What is the Population of Madinah
Medina's current population (as of 2023) is 1,545,000, an increase of 1.78% from 2022.
What is Madinah?
The full name of Medina is known as Madina Rasul Allah (City of the Prophet of Allah SWT (PBUH)). However, for better understanding and pronunciation, the name is abbreviated to Madinah, meaning 'city' or Madina Al Mnawwala, meaning 'illuminated city'.
Medina is considered his second holiest city in Islam. It is the city where the Messenger of Allah SWT (PBUH) and the early Muslims took refuge when they emigrated from Mecca.
Madinah Al-Nabi was formerly known as Yathrib, the agricultural center of Saudi Arabia. Located roughly in the center of the Arabian Peninsula, Medina was blessed with abundant water supplies and was a popular stopover for caravans and merchants.
Medina is the city that laid the foundations of Islamic society and gave early converts a place to practice their religion peacefully. It is in Medina that there are Masjid al-Quba, Masjid al-Kiblatin (the mosque whose prayer direction has been changed to the Kaaba) and Masjid-e-Nabawi (the mosque of the Prophet (peace be upon him)).
What is Mecca?
Mecca is considered the holiest city in Islam, as it is home to Islam's holiest site Kaaba ('Cube') in the Masjid Al-Ḥaram (The Sacred Mosque). Only Muslims are allowed to enter this place.
The area of Mecca, which includes Mount Arafah, Mina and Muzdalifah, is important for the Ḥajj ('Pilgrimage'). As one of the Five Pillars of Islam, every adult Muslim who is capable must perform the Hajj at least once in their lifetime. Hajj is one of the largest annual Muslim gatherings in the world, second only to pilgrimages to the mosques of Husayn ibn Ali and his half-brother Abbas in Karbala, Iraq, with attendance reaching three million in 2012.

Before the spread of Islam, the city was called Yathrib and renamed Medina in honor of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). After the completion of the Ottoman Hijaz Railway in 1908, the city became the southern terminus. Since 1920, more than 139 varieties of date palms have been grown in Medina. Medina is located in the most fertile area of the Hijaz Territory.
Why is Medina important in Islam?Italic text
Medina is one of Islam's holiest cities and an important destination for millions of Muslims traveling to Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage to Mecca (Umrah). Medina focuses on Masjid Al-Nabawi, a mosque built by the Messenger of Allah SWT (Peace be upon him) and where he (Peace be upon him) is buried.
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) lived here after emigrating from Mecca and he (Peace be upon him) laid the foundations of Islam. Medina played an important role in the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the spread of Islam.
Anas (RA) said that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: If only they could fully comprehend its virtues, they would never leave it, and whoever leaves Medina after being disappointed in it, Allah will send someone in his place. Whoever patiently endures the trials of Medina, I will become an intercessor (or witness) on the day of Kiyama. (Muslim) Anas (RA) also said: Returning and observing the walls of Medina, he let the horse go swiftly, and if he sat on an animal (that is, a horse), he made it gallop because of his love for Medina.
History of Madinah
- Medina, formerly known as Yathrib, is an oasis city dating back to the 6th century BC. go back. After the Roman-Jewish War, many Jews fled Jerusalem and took refuge in Medina.
Nero sent a large Roman army under Petra Leonidas to slaughter the Jews at Yathrib, but they managed to survive, and when the Prophet (peace be upon him) migrated to Medina, the city was It was surrounded by Jews who eagerly awaited the messenger (PBUH) of Allah SWT.
Medina is a place of great importance in Islam. Known as the city of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), this city settled after he (PBUH) emigrated to Medina in 622 AD and remained there until his death.
Formerly called Yathrib, it was Medina where the Messenger of Allah SWT (PBUH) established the first mosque, Masjid Nabawi, in the heart of the city after his emigration. Moreover, Medina was the city where he (PBUH) laid the foundation of the brotherhood between the Muhajirin (people who migrated from Mecca) and the Ansar (people of Medina).
What Is the Significance of Mecca?
Mecca is considered the holiest city in Islam. Mecca is home to the Holy Kaaba and is the destination for all Muslims who perform Hajj and Umrah duties. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in Mecca, where he (peace be upon him) was ordained as a prophet in the cave of Hira.
The city of Makkah is home to some of the most important monuments of Islam, such as Masjid Al Haram, Holy Kaaba, Muzdalifah, Safa and Marwa, Zamzam Well, Hajleh Aswad (Black Stone), Makamui-Ibrahim. I have.
Allah SWT says in the Holy Quran: The signs are there. (Example) Abraham's station. Anyone who enters there gains security. Pilgrimage is a duty owed to Allah by those who can afford to travel. But if someone does not believe, Allah has no need of His creation. (Quran 3:96-97)
Remember what Abraham said. Make this city a peaceful and safe one, and prevent me and my sons from worshiping idols. (Quran 14:35)
What’s the Difference between Mecca and Medina?
Both Mecca and Medina witnessed precious early moments in Islamic history, such as the birth of the Last Messenger of Allah SWT (PBUH) and the revelation of the Holy Quran.
Mecca, the center of Abraham's three faiths, contains some of the most important Islamic sites, such as the Holy Kaaba, the Masjid Haram (Great Mosque), the Well of Zamzam, Mount Safa and Mount Marwa. I have. and Makham-e-Ibrahim.
Medina, on the other hand, is home to the tombs of Masjid Al-Quba, Masjid-e-Kiblayton, Masjid-e-Nabawi and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Apart from these, the only major difference between the cities is that Mecca was the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who (SAW) lived in Medina from his emigration until his last breath.
In Islam, both Mecca and Medina are considered safe havens for all living beings, humans, animals and even plants. Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn Asim said the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: And I prayed to Allah SWT (that is, for the people of Medina) as Abraham did for the people of Mecca. (Al Bukhari)
Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran: He said "Lord, make this a city of peace and give fruit to those who believe in Allah and the Last Day," he said. "(Yes) And those who do not believe, for a little while I will. Give them joy, but soon I will drive them into the throes of fire. (Quran 2:126)
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: Ad-Dajjal (Antichrist) shall enter no place but Mecca and Medina, no entrance but the angels. There is no (way), but stands in line and confronts him, and then Madinah and its inhabitants tremble three times, and Allah drives out from there all the unbelievers and hypocrites (Bukhari)

Apart from other restrictions recently imposed by Saudi Arabia, the ban on travel to Medina and later to Mecca was introduced during the reign of King Nur-ud-din Zangi of Siam (now Syria).
It's a long story, but I'll keep it short for the reader.
In 474 Pope Sixtus 1V planned to take the remains of the Prophet Muhammad from the tomb, bring them to Rome and display them in St. I was.
He sent two of his monks from Rome disguised as Arabs to live in Medina and dig a tunnel out of a house near the Mosque of the Prophet where he is buried.
One night, King Zangi had a dream. The Prophet told them that they were going to move their bodies. The king was very worried and asked his advisers what to do. They asked him for additional alms and prayers. Second night it happened again. This time the Prophet showed the King his two faces and told him to stop it.
The king immediately prepared his guards and marched from the capital Halab to Medina. When he reached Medina, he ordered the governor to lead all the citizens of the city before him. bottom. He asked if there was anyone else in town. He was told that there were two old men who roamed the streets handing out water during the day and retired to pray near the mosque at night.
The king ordered the two to be brought out at once.
He immediately recognized them when they were brought before the king. When they searched their whereabouts, a tunnel hidden under the carpet was discovered, leading to the tomb of the Prophet.
The men admitted to being spies sent by the Pope. They were executed on the spot. The king then ordered a ditch to be dug around the tomb to water level and filled it with zinc ore to prevent another attempt to be repeated.
King Noor-ud-Din Zangi decreed that non-Muslims should not be allowed to enter Medina and Mecca.
Many Americans and other foreigners today work in Saudi Arabia and even Mecca and Medina, but are not allowed to enter the Prophet's Mosque in Medina or the Kaba in Mecca. These two places are sacred places for Muslims to perform Hajj and pray at the tomb of the Prophet.
Personally, I have no problem with non-Muslims visiting the city as tourists. It will generate goodwill.
