Medina is commended for holding the mosque of Muhammad (SAW) and likewise as the city which offered asylum to him and his devotees, thus ranks as the second holiest city of Islam, after Mecca. Muhammad was covered in Medina, under the Green Dome, as were the first two Rashidun (Rightly Guided Caliphs), Abu Bakr and Umar, who were covered beside him in what used to be the prophet house.See Also:
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the holiest city in Islam, Makkah or Madinah?
Makkah is the holiest, home to the Kaaba and Masjid al-Haram, toward which Muslims pray. Madinah is the second holiest, holding the Prophet's Mosque with its famous Green Dome. Both cities draw millions of pilgrims each year.
Is photography allowed inside Masjid al-Haram and the Prophet's Mosque?
Personal photography has traditionally been permitted, but with strict etiquette: never block the movement of worshippers, never disrupt prayer, and respect the privacy of others. Rules have been tightened at various times, so check the current guidance from the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah before your trip and follow the instructions of mosque staff on site.
What makes Makkah and Madinah photography so striking?
The combination of monumental Islamic architecture — the Kaaba, the minarets, the Green Dome — with dramatic light at twilight and night. Many of the most powerful shots in this collection are taken at sunset or after dark, when the mosques are illuminated and the crowds add scale.
Can I use these photos as desktop wallpapers?
Yes, they are shared for personal enjoyment — setting them as a desktop or phone background, or sharing them with family. Choose a resolution that matches your screen, and use them respectfully given the sacred nature of what they depict.
