The Seven Mosques - 3423

Its great place for prayers. Its historical places to visit

I am so glad the Saudi Government decided to open the historic mosques again. They built a new one at the site of some of the mosques and the 2 old ones that were remaining have been refurbished and opened. There seems to be a new one constructed close to Masjid Fatah (pictured). Can't remember this one being there since my childhood days. Can someone shed light on which one this is?

Beautiful combination of old and new Masjids. A must see history.

Beautiful site of Masjids, old and newly refurbished. Well preserved & looked after. A must visit

This is the place of Ghazwa E Khandaq, where 7 masjids are built on the places of tents of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his companions.

These Seven Masjid is sacred place of Muslims. These masjids are made on the location where Muslims stayed during Ghazwah e Khandaq. (The battle of TRENCH). Dated. Monday, 29 December 626 CE - Saturday, 24 January 627 CE. The Battle of the Trench (Arabic: غزوة الخندق, romanized: Ghazwat al-Khandaq), also known as the Battle of Khandaq (Arabic: معركة الخندق, romanized: Ma’rakah al-Khandaq) and the Battle of the Confederates (Arabic: غزوة الاحزاب, romanized: Ghazwat al-Ahzab), was a 27-day-long defense by Muslims of Yathrib (now Medina) from Arab and Jewish tribes. The strength of the confederate armies is estimated at around 10,000 men with six hundred horses and some camels, while the Medinan defenders numbered 3,000. The largely outnumbered defenders of Medina, mainly Muslims led by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, dug a trench on the suggestion of Salman the Persian,[5] which, together with Medina's natural fortifications, rendered the confederacy's cavalry (consisting of horses and camels) useless, locking the two sides in a stalemate. Hoping to make several attacks at once, the confederates persuaded the Muslim-allied Medinan Jews, Banu Qurayza, to attack the city from the south. However, Muhammad's diplomacy derailed the negotiations, and broke up the confederacy against him. The well-organized defenders, the sinking of confederate morale, and poor weather conditions caused the siege to end in a fiasco. The siege was a "battle of wits", in which the Muslims tactically overcame their opponents while suffering very few casualties. Efforts to defeat the Muslims failed, and Islam became influential in the region. As a consequence, the Muslim army besieged the area of the Banu Qurayza tribe, leading to their surrender. The defeat caused the Meccans to lose their trade and much of their prestige.[

Historically important place for Muslims. The history of these masjids are dates back to Hijra 5 when the battle of Trench (Khandaq battle) happened.

The Seven Masajid 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. From north to south, these masajid 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.
