Minarets at Sunrise at Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi, Madina, Saudi Arabia (The Mosque of The Prophet)

Al-Masjid al-Nabawī very often called the Prophet's Mosque, is a mosque built by the Islamic Prophet Muhammad situated in the city of Medina. It is the second holiest site in Islam (the first being the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca). It was the second mosque built in history and is now one of the largest mosques in the world. After an expansion during the reign of al-Walid I, it also now incorporates the site of the final resting place of Muhammad and early Muslim leaders Abu Bakr and Umar.
