Visiting Madinah

recommended that as many prayers be offered as possible in Masjid al-Nabawi. After completing prayers and reciting Salat in Masjid alNabawi, pilgrims should visit the significant historical sites of Islam in Madinah, such as Jannat al-Baqi, where many Companions of the Prophet are buried, Masjid Quba, where the Prophet offered his first prayer after arriving in Madinah; Mount Uhud, the site of the second major battle in Islam; and Masjid al-Qiblatayn, where the command to change the Qiblah (direction of prayer) was revealed during a prayer.
