About Masjid Al Ghamamah

Located 400 meters west of the Prophet’s Mosque, the Mosque-of Al-Ghamama is one of the oldest Medina tourist attractions that has many legendary stories associated with it. In the year 631, it was at this mosque’s site where the Prophet performed an Eid Prayer. Nowadays, it is one of Medina’s historical relics.

According to a story, some narrate that this mosque was called to be a cloud that blocked the sun from the Prophet as he offered Salat Al Istisqa (prayer for rains). This is a crucial ziyarat place and is also the same place where the clouds appeared immediately and began a heavy downpour. There is another story that mentions the mosque as Musalla Mosque because most of the Prophet's prayer for two feasts was in it.
