1 .  In the last stage of his journey (Migration), when Prophet (S. A. W.) left Quba (few Kilometers from Madina) " his Camel stopped walking and sat down in a open area of "Bani-Bukhar". According to Prophet (S. A. W.), it is our last destination and this is Almighty Allah's order. It was the the land of two orphans - Sohail and Sahal. These two orphans did not want any cost of this land. They said, "we shall

take reward of it on the Day of Judgment". They wanted to give their land voluntarily to beloved Prophet (S. A. W.), but kind hearted Muhammad (S. A. W.) estimated its cost which was paid by Syedna Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) from his own pocket. It was the place where the Mosque of Prophet (S. A. W.) was decided to built.

Masjid Nabvi (Prophet (P.B.U.H.) Mosque2 .  In early stages it was only a piece of land where there were some graves of polytheist (Mushrakeen)
and on the other side there were some trees of dates. And some part of the land was full with rain water.
In first instance all the trees were cut and a mosque was built which roof was very short and can be touched just raising a hand up. After this initial stage, it was constructed with mud which was brought from the place where today the grave yard of Madina (Janat-ul-Baqqi) is situated. During this construction not onlythe companions but Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.), him self worked practically. Prophet (S. A. W.) brought bricks and helped his companions to build this spiritual mosque.

Lighting system is so impressive that no one feels when the sun sets and artificial lights replace it. Every courtyard has four big umbrellas which cover it in sun and rain. Its air conditioning system is most modern. Air conditioning plant is situated eight (8) kilometers away from "Masjid-e-Nabvi" and cold air is brought through a tunnel which keeps whole the mosque cool. The whole city of old Madina has now come in the covered area of Masjid-e-Nabvi. Graveyard "Jannat-ul-Baqqi" which was thought out side the city, now looks just out side "Masjid". This vast extension provides thousands of faithfuls to offer prayer in one time. "Masjid-e-Nabvi" also has an upper leval and a roof which have doubled its capacity.
