Seven Mosques in Saudi Arabia’s located in Medina city is a complex of mosques.
These seven mosques are linked to Ghazwat al-Khandaq (the Battle of the Trench), also known as Ghazwat al-Ahzab (Battle of the Confederates), and they are located on the western side of the Sala’ Mountain, near a part of the trench which the Muslims dug during the Prophet’s time to defend Medina when the armies of Quraysh and tribes allied with it marched towards it in 5 A.H.
Muslims defending Medina were stationed in these mosques and each mosque was named after the person who was stationed there, except for Al-Fath Mosque. From north to south, these mosques are Al-Fath Mosque, Salman Al-Farsi Mosque, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq Mosque, Umar bin Khattab Mosque Ali bin Abi Talib Mosque and Fatimah Az-Zahra Mosque.
According to historians, the real number of mosques was six and the Masjid al-Qiblatayn Mosque, and which is one kilometer away from them, was added to them because those who usually visit these six mosques also visit the Masjid al-Qiblatayn Mosque.
The largest mosque is Al-Fath Mosque also known as Al-Ahzab Mosque. It is built above a hill in the west part of Sala’ Mountain. It was called Al-Ahzab Mosque because it wass where the Prophet, peace and prayer be upon him, prayed during the Ghazwat al-Ahzab. It was also called Al-Fath because the Quran’s Al-Fath Surah was revealed in that location as the battle’s result ended in triumph for Muslims.
