Madinah
Madinah province in Saudi Arabia is headed by the Holy City of Madinah. Historically and religiously, the Province of Madinah is very significant. Madinah is home to one of Islam's Two Holiest Cities, hence it is not short of sacred locations. Around Masjid An Nabawi, the city is centered. Other names for it include Taibah, Yathrib, the City of the Messenger, and Dar Al-Hijra. It is the city whose residents backed Prophet Mohammad when he moved there from Makkah. Madinah is home to the Islamic University, the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran, the Prophet's Mosque, his grave, and several Islamic archeological sites.
