🌴 3 amazing facts about Masjid Nabawi itself that most people don't know ﷺ Masjid Nabawi — the Prophet's Mosque — was built by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with his own blessed hands in 622 CE. It started as a simple structure made of mud walls, palm tree trunks, and a roof of palm leaves, measuring just 30 × 35 meters. Today, it covers over 400,000 square meters — larger than the entire old walled city of Madinah. Even Jannat al-Baqi, which was once a graveyard on the outskirts of the city, now sits within the mosque complex. The iconic Green Dome that we all know and love wasn't built until 1279 CE — over 650 years after the Prophet ﷺ passed away. And it wasn't even painted green until 1837. Before that, it went through several different colors. In 1908, Masjid Nabawi became the first building in all of Arabia to be lit by electric light. Today, the mosque shines with over 100,000 light bulbs and 2,000 chandeliers. All of this — every expansion, every light, every brick — was built to honor our beloved Nabi ﷺ.
