Medina

Medina is a city in western Saudi Arabia, significant for its deep historical and religious importance in Islam. It was the destination of the Prophet Muhammad's migration (Hijra) from Mecca in 622 CE and became the first city to embrace Islam, establishing a community based on its teachings. The mosque in Medina, known as Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, houses the Prophet's tomb and is a major pilgrimage site for Muslims. Medina is also noted for its contributions to Islamic scholarship and governance during the early years of the Islamic community.
