Summary
The Prophet's Mosque was built on the spot where the Prophet's camel stopped, on land owned by two orphans from the Ansar. The Prophet insisted on buying the land for 10 gold dinars, paid from Abu Bakr's wealth. He worked alongside the Ansar and Muhajirin carrying bricks until it was completed. The mosque served as a place of prayer, gathering, planning of community affairs and shelter for poor Muhajirin.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pembinaan masjid Nabawi adalah dilakukan di tapak bertepatan dengan tempat unta Baginda berhenti. Tapak masjid tersebut adalah sebidang tanah yang dimiliki oleh dua orang anak yatim.
