reflecting the historical significance of the site. One remarkable feature of Masjid al-Qiblatayn is that it has two mihrabs (prayer niches). One mihrab faces towards the Kaaba in Mecca, while the other faces towards Jerusalem. This architectural arrangement serves as a visual reminder of the profound change in the Qibla direction and its historical importance. Visitors to Masjid al-Qiblatayn can witness this unique design, which symbolizes the transition in the Islamic faith's prayer orientation. The mosque also serves as a place of worship and reflection, allowing pilgrims and visitors to connect with this significant moment in Islamic history. In addition to its historical importance, Masjid al-Qiblatayn is a peaceful and serene place where people come to offer prayers, seek spiritual solace, and gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of Islamic rituals. It is a must-visit site for those interested in Islamic history and the profound changes that occurred during the time of the Prophet Muhammad.

This is the masjid where Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam got to know during mid prayer that the Qibla had Changed as his previous request to Allah. The masjid has both the Qibla. The previous one towards Bait-al-Muqaddus and the present one towards the Ka'ba. Beautiful mosque with humble white appearance. Soothing Interiors.
