These small mosques are located on the west side of Mount Sela at a section of the trench that Muslims dug during the era of the Prophet Muhammed lPeace be Upon Him) to defend Madinah when Quraysh and the allied tribes marched to it in the 5th year of migration in the Battle of Al-Ahzab or the Battle of Al-Khandaq Trench). It is said that these mosques served as stationing and surveillance positions in that battle, anc each mosque Was named after the honorable companion who stationed in it, with the exception of Aا-Fat'h Mosque, which was built on the site of a dome built for the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) These mosques were built during the reign of omar bir Abdulaziz over Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, and they were restored at various times ثار Heritage Commission ٥

The seven mosques is actually a cluster of six mosques at the site of Jange Khandaq. There is a large mosque at the base and other mosques like Fat'h mosque uphill. Each mosque is attributed to a sahabah (prophet's companion) like Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali, Salman Farsi and Saad bin Muadh. At this place Prophet SAW offered prayers and later a dome was constructed at the site. You can see the mountain from the courtyard of the mosque. This is the place where Khandaq (Trenches) were dug during historic Jange Khandaq. Usually people pray two rakah Nafil at this site. You can fund an Uber or Qayan cab from the app. It takes ~10-15 riyal for a ride to Haram Shareef.

Seven Mosques in Saudi Arabia’s located in Medina city is a complex of mosques. These seven mosques are linked to Ghazwat al-Khandaq (the Battle of the Trench), also known as Ghazwat al-Ahzab (Battle of the Confederates), and they are located on the western side of the Sala’ Mountain, near a part of the trench which the Muslims dug during the Prophet’s time to defend Medina when the armies of Quraysh and tribes allied with it marched towards it in 5 A.H. Muslims defending Medina were stationed in these mosques and each mosque was named after the person who was stationed there, except for Al-Fath Mosque. From north to south, these mosques are Al-Fath Mosque, Salman Al-Farsi Mosque, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq Mosque, Umar bin Khattab Mosque Ali bin Abi Talib Mosque and Fatimah Az-Zahra Mosque. According to historians, the real number of mosques was six and the Masjid al-Qiblatayn Mosque, and which is one kilometer away from them, was added to them because those who usually visit these six mosques also visit the Masjid al-Qiblatayn Mosque. The largest mosque is Al-Fath Mosque also known as Al-Ahzab Mosque. It is built above a hill in the west part of Sala’ Mountain. It was called Al-Ahzab Mosque because it wass where the Prophet, peace and prayer be upon him, prayed during the Ghazwat al-Ahzab. It was also called Al-Fath because the Quran’s Al-Fath Surah was revealed in that location as the battle’s result ended in triumph for Muslims.

5 Masjids are together. Out of these only 2 are open for visitors and worshippers. 2 masjids are on the hill top and difficult to reach

Ghazwa e Khandaq, also known as the Battle of the Trench, took place in 627 CE (5 AH in the Islamic calendar). It was a significant battle during the early years of Islam involving the Muslims of Medina, led by Prophet Muhammad, against the Quraysh tribe of Mecca and their allies. The conflict arose when the Quraysh, along with other Arab tribes, marched towards Medina to attack the Muslims. To protect the city, the Muslims dug a trench (khandaq) around Medina, a defensive strategy suggested by Salman al-Farsi, a companion of the Prophet. The siege lasted for about a month, during which the Muslims endured harsh conditions and faced various challenges. However, due to the defensive trench and unfavorable weather conditions, the attackers were unable to breach Medina's defenses. Eventually, internal disputes among the coalition forces, coupled with strong winds and fatigue, led to their withdrawal. The Battle of the Trench was a turning point in early Islamic history as it showcased the strategic acumen of the Muslims in defending their community against external threats. It also solidified the unity among the diverse Muslim and non-Muslim tribes living in Medina at that time.

Ma Sha Allah vey big masjid in the area of Al Khandaq Battle. There were seven mosques in the area, 3 demolished and this big masjid constructed. Very nice parking area is available. You need to use the stairs to enter the masjid as it is on hight. There is a slope for wheelchair.

The Seven Mosques is a complex of six small historic and often visited mosques in the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia. The complex consists of six mosques in spite of the name "Sab'ah" means "seven", because Saudis demolished one. These mosques are located in south of Mount Sela which was the scene of the Battle of the Trench (Ghazwa E Khandaq).

The Battle of Khandaq(Trench) in the 5th year of Hijri resulted in the victory of the Muslims over the enemy tribes, including the Jewish leaders and the Quraysh, who planned to attack Medina but were expelled from the city.

The seven mosques are Al Fateh, Mosque of Omer, mosque of Ali, mosque of Fatema, Mosque of Salman Al Faresi, One of the historical Islamic places where the battle of the trench took place. The seven mosques built on the defence position of Al Sahabah and the profit when defending the city.

Nice masjid there 7 masjid. Nice place. As one of the seven mosques, Al-Fateh is significant for the fact that the Prophet (peace be upon him) stayed at the site for a month, in preparation for Al-Ahzab (or Al-Khandaq) Battle. It was built-up for the first time when Umar ibn Abd Al-Aziz was the Prince of Medinah, which explains why the architectural features of the mosque are called "umariyyah", after the caliph’s name. In this special style, volcanic rocks are used for the foundation. It was called Al-Fateh (Arabic for victory) because of the great outcome of Al-Khandaq Battle for Muslims.

Absolutely loved this place. Historically most important place for Muslims. The khanthaq war was happened here. This war is named as al-Khandaq (trench) because Muslims dug a trench. This war is also well-known in the history of islam. We can see seven mosques here. Names of these 7 Masjids are - AlFath, Salman Farsi, AbuBakr Siddiq, Omar bin Khattab, Ali bin AbuTalib, Fatima. Ofcourse, now we see one Masjid which is combination of all these 6; some call it the 7 Masjids and some call it "Masjid-e-Khandaq. Loved this place.

This mosque has been built as a commemoration of the camps that were put up by the Prophet's (PBUH) companions during the 3rd Ghazwa (war). Secondly, the 7 mosques are actually 6. Probably, Masjid Qiblatayn was part of this group of 7, however, now it is a separate mosque.

Ma Sha Allah vey big masjid in the area of Al Khandaq Battle. There were seven mosques in the area, 3 demolished and this big masjid constructed.

The modern Masjid Al-Khandaq (مسجد الخندق) or the Mosque of the “Trench,” which is also referred to as the “Mosque of the Conquest,” is the modern mosque at the site. It is connected to the Battle of the Trench, which took place during the time of our Prophet Muhammad SAW. The placements of the mosques are Masjid Al-Khandaq, Masjid Fatima, Masjid Ali, Masjid Umar, Masjid Abu Bakar, Masjid Salman Farsi and Masjid Al Fatah. Alhamdulillah, mashaAlllah, tabarakAllah..

Historically important place for Muslims. They call it seven mosques but are actually six. Situated in the valley of Mount Sala'. The history of these masjids are dates back to Hijra 5 when the battle of Trench (Khandaq battle) happened. The six masjids are build in the places where Muslim warriors statoned during the battle. None of these masjids were build as seen today but those were mere "small places" and later on masjids are build and named accordingly like Salman Al-Farsi Mosque, Abu Bakr Siddiq Mosque, Umar bin Khattab Mosque, Ali bin Abi Talib Mosque and Fatimah Az-Zahra Mosque. Also, there is al Fatah mosque which is the largest

This is the place of Ghazwa E Khandaq, where 7 masjids are built on the places of tents of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his companions.

The Seven Mosques (Arabic: المساجد السبعة, romanized: al-Masājid al-Saʿba) is a complex of six small historic and often visited mosques in the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia. The complex consists of six mosques in spite of the name "Sab'ah" means "seven", because Saudis demolished one. Although the mosque is often visited by pilgrims, Saudi sources claim that there are no accounts in the order from the Islamic prophet Muhammad or in Sharia regarding the virtue of visiting these mosques. The prophet said: "You do not force yourself for preparation of visiting except these three mosques: Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, Masjid al-Haram, and Al-Aqsa. But recently there is a push towards saving this as cultural and religious heritage. Like referred below for Masjid Ali bin Abu Talib.

I am so glad the Saudi Government decided to open the historic mosques again. They built a new one at the site of some of the mosques and the 2 old ones that were remaining have been refurbished and opened. There seems to be a new one constructed close to Masjid Fatah (pictured). Can't remember this one being there since my childhood days. Can someone shed light on which one this is?

good one

Beautiful combination of old and new Masjids. A must see history.

These Seven Masjid is sacred place of Muslims. These masjids are made on the location where Muslims stayed during Ghazwah e Khandaq. (The battle of TRENCH). Dated. Monday, 29 December 626 CE - Saturday, 24 January 627 CE. The Battle of the Trench (Arabic: غزوة الخندق, romanized: Ghazwat al-Khandaq), also known as the Battle of Khandaq (Arabic: معركة الخندق, romanized: Ma’rakah al-Khandaq) and the Battle of the Confederates (Arabic: غزوة الاحزاب, romanized: Ghazwat al-Ahzab), was a 27-day-long defense by Muslims of Yathrib (now Medina) from Arab and Jewish tribes. The strength of the confederate armies is estimated at around 10,000 men with six hundred horses and some camels, while the Medinan defenders numbered 3,000. The largely outnumbered defenders of Medina, mainly Muslims led by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, dug a trench on the suggestion of Salman the Persian,[5] which, together with Medina's natural fortifications, rendered the confederacy's cavalry (consisting of horses and camels) useless, locking the two sides in a stalemate. Hoping to make several attacks at once, the confederates persuaded the Muslim-allied Medinan Jews, Banu Qurayza, to attack the city from the south. However, Muhammad's diplomacy derailed the negotiations, and broke up the confederacy against him. The well-organized defenders, the sinking of confederate morale, and poor weather conditions caused the siege to end in a fiasco. The siege was a "battle of wits", in which the Muslims tactically overcame their opponents while suffering very few casualties. Efforts to defeat the Muslims failed, and Islam became influential in the region. As a consequence, the Muslim army besieged the area of the Banu Qurayza tribe, leading to their surrender. The defeat caused the Meccans to lose their trade and much of their prestige.[

A beautiful place to visit. esp when u look at old mosques it gives u idea of past times. amazing experience of visiting.alhamdulillah

It is at the battle ground of Khandaq (Trench). There were 6 mosques (7 including qiblatain) but now they have made a grand mosque instead of 6.

Nice historic place, battle of Khandak

One of the oldest places in Medina Sadly only two mosques of the old seven mosques kept in a good shape, the other five are no more The two mosques are really nice as they give that impression of the old version of Medina. The big modern mosque is really nice too but does't have the old architectury of Medina.
