セブンモスク（サバマサジッド）-マディーナ

The seven mosques is actually a cluster of six mosques at the site of Jange Khandaq. There is a large mosque at the base and other mosques like Fat'h mosque uphill. Each mosque is attributed to a sahabah (prophet's companion) like Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali, Salman Farsi and Saad bin Muadh. At this place Prophet SAW offered prayers and later a dome was constructed at the site. You can see the mountain from the courtyard of the mosque. This is the place where Khandaq (Trenches) were dug during historic Jange Khandaq. Usually people pray two rakah Nafil at this site. You can fund an Uber or Qayan cab from the app. It takes ~10-15 riyal for a ride to Haram Shareef.

The Seven Mosques (Arabic: المساجد السبعة, romanized: al-Masājid al-Saʿba) is a complex of six small historic and often visited mosques in the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia. The complex consists of six mosques in spite of the name "Sab'ah" means "seven", because Saudis demolished one. Although the mosque is often visited by pilgrims, Saudi sources claim that there are no accounts in the order from the Islamic prophet Muhammad or in Sharia regarding the virtue of visiting these mosques. The prophet said: "You do not force yourself for preparation of visiting except these three mosques: Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, Masjid al-Haram, and Al-Aqsa. But recently there is a push towards saving this as cultural and religious heritage. Like referred below for Masjid Ali bin Abu Talib.

Ghazwa e Khandaq, also known as the Battle of the Trench, took place in 627 CE (5 AH in the Islamic calendar). It was a significant battle during the early years of Islam involving the Muslims of Medina, led by Prophet Muhammad, against the Quraysh tribe of Mecca and their allies. The conflict arose when the Quraysh, along with other Arab tribes, marched towards Medina to attack the Muslims. To protect the city, the Muslims dug a trench (khandaq) around Medina, a defensive strategy suggested by Salman al-Farsi, a companion of the Prophet. The siege lasted for about a month, during which the Muslims endured harsh conditions and faced various challenges. However, due to the defensive trench and unfavorable weather conditions, the attackers were unable to breach Medina's defenses. Eventually, internal disputes among the coalition forces, coupled with strong winds and fatigue, led to their withdrawal. The Battle of the Trench was a turning point in early Islamic history as it showcased the strategic acumen of the Muslims in defending their community against external threats. It also solidified the unity among the diverse Muslim and non-Muslim tribes living in Medina at that time.

The Seven Mosques The seven mosques located to the west of Sela Mountain at the location of the Battle of Al-Khandaq. These mosques are as follows: Masjid Al-Fateh Prophet (peace be upon him) stayed at the site for a month, in preparation for Al-Ahzab (or Al-Khandaq) Battle. Masjid Salman Al-Farisi Salman Al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) was the Companion that came up with the idea of the trench to protect Medinah from the invaders and kept guard on the southern flank of Sela Mountain. Masjid Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Prophet (peace be upon him) performed prayer once on the site, and it was used later by Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq as an open site for Eid prayer. Masjid Umar ibn Al-Khattab The architectural structure of Umar ibn Al-Khattab is much like that of Al-Fateh Mosque; it is shaped like a rectangular hall and has an open yard. It is only a few meters, to the south of, Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq Mosque. Masjid Ali ibn abi Talib It is on the top of a hill, to the east of Fatima Al-Zahra Mosque. Like all the other seven mosques, it has seen several renovation and redecoration works throughout history. Masjid Fatima It is the smallest of the seven mosques. Some historical sources state that it was originally called Muaz ibn Jabal Mosque. Masjid al-Khandaq Also referred to as the “Mosque of the Conquest,” is the modern mosque at the site. It is connected to the Battle of the Trench, which took place during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Central Medina is open only to Muslims. However, non-Muslims have access to the outlying areas of the city marked by specific zones.

The Battle of Khandaq(Trench) in the 5th year of Hijri resulted in the victory of the Muslims over the enemy tribes, including the Jewish leaders and the Quraysh, who planned to attack Medina but were expelled from the city.
