'''Imam Ali Mosque(a)''' is one of the historical mosques in [[Medina]], built on the site of the [[Musalla of the Prophet(s)]]. The prayer ground was an open area where the Prophet and the people of Medina performed Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr prayers. This mosque is located in the [[Manakha]] district, west of the [[Prophet's Mosque]]. According to reports, Imam Ali (a) led Eid prayers at this site when [[Uthman ibn Affan|Uthman]] was under siege by his opponents. 


==Location== 
**Masjid al-Ghamama**, also known as the **Musalla Mosque**, is a mosque located west of the [[Prophet's Mosque]] in the city of [[Medina]]. Along with two other mosques (the [[Imam Ali Mosque (Manakha)|Ali ibn Abi Talib Mosque]] and the [[Abu Bakr Mosque (Manakha)|Abu Bakr Mosque]]), collectively referred to as the **Prayer Ground Mosques**, Masjid al-Ghamama was built in an open area known as **Manakha**, where the Prophet performed Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr prayers.   
The Mosque of Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS), the [[Musalla Mosque]], and the [[Abu Bakr Mosque (Medina)|Abu Bakr Mosque]] are three mosques known as the Prophet's Prayer Ground Mosques in the Manakha district. These mosques are located close to each other, west of the Prophet's Mosque.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=223 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 223]</ref> The Imam Ali Mosque is located north of the Musalla Mosque and the Abu Bakr Mosque, with a distance of 122 meters from the Musalla Mosque, 80 meters from the Abu Bakr Mosque, and 290 meters from the Prophet's Mosque.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=242 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 242]; Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara bayn al-ʿImāra wa al-Tārīkh, vol. 1, p. 486.</ref>  


According to Samhudi (d. 911 AH), a historian of Medina, these mosques were built on the sites where the Prophet performed Eid prayers. These locations were initially not mosques but open spaces or deserts that were later converted into mosques.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=122 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 122]</ref>  
The current structure of Masjid al-Ghamama dates back to the time of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire (r. 1255–1277 AH / 1839–1861 CE) and has only been restored since then.   


==Naming==  
### Location  
According to narrations, when Uthman was under siege in his house by his opponents, [[Imam Ali (AS)]] performed Eid prayers at this site. Some historians of Medina believe this event is the reason for the mosque's name.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=121 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 121]</ref> They emphasize that Imam Ali (AS) and the caliphs only performed Eid prayers at the Prophet's prayer grounds; thus, the Mosque of Ali ibn Abi Talib is one of the Prophet's prayer grounds.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Al-Taʿrīf bi-mā Anasat al-Hijra.pdf&page=147 Al-Taʿrīf bi-mā Anasat al-Hijra, p. 147]</ref>   
Masjid al-Ghamama, or the Musalla Mosque, is located southwest of the [[Prophet's Mosque]] in an area known as the **Prayer Ground**. This area, called **Manakha**, was a desert where the Medina market was also held. The Prophet used this open space for Eid prayers (Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr) and the prayer for rain (Istisqa).<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=122 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 122]; [https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=223 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 223]</ref>   


==History of the Mosque's Construction==  
{{Main|Prophet's Prayer Ground (PBUH)}}  
According to Samhudi, the mosque was first built during the time of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz (r. 87–93 AH). However, it was later abandoned, and the site became a burial ground for pilgrims who passed away during the [[Hajj season]]. In 881 AH, Zayn al-Din Digham al-Mansuri, the governor of Medina, reconstructed it.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=123 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 123]</ref>   
[[Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)]] performed Eid prayers in various locations within Manakha. Later, mosques were built on some of these sites, collectively known as the **Prayer Ground Mosques**. The other two mosques are the [[Imam Ali Mosque (Manakha)|Ali ibn Abi Talib Mosque]] and the [[Abu Bakr Mosque (Manakha)|Abu Bakr Mosque]].<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=223 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 223]</ref>   


Ali ibn Musa, in 1303 AH (1885 CE), described the mosque as having a single minaret.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wasf_al-Madina_al-Munawwara.pdf&page=1 Wasf al-Madīna al-Munawwara, p. 17]</ref> Ibrahim Rif'at Pasha also mentioned the mosque during his travels in 1318 AH.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/images/9/9e/Mirʾāt_al-Haramayn_Ibrahim_Rifʿat_Pasha_Vol1.pdf Mirʾāt al-Haramayn, vol. 1, p. 422]</ref>   
### Naming 
The name **Ghamama** means "cloud." It is said that once, while the Prophet was performing the prayer for rain (Istisqa), a cloud shaded him, and then rain fell.<ref>Madīna Shināsī, vol. 1, p. 153</ref>   


===Reconstruction in the 13th Century AH===
Masjid al-Ghamama is also called the **Musalla Mosque** because it is believed to be the site where the Prophet performed Eid prayers in the final years of his life.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=117 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 117]</ref>   
An inscription, reportedly present on the mosque's wall until the early 20th century, contained verses indicating that the mosque was reconstructed in 1269 AH (1852 CE) during the reign of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Al-Madina_al-Munawwara_Tatawwuruhā_al-ʿUmrānī.pdf&page=158 Al-Madīna al-Munawwara, p. 158]; [https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Maʿālim_al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_bayn_al-ʿImāra_wa_al-Tārīkh_Juzʾ4_Mujallad1.pdf&page=489 Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara, Juzʾ 4, Mujallad 1, p. 489]</ref> The building, before its reconstruction in 1411 AH (1991 CE), looked like this:  


[[File:نمای مسجد امام علی پیش از بازسازی 1991.png|وسط|بی‌قاب|593x593px|جایگزین=The building as it stood in 1269 AH]]   
### History of the Mosque 
The site of Masjid al-Ghamama was the last prayer ground used by the Prophet. It was the final place where he performed Eid prayers, and after his passing, Eid and rain prayers continued to be held there. During the time of [[Ibn Zabala]] (d. 200 AH) and [[Ibn Shabba]] (d. 262 AH), historians of Medina, this site was recognized as the prayer ground.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=115 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 115]</ref>  


===Reconstruction in 1991 CE=== 
It is said that this site was near the house of Kathir ibn Salt, a companion of the Prophet, and located to its south.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=118 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 118]</ref>   
The Imam Ali Mosque in Manakha was completely demolished and reconstructed in 1411 AH (1991 CE) due to its deterioration. It was rebuilt in its original architectural style,<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=243 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 243]; [https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Maʿālim_al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_bayn_al-ʿImāra_wa_al-Tārīkh_Juzʾ4_Mujallad1.pdf&page=490 Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara, Juzʾ 4, Mujallad 1, p. 490]</ref> with the addition of a women's prayer area and restrooms.<ref name=":0">[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Maʿālim_al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_bayn_al-ʿImāra_wa_al-Tārīkh_Juzʾ4_Mujallad1.pdf&page=490 Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara, Juzʾ 4, Mujallad 1, p. 490]</ref> Further renovations were carried out in 1429 AH (2009 CE).<ref name=":0" />

==Architectural Features==
#### 9th Century and Beyond 
The Imam Ali Mosque (AS) has a rectangular structure. To the north is an open courtyard, and to the south is a covered arcade with seven domes, the largest of which is above the mihrab. The arcade is 30 meters long and 6 meters wide, with doors opening to the mosque's courtyard. The mosque also has a minaret located in the southeastern corner.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Maʿālim_al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_bayn_al-ʿImāra_wa_al-Tārīkh_Juzʾ4_Mujallad1.pdf&page=490 Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara bayn al-ʿImāra wa al-Tārīkh, vol. 1, p. 490]</ref>   
Masjid al-Ghamama is mentioned in the reports of Medina historians from the 8th century.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Al-Taʿrīf bi-mā Anasat al-Hijra.pdf&page=146 Al-Taʿrīf bi-mā Anasat al-Hijra, p. 146]</ref> According to Samhudi (d. 911 AH), it was likely first built during the time of [[Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz]].<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=122 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 122]</ref> Samhudi reports that the mosque existed during his time, though it was in a state of disrepair. An inscription on the mosque's door stated that it was reconstructed by the order of Izz al-Din, the Sheikh of the Haram in Mecca (d. 761 AH).<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=123 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 123]</ref> The mosque was reconstructed in 861 AH by Amir Bardbak, who was an architect.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=146 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 146]</ref>

#### Ottoman Era Reconstruction 
File:مسجد امام علی (ع)2.jpg   
Masjid al-Ghamama was reconstructed during the reign of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire (r. 1255–1277 AH / 1839–1861 CE), and the same structure remains to this day.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Maʿālim_al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_bayn_al-ʿImāra_wa_al-Tārīkh_Juzʾ4_Mujallad1.pdf&page=348 Maʿālim al-Madīna bayn al-ʿImāra wa al-Tārīkh, Juzʾ 4, Mujallad 1, p. 348]</ref> During the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1293–1327 AH / 1876–1909 CE), further renovations were carried out.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=223 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 232]</ref> In the [[Saudi era]], the mosque was restored based on the same structure, with an inscription dating the restoration to 1411 AH during the reign of King Fahd.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=234 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 234]</ref>

### Description of the Mosque 
Masjid al-Ghamama is 26 meters long, approximately 13 meters wide, and covers a total area of 338 square meters. The mosque has six circular domes, the largest of which is above the mihrab. Salih Lam'i Mustafa, in his book **Al-Madīna al-Munawwara: Tatawwuruhā al-ʿUmrānī**, provides a detailed description and analysis of the mosque's architecture.<ref>See: [https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_Tatawwuruhā_al-ʿUmrānī.pdf&page=138 Al-Madīna al-Munawwara: Tatawwuruhā al-ʿUmrānī, pp. 138–145.]</ref> 
 
### The Minbar of the Musalla Mosque 
In recent times, the mosque housed a minbar with nine steps, bearing an inscription from Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. It is said that this minbar was likely a gift from him to the Prophet's Mosque, transferred to the Musalla Mosque in 998 AH / 1590 CE.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_Tatawwuruhā_al-ʿUmrānī.pdf&page=142 Al-Madīna al-Munawwara: Tatawwuruhā al-ʿUmrānī, p. 142]; [https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Maʿālim_al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_bayn_al-ʿImāra_wa_al-Tārīkh_Juzʾ4_Mujallad1.pdf&page=366 Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara bayn al-ʿImāra wa al-Tārīkh, Juzʾ 4, Mujallad 1, p. 366]</ref> Some authors, including Abd al-Aziz Ka'ki in his book **Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara bayn al-ʿImāra wa al-Tārīkh**, published in 2011, have published images of the minbar.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Maʿālim_al-Madīna_al-Munawwara_bayn_al-ʿImāra_wa_al-Tārīkh_Juzʾ4_Mujallad1.pdf&page=364 Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara, Juzʾ 4, Mujallad 1, p. 364]</ref> However, the minbar is not visible in recent images of Masjid al-Ghamama.{{Citation needed}}
