This piece concludes my Hajj essay and it covers Holy and historical sites in the city of the Prophet salallahualaiyhiwassalam - Madinah. Visiting the places we have read and heard about from the Seerah of the Prophet (s), stories of the Hijrat (migration) from 1400 years ago was phenomenal. A truly amazing experience. The cool and calm winds of Madinah were matched by the warm and welcoming people of Madinah.

Masjid Qiblatain - literally 'Masjid of 2 Qiblahs' In this Masjid the Qiblah (prayer direction) was changed from Masjid al Aqsa (Jerusalem) to Masjid al Haram (Makkah) while RasoolAllah salallahualaiyhiwassalam and his companions prayed here
